A Visit to Cincinnati



Today we went to the Down Syndrome Clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. We had originally planned to leave the kids with my mom, but she ended up having to work, so it turned into a family trip. The last time we were at the clinic, was in May, so we were looking forward to seeing what the specialists had to say about Emmaline. Dr. Patterson was amazed at how well Emmy was babbling and that she could sit up on her own. We thought she was doing great, but it is always good to hear the experts confirm it.
After the dr.'s appt., we went across the river and had pizza at Dewey's on the Newport Levee. Then, we went back into Cincy to see my sister, Katie, at her work. She works at Duke Energy and they have a large Christmas train display in the lobby of her building. The kids loved the trains, but I think they loved seeing their Aunt Katie the most. We even got to go across the street to have frostys at Wendy's compliments of her co-worker, Joyce. Yum!

Today was really long, but it was a fun day filled with several impromptu stops that made some great memories for our family.

Sounds fun! I just got a letter from my childhood neighbors (you know who, right?) and it said that Eric is working at that Dewey's pizza. (they live in cincy now). I wonder if he was there? You probably never would've recognized him, but that's kinda funny!
