The Past Couple of Weeks

   Two weekends ago I took a small break from the family and flew down to Utah to attend my friend Nicole's wedding.  Unfortunately it was just an overnight stay, but I was still able to see my brother Phil and his family.  I came home and we all got sick.  

   We are now just getting back to normal, but we sucked it up Saturday to go to the pumpkin patch.  Luke didn't seem that impressed with his first Halloween related outing, but the girls had a blast playing on the bouncy slides they had there.  Avery could hardly contain her incredulity that back when Daryl and I were kids there were just pumpkins at the pumpkin patch.  Sunday Christie and Ben came over with baby Zander.  Avery was all over Zander like an octopus.  She left a hickey on his forehead from all of her kisses.

Harper fell asleep on the couch one day while recovering from being sick.

A random cat picture.  You might think Sisko wants you to pet his beautiful, soft cat belly.  It was really a trap for a human hand that really did know better than that.

Luke and Daryl at the pumpkin patch.

Emery didn't want to be in the picture, but I sure showed her.

This is the best picture of Zander and Luke laying side by side.  Zander is seven months younger than Luke, but not that much shorter.

Zander's super cute smile while Luke is busy escaping.
