Fall Leaves

Lauren has been impatiently waiting for the leaves to fall. We finally have enough on the ground to rake together into a pile. She is ecstatic! Todd and I are not - raking leaves is not one of our favorite activities!

Pumpkin Patch

The in-laws came for a visit today and we thought that we would do something different. We had found a new pumpkin patch/cider mill about 15 minutes from our house that looked interesting. We thought that we would give it a try. Wow! I don't know that words can describe the place - they were supposed to have their very own "field of dreams" that looked more like an overgrown nightmare. Anyway, we still enjoyed the company and took a few pictures. I guess we'll continue to look for family entertainment elsewhere.

Our Little Mommy

Lauren has been a big help with Andrew. She has even been helping feed and change him lately. She is so cute to watch with her dolls - she treats them just like she does Andrew. She has been putting them for naps, playing peek a boo and even breastfeeding her babies! What a great helper!

The Champions

Todd just finished a two day Softball Tournament and his team won the Championship! Good game!

Bear Attack

Andrew was attacked by a stuffed grizzly bear yesterday - with just a little help from Lauren. She would set it on his tummy and he would laugh and laugh. I don't know which one had more fun with the grizzly - Lauren or Andrew!

My Dad's Proudest Moment

My Grandpa Brasher purchased a John Deere D tractor but never got to restore it. After he died, my father inherited it and set forth to put it back together again. I've never seen my father so proud as when he witnessed his sons taking turns driving his father's tractor. His smile was ear to ear. And so was my grandfather's.
