If anyone is reading, sorry for not posting lately. Allison has been out of town a lot promoting her new book and I have been home as Mr. Mom. Please don't misunderstand me, I love the kids. It is just that my schedule lately has left little time for posting to this blog. Although Allison has been away a lot, she made special time for Mother's day and Fallon's (our middle child) birthday. Fallon turned 9 this year and we had her class over our house for a party. The highlight was a balloon bender who orchestrated a play with the kids. The fantastic part is that all of the costumes were made of balloons. It was quite increadible. Allison was cast as a dragon, who at first seemed a little intimidating, then we come to find out that she is a mom. Allison was a great sport, and I have included a picture of her in her costume. I have also included a photo from Allison's tour. This is one of the events I was able to attend. It was a book signing held in Mesa Arizona. Over 900 people showed up. Everyone was very nice, they were even gracious enough to ask for my autograph. Allison is happy to conduct these events, but my concern is how tiring it is for her. I will be sure to confine her to Rest and Relaxation after the tour (no exceptions) Joe
