Tour of Missouri-Stage 5-St. Charles, MO-9/15/07

 

 

 

What a fun day waiting for the riders to arrive in St. Charles. Rawson enjoyed walking up and down the railroad tracks there by the river where the race was to end. We left Rebekah back at Grandma and Grandpa's to nap. It seemed weird being there with just 2 kids. I kept looking around for someone. Had a great time with our friends, Mat & Angie, from KC also and their 2 kids, Quincy & Hazel. Of course---there's Alberto Contador (had to catch a picture of his beautiful face). For those of you who don't follow cycling, he's the winner of the Tour de France this year.

Tour of Missouri-Stage 1-Country Club Plaza 9/11/07

 

 

 

Pretty cool being able to catch the end of the 1st stage of the Inaugural Tour of Missouri on the Country Club Plaza. We spent over 3 hours hanging out in the VIP tent eating and drinking and then watched the riders do 3 loops back through the Plaza after going up around the Meyer Circle Fountain. It was a beautiful warm day and much fun was had by all!

1st Day of School 2007

 

Here are the Jenks kids all ready for their first day of school. Boy, does it remind me of a picture of Carol, Sarah, and me standing in the driveway at 9 Fairway Drive on the first day of school, probably on the way to the bus stop.

Rebekah's growing up

 

 

It seems like just yesterday that Rebekah was the baby that I was feeding...

Victoria's trip to the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum-8/30/07

 

 

 

Cate and Victoria enjoyed some special time at the Art Museum on a Thursday evening catching a performance/lecture in conjunction with the KC Ballet. Then we browsed the old building, had some cookies at Rozelle Court Restaurant (mom's favorite restaurant spot), then browsed the new Bloch Building and admired all of the really cool details...including the outdoor sculpture called 1 Sun/34 Moons (the sun is the sculpture in the center and the moons act as both lit circles in the water at dark and skylights to the garage below during the day).

Rawson's goofy sleep habits

 

Can you believe the positions in which kids can fall asleep?

Fun in the fountains-8/17/07

 

 

 

 

While Brendon was out of town racing, Cate and the kids enjoyed the huge water fountains at Crown Center on a Friday evening. It's so fun to be able to finally watch all 3 kids play on their own together!
