Ela's Last Soccer Game will be COOOOLLLDDD

The weather prediction for today is cold and rainy. Temps in the 40's. Ela has had a good season. Some goals scored and some saved as well. I think she is very competitive and a team player. Good Luck today my ELA. I will see you at the game.
P.S. the weather turned out better than we expected. Sunny but cool. They won 5-0.

NEWS from the FEDOROWICZ Families

Daniella,

Thanks for the B'day wishes for Hallie; I'll pass it on to her. We celebrated her B'day on Sunday(10-15-06) at Goebbert's farm in South Barrington; fortunately we went there for 9:00 AM because by noon that place was packed. We left about 1:00 PM after the kids went on pony and camel rides, and saw the animal petting zoo ($25.00 if you want a picture with a tiger) and , of course, we toured the whole place. Afterwards we went to the International House of Pancakes on Barrington Rd; same place that we went after Christopher's wedding where Bruno was shouting constantly "immigration" (I guess to scare off the Hispanic workers). Attached is Hallie's latest picture (taken with my phone camera). We celebrated Hallie's, Carly's and Kylee's B'days with a party at Chris' house earlier on Sept. 16th.

Other than that, nothing else is new. Everyone is healthy, Hallie started pre-school, Carly is also going to pre-pre-school. I'm still working and Mary is also still working (homemaker - it's still work, babysitting, cooking, cleaning, etc). Our dog Princess died 3 weeks ago, she died at home in her sleep; she was over 18 years old. Lisa took it hard - it was her dog (cared by parents as it usually is). I guess having the animal for over 18 years one kind of becomes attached to it.

Glad to read (in the bloggers) that Stefan is doing well even though his platelet count is kind of low (you think that maybe some more vodka may help?).

Love and kisses to all (including the extended family)
from Mary and Rich.

Happy Birthday Genia

Sto Lat...... Happy Birthday, have a great weekend in Colorado. Wishing you many more healthy years.

10 Years Ago today at Benihana's

Ten years ago today, I/we were told about our grandchild that we would have, come May. Dinner was at BeniHana's. It would become to be our Ela, our oldest granddaughter. Today she is already 9 1/2 years old. If only I would have known then what we know NOW, how much fun and enjoyment we have had with ALL our grandchildren, I would have told my kids to have kids sooner. (Ha ha) only kidding. Glad it turned out the way it did. Like the saying , "There is a time for everything in this world if only you give it a chance". (Anonamous)

Apple Picking PHOTOS

Let's see if we have enough already, Babcia.
Hey I know how to work this apple picker stick now.
You got to try one before picking anymore, right?
This apple is big enough for two to take a bite out of Babcia.




P.S. We went to Harvard Ill, Royal Oak Farm. It was 60 miles from my house. Not a really good place to go. Apples were wormy and not a lot to pick. But Julia had never gone apple picking and she wanted to climb a tree. We also picked rasberries, the few that we could find also. Weather was perfect for picking, not too hot or too cold. We had a great Columbus Day. All in all we had a fun and long day the four of us.

Happy 35th Anniversary.... Stas & Joyce 10-09-06

Hoping that your year is terrific. STO LAT. Many more years together are wished for you both.

What a great weekend we are having-UPDATED & PHOTOS

Suzia & Koy have left to go to Upper Michigan from Friday till Monday pm. Guess where the grandkids are? Of course staying with Babcia & Dziadzia. We love it.
Saturday we went to Ela's Soccer game. They won 3-0. Lunch was at IHOP. We went to visit Sonny Acres the Pumpkin Patch/Spooky Barn. Then on to visit the Klein Farm in DuPage County.
Sunday was spent raking some leaves and then jumping on those piles. Got hungry went to Caesarland (Lil Caesar/s Pizza) with PraBabacia Hela in tow. On Sunday Stefan and Steve tried to finish up the garage roof that they started last weekend with Koy & Suziaand Steve. Weather was tooooo nice to stay home, so Stefan went Motorcycling with Andy Bury.
Daniella went to church service with Ela, Julia & Stevie, they had practice for an upcoming skit in their church.
On tap for Monday (No school Columbus Day) is the Apple Orchards to get some apples. Pictures to follow, when downloaded if and when we get home.
