Well,
Kyle called last night not to excited about the decision to move to PA... sounds as if the job is not quite what he expected. I told him to hang in there I think he is just home sick! But Beckham and I will be up there soon enough for a visit. As far as the house goes... we are still having lookers but no contract yet... one guy is still very interested but he is checking numbers to see if it is in his budget and another family are deciding on our house and one other (I'm sure they will pick the other house). But in the mean time we are still planning another open house for this weekend. I waxed the floors the other night and they look great so maybe that will help the house sell... that is if Kyle still wants to stay in PA!! Anyway going to watch the office. Good night. Love K

Election day 2008!
It's a big day her in the USA... McCain vs. Obama. We will find out tonight who will be our next Pres. I still have not voted but the plan is to do that sometime today!
So, it has been a long week and weekend. It was Kyle's last week in Memphis. He left on Sunday which was sad to see daddy go but exciting for us to find out more of where our adventure will take us!! Even Kyle's dad cried when he dropped him off at the airport so you know it was a sad day. Beckham does not get that daddy has left but every night so far we have called him to say "night night".
Halloween was fun. Kyle and I went to Beckham's school for the "Fall festival" where he played with his friends and was Frankenstein. Then came home and we carved a pumpkin and then went trick or treating down the street in his Dragon costume. He looked so cute toddling down the street in that costume. He started a new classroom on Monday which I think has been harder on me than on him. On Monday morning brought his milk the way I always do and the teacher told me there was no fridge so I started to cry (not sure it was over the fridge or just stress). Anyway all that is worked out now!
The HOUSE... well it seems to be positive then we hear nothing. We have had 3 people come back twice but still nothing. We have another showing at 7 pm on Wed so there is still some hope! Now that everyone knows that this is happening it just makes me want it to happen sooner and go on and start our life up in PA!! Hopefully it will sell soon! I will keep you posted.
I will post some pictures tonight of Halloween. Have a good day!

It's official! The Alexanders are moving to PA!
Hi everyone,
We got the news, Kyle is moving up to PA on November 2nd with a ONE WAY ticket to PIT. It's going to be really COLD. But, I guess that's what clothes are for! I still have not told my work so AMY please don't say anything yet!! Things have been really busy this week trying to figure out all our plans and everything! We put the house on the market on Tuesday and we have our first open house on Sunday! So hopefully it will sell fast! Ha Ha
Beckham is doing well, he hid from me this morning when I wanted to change his poopy diaper. I found him in our bedroom underneath his round saucer toy. It was really funny! He is moving up to the next classroom. I hope he does well with the move because that will be several big changes for him with daddy being gone and a new room at school.
Anyway just wanted to let everyone know the latest! Love K

Hurricanes, Babies, and PA!!! Oh MY...
Hey
For my avid blog readers I really do apologize that I have not updated in so long!!! Things have been quite busy with the Alexander family. Let's start with Hurricane Gustova Came though Memphis bringing my dad, cindy, suzanne, jeff, callie, john, alli, cada, 3 extra dogs, 1 cat, + the group that stayed down the street. It was fun to see everyone, a little exhausting but FUN. Suzanne announced she was pregnant again!! And the same weekend we found out Little Paul and Ana are expecting as well. And Dad and Cindy got engaged...WOW
2nd Hurricane IKE... we have the trip all planned to go to Mexico, we are all packed, and spray tanned and all when Huston gets ROCKED by IKE and we can't fly into Huston to go to Cozumel... so, we got on orbitz and booked a trip to Cancun.... and dad and cindy went with us. We got do some diving and beckham got to play in the sand... I will post some pictures!!!
While we where in Cancun LP tracked us down and said that PA was interested in offering Kyle a position "Water Management Supervisor".... more on that later
So we had a great trip...
Then the next week I left my boys to go to Charleston for a work conference (it was really great conference on dietitans putting down feeding tubes) Anyway Beckham gave "Dadee" a run for his money! He got sick and had fever and poo poos! Poor baby... so mom rushed home to help :)
So the past few weeks we have been dealing with some sickness but he is much improved today! Poo Poos, ear infection, snotty nose, etc. He is talking and running... and repeating words like crazy!
So for any of you that read this your ears may have perked up when I wrote about PA... well I know we have been talking about it for a long time but I think the time has come and the Alexander Kids are heading NORTH! (for those that do read and know about my job at St. Jude please do not say anything to anyone yet... there are a lot of details that still need to be worked out--- House being SOLD, and I don't want to get all the crazy RD's worked up around here). Kyle signed the JOB offer on Monday and took a drug test. It sounds as if he will be moving up there at the end of the month. Next week we are having the Realtor (kyle's aunt Jakie) put the house on the market !!! ??? *(&^*%&
Beckham and I will stay here and sell the house, they are going to pay for Kyle to come home to visit on the weekends, pay for me to go up twice for house hunting trips, and for at least 6 months of temporary housing in PA. It looks like we will live somewhere in Central PA near Penn State... or close to where I find a job. So I will let you all know more when I do!
Another very exciting news is I am going to be a AUNT!!! And Beckham will have a cousin! Kelly and Matt are expecting and due in June! Yea for them... we are going to name the baby IKE!
OK-- that's about it for now. Love to all! Katy

Happy Thursday!
Hi
Not too much exciting is going on with us but I thought I would post a few new pictures for you avid blog readers. Beckham is doing well. He can count to 3 in spanish!! The weather has been quite mild for August so we have not gotten much pool time this summer. The "nakedbaby" pictures are from this weekend where I had Beckham laughing as I was tickeling him!
Kyle is doing well. The store is still supposed to sell but we all know how that goes. Work has beem very busy for me, we have been down two RDs this week and I am training Ginny (she started monday)! Anyway... hope everyone is well. Love you Katy

Finally a new post!
Hi All,
It has been a long time since my last post so I do apologize to my 2 blog readers! Anyway, I have no clue were the past two months have gone but I do know that my little boy is growing up fast! He is running now and loves to swim. We can't keep him out of the pool. He has lots to say but we are not always sure what he is saying. Favorite words are "bye bird", dog, more, milk, daddy, mama, thank you (or something like that), duck, and he loves to make the sounds of the duck, monkey, dog, and cow (the dog is really cute he sticks his tongue out and pants). He even responds to the animal sounds when asked them in Spanish! He still has been sick off and on. No ear infections except once since the tubes but he did have bronchitis a few weeks ago and had to have breathing treatments :(.
June-- well we got this crazy idea that we might be moving to Pennsylvania so Kyle and I took a weekend and went up there for a visit. PA was nice (but it was also June) but does not look like the contract is going to work out as planned. So for now we are still in Memphis, TN ...
Also in June, one of my fellow dietitians and friend, Amy, announced she was leaving and moving to Nashville so we had to say bye to a great RD (and good friend). But, we did hire another good friend and great RD, Ginny! So, work has been a little crazy and my job is going to change some but it should be a good challenge!
July- 4th of July came and went... Beckham stayed at Paw Paw and GiGi's that night and the group went downtown to Jerry's to see fireworks it was fun but not quite the same as years past. It was kind of chilly and rainy so no pool time was had. Went to New Orleans in July and visited with Dad, Cindy, Segura's, and Kelly. It was fun but a long drive home :)! We found out on the drive down to New Orleans that the Lafferty family was going to have a Boy so congrats to them! Kelly came in town the next weekend. We celebrated moms birthday (July 26th) with a good lunch at pearl oyster house that Beckham slept in his stroller all the way through. Then hung out the rest of the weekend. Ruth (my old boss) last day was Friday so we are now without a full time boss. So, if anyone knows any good RD's out there to be the director of Clinical Nutrition at St. Jude please let me know. This weekend we went to Paw Paw and GiGi's to celebrate Paw Paw's 74th birthday!! We had BBQ and cake and I think Paw Paw was tired out when we left... oh yea Beckham found the one spot of dog poo in the yard and decided to fall in it!! :) Needless to say he got the hose.
As far as the liquor store is concerned we think it is sold! Well it is sold as long as the people pass though city and state. So, if any of you readers have a job lead for Kyle please let us know!
Ok I have go on long enough... to sum it up we are doing well... Beckham is a cutie! Oh yea and Madison is still a good dog (Beckham likes to pat her and says "good dog"!)
Love to all,
Katy
