We're about due for one of these, it's been quite a while now. :) Here is the view in our yard.  Two mornings ago almost all the leaves on this tree fell as the morning sun came up, it was beautiful. The very still creek.  The leafs are just sitting there, not rush at all. Two of the most beautiful people I've ever known.  I am blessed that they call me Mom. I was trying to snap a picture of Aiden behind Joey, but Joey was not going to have any of that nonsense. Another blue eyed babe!  This one has a little red scruff.  He's watching Michael work to learn to shuffle cards. My Handsome Michael!  Daddy took this one.  He's only barely 2 inches shorter than me now. …

In High School, when I first moved I made some new and very fun friends.  One of them was a foreign exchange student from Denmark.  She makes a point of coming to visit every once in a while.  I'm so glad for good old friends and staying in touch!  Her hubby wasn't able to make it this year, but her sweet little girl was here, this was my first chance to meet her. what a beautiful pair!  I don't think her little one much liked Kevin snapping pictures of her though! What a beautiful tiny doll, don't you think?  She enjoyed the Crayons. Both of us with all of our children.

It's only a week late!  Our Halloween was nice, I spent the weekend before absolutely sick with a cold, on Monday I was OK, Tuesday I was better, and by Wednesday I was almost myself.  The world waits for no Mom. Wednesday night we pulled out the costume trunk, my costume make-up, and FINALLY decided upon what to dress as.  Joey picked a dinosaur shirt and tail, Aiden an alien robe, and Michael a black cloak. The next morning I scrambled to put the make-up on the way they desired.  After a quick search on Pinterest Joey and I picked a big toothy dinosaur grin.  Easy enough.  I had one last, nice, smooth, long lasting, black eyeliner.  I started with Joey and by the last line or two it needed…
