NPR's Family Matters

On Tuesday we went to NPR's "Family Matters: Your Financial Lifetime." Here's a link to a news story about the panel.

The most important thing we learned is that the Social Security Administration no longer provides statements in the mail. To receive a statement you must register online. 

Grant's Farm

This week we went to Grant's Farm with Luke's sister A and her son, little A.

We all have birthdays in October.

Grant's Farm is a zoo/petting zoo/nature reserve/animal farm. The best animals were the guinea pigs, which I have never seen on display outside of a pet store or someone's home.

Second best were the bald eagles. 

Little A is learning how to grab things and then put them back. He borrowed Luke's hat for a little bit.

Flamingos!

Benton Park Bobby and a Benefit

This past weekend we attended a benefit concert for Down Syndrome Association of Greater St. Louis at Off Broadway. Luke's colleague Bobby played some excellent hand drums in the opening act.

Gizmo stayed at home on the couch.
