Hello again…..time to update after more than a 2-week break....
Our big landscaping project is finished and looks great – looking forward to seeing the plants in bloom next spring/summer.
Liam and Connor had 4 days off last weekend for Columbus Day, so we picked them up from school in Daisy on Thursday, the 4th and spent thru Monday at Comlara Park – lots of folks camping and although it was chilly and rainy Friday, we had a ball biking, hiking, and staying inside cozy Daisy with games, books, movies, etc. Anne and Patrick met us last Sunday night at Green Gables for supper and then back to the campsite for s’mores!

Lots of prayers, concern and worry for my sister-in-law,
Linda these past few weeks as she has been in 2 hospitals and then to Mayo Clinic for another opinion regarding heart issues. She is home now and thankful for the doctors to advise her on a healthy lifestyle.
I was in Hermann, MO for 3 days this past week with Kathy and Claire. We had a ball with fabulous weather, spectacular fall scenery and lots of girl fun! Hermann is full of wineries, old brick buildings, many B and B’s and inns, restaurants and shops. Also, Hermann is a popular spot for weddings. It is on the Missouri River and just as charming as it can be! It’s definitely a “return” spot to visit.

And while I was gone, it was Grandparents Day (sorry to
miss that fun), but Grandpa went and had a great time visiting the boys classrooms,
sitting in on story time, working on the family tree, eating donuts, and shopping at the book fair.

Liam and Connor are both on hockey teams now – we enjoyed
watching Liam at his first game this weekend – those boys are quite the little
skaters.
Friday night we went to the CCHS Homecoming game and
accepted an award for Ryan who was named a “Distinguished Alumni”! And speaking of Ryan….our next travels
will take us to Pensacola, FL in 2 weeks for about 10 days with our Blue
Angel. We’ll help him settle into his
new home (Philip will be there for part of the time), attend the last 2 air
shows of the 2012 season and also the Change of Command on November 4th
when Ryan officially becomes a Blue Angel!
We went to Anne and Patrick's for dinner tonight - yummy bar-b-que chicken (recipe from Pinterest on Facebook). Played dominoes and Grandma was "Queen" and here's scary Grandma with the boys!
