Happy Thanksgiving

When I was little, I remember my mom always saying that Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday, and I just couldn't fathom that concept. A holiday without presents, candy, costumes, fireworks???? Well now that I am a little, er, older, I totally understand. What could be better than a day dedicated to giving thanks and eating well? Not much.

Gus took this photo of Lucy and me

...and he took this one. Kid view is about belt height. Grownups drinking wine and discussing grownup things.

Leaf Time 2009

We had a ball today playing in the leaves. Then it was time to clean them up and the wind kicked up and it was quite the chore....

Here are some "now and then" pics of Gus.

Too much candy, perhaps?

What a fun Halloween this year. Our friends came up from Omak and the kids went trick or treating all over town. Lucy didn't go, but she loved handing out candy and sampling a few pieces. Gus was thrilled to have Jake and Kaycee spend the night, and play here the next day too.
