Catching Up (Again)

Where the heck did October go???? We've had a busy month and November doesn't look to be any slower. Here's some shots of our recent activities. Stay tuned in another few days when I will have to post another "catch-up post." Right now I'm off to watch Ironman with Doug, which is the closest thing to a night out that I can hope for at the moment!

Huddy on a tractor ride at Family Fun Day at Ellie's school. I love the little spray of freckles across his nose. That alone probably saves him on the days he is being a complete menace.

Ellie and "the boys" from next door: Bryan, Erik and Jack

Nielson doing the tried and true "Frankenstein Walk"

Ellie hanging out...or in

That's a long way up....

but the ride down is worth it!

Ellie and Huddy with a wonder horse. I just wonder what they're good for!

Note the TWO leashes on the llama.

Nielson's reaction after meeting the llama!

Doug's old friends from college, The Nobles, came for a visit. They kept us up way too late , but we enjoyed having them here and catching up.

Yes, that's my son trying to smack poor Griffin Noble. The ironic thing is that's actually Huddy's way of saying he likes you. And no, Ellie doesn't usually dress like a cowgirl Bratz doll (which are not allowed anywhere near our house, by the way!) ...she did in fact have riding lessons that day, and those are her riding jeans!

Ellie at the Farmer's Market in Irvington. She is growing up so fast...is she really only five?
