Is it really the end of October???

Wow, time flies when you're having fun...or you are UNBELIEVABLY BUSY! I think it's a good combo for us!

It's been a month of fighting the inevitable cold bug - Ella and Molly have been hit the hardest - Rick is holding tough so far. Luckily, it seems we are past the worst of it and on the upswing - everyone is in better spirits - thank goodness!

We laid Grams to rest in Austin, MN on Oct. 25. Those events are always so bittersweet. On one hand, it's the end of an era, a generation; you realize things will change - the finality of a burial is just sad. However, we are celebrating a well-lived life...and it was so wonderful to see my Uncle Nathan and Aunt Siggie from Colorado, cousin Natalie from Phoenix, and Great Aunt Virginia from Byron, MN. We shared a wonderful conversation and meal - and created a new happy memory.

Ella is growing up so fast - sometimes she can be so mature saying things like, "sure, I'm ok with that"...but, she is still 3 & 3/4 and reminds us of that also ;-) Overall, she is just so funny these days - her expressions and the things she says keep us cracking up. She is very happy and joyful - it's so fun to watch her grow and become a little lady ;-) She is definitely one of the most favorite people in my life - just love that little bug so much!

Enjoy the slideshow! Happy Fall to all of you!
