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.
