Red

Remember the green tomatoes? They are now RED. If you want some, give me a call...

Sweet Baby


Edible Bouquets and Pumpkin Pie

Elizabeth and Sam helped me with the pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. Don't you like how Sam has his hand out, telling Elizabeth to stay out of his way while he is stirring?

Kipp brought home an edible fruit bouquet from work. The kids were in awe of such a marvelous invention. They both climbed up to the table (note that Sam is ON the table so as to get as close as possible to the sweet goodness!) and ate fruit to their hearts' content. They thought they were in heaven!
A photo of Ethan smiling was a welcome surprise. That NEVER happens! Ha Ha, Ethan, caught you unawares!

My Superheroes? Watch out CK!



Yes, I live with them...
Just call me Lois?

Bumper Crop!



In spite of the the rainy weather this year, it has been a bumper crop. I think that is thanks to the few weeks of summer weather in September. We are now back to cold, so after a few nights of covering the tomatoes with sheets (and still having some of them freeze), Kipp picked the crop last weekend to save it from the snow.

Baby Abigail -- Angel Baby



Baby Abigail joined the family on September 4. We love her and treasure her sweet personality, her marvelous eating and sleeping habits, her cute faces, and everything she does in general. I have enjoyed spending time with her and also her wonderful siblings and parents over the past month. I will never ever get enough of holding a tiny newborn. I could just watch and hold her all day.



Catching Monsters


Kipp had the greatest idea last night. Sam and Elizabeth were over for the evening, so he put the headlamp on Elizabeth, and we all wandered the house in the dark for about 40 minutes, "looking for monsters" upstairs, downstairs, main floor, under the piano...Greatest game ever for a 3 year old. Sam thought it was great also -- as long as he had someone to hold his hand.

Apple Time!


Gram and Papa bought apples in BC. Sam figures these "Honey Crisp" apples are big enough to feed him for a WHOLE day!
