Family Fix

I just got back from a great week with family.  I am saturated with blessings and hugs from everyone and am good for at least a couple months.   Nikolai who is soon 9 months is a heart stealer and has a smile for everyone...no matter the time of day.  Just a sweetheart.

A neighbor leases horses and so she stopped by and gave the kids a ride.  They were thrilled and both agreed that sitting atop one of these fine animals is a long way up.  

Pumpkin carving time was fun and both the kids drew their own designs for faces and then mom and grandma had the fun of cleaning out the innards as both kids thought it a bit gross.  

Halloween was a perfect night with a crescent moon and clear skies, although a bit brisk...but hey, we weren't slogging through 2 feet of snow either.

Additional visits were with Henni and Marlys and fun shopping.  It seems Grandmas don't qualify for the 3 day "fish" rule for visiting as even on day 5 the kids were still asking me if I had more sleepovers left...better than asking, "Grandma, are you STILL here?"
