Just keep going

Hello, I have heard from a lot of you that I should be putting more on the blog.  Trust me, it comes to mind often.  There hasn't been a lot going on in the world according to Meaghan.  We've settled down a little with the start of school.  That is going very well.  I go on and on with everyone about how wonderful the school is for us.  I couldn't be any happier.  Meaghan and Jonathan too. 

Today, Meaghan dressed up for a Princess Party at her friends house.  She just loves to pretend she's a princess.  

Before the party, I was in Baltimore for the Johns Hopkins CF Center Family Day.  It is a yearly event for parents and caregivers of people living with cystic fibrosis.  There is a lot of progress being made in finding the right drug or combination of drugs to treat the root defect of CF.  There are many reasons for patients and families to celebrate.  That was today's theme.  It seems so appropriate for our family, we have been finding little ways to celebrate each day.  We try to make each day "The best day ever!"

The five of us visited a farm in PA on Friday.  It was awesome!  It was called Maize Quest.  We successfully navigated our way through the extensive corn maze in about 40 minutes.  There was some complaining along the way, mostly by Jonathan, but the pride and joy we felt when we saw the exit and knew we did it on our own made it all worth it.  We took a short break for lunch and to recharge before we took on the task of completing the other 25+ attractions at the park.  A lot of effort went into everything they had to offer.  Jimmy found the pedal cars and he rode those most of the day.  Meaghan loved the giant slide and bamboo maze.  Jonathan loved to climb on all the huge old tires.  We even played a life sized version of Candyland together.  There was something for everyone.  When our legs just couldn't carry us another step we visited the market for a snack for the ride home.  It was almost the quietest car trip.  No one was asking for anything and the annoying sound of electronic games was non-existent.  The three kids munched hungrily on farm fresh apples!  Maze Quest is a fall must for families willing to make the trip a little west of Stewartstown.  My kids are already asking ,"When can we go back?"   Enjoy the rest of the pictures.  I think you'll especially love Jonathan ;)

  

Meaghan is being pulled by a tractor, Jimmy has to do all the leg work

Now I have to catch her before she lands in the puddle
