This & That

Here's the only picture I have of Nathan this fall - you know what they say about the squeaky wheel. He's not very squeaky, but we love him.

The last of the roses. They bloomed again this fall, standing tall for us to enjoy!

The rose in the middle is standing still - just not always outside in that spot

Elise and Sarah played mini golf at Mactoberfest held at MacArthur Elementary School.
Elise lost by one stroke. She is not growing a beard here,
but she did have some major chapped lips going on.

Holy Hill in the fall

Lydia and I meandered around Holy Hill one Wednesday afternoon

in celebration of her birthday. What a beautiful time of year!

Dad, Jenna, Elise, and I spent some time enjoying the scenery

at Holy Hill one Sunday afternoon.

Yes, we climbed the steps to the top of the tower - a WINDY day.

Elise counted the correct number of stairs while climbing - I was one off.
