Visit with family

We have been having a awesome time with my parents, grandma Bev and the Smiths!  Our early thanksgiving dinner was awesome, and we survived our first severe storm and tornado watch/warning. It was pretty crazy to hear the tornado sirens go off for a real "take cover" (because of the very serious potential for tornadoes to develop). We hung out in the basement for about 30 mins while the storm system rolled through. 

Trick or Treat!

Carving Pumpkins

It was a strange first Halloween in Indiana with a big storm rolling in and postponing trick or treat until Nov 1st. But we had friends over on the 31st and enjoyed the "extended" holiday. Here are some pumpkin carving pictures. Katya was a big help this year getting them all cleaned out. The bonus to kids getting older. More Halloween pictures to come!

The office space

Our downstairs office is starting to come together. It will be sometime before its painted and totally decorated. But the girls use the crap out of this space. I love that! 

Katya's poem

The afore mentioned poem. Translation below.

The Key Is The Love

My secret is the love

Yours might be different

But you have to love, It's

Hard but you do so try

So you can be the best

Then at the start I have to

Teach you so it's the key to

Love, and you and me

Will love. The End

MRI and the flu

That has been our week. R's MRI on Tuesday went smooth. K and I have been battling the flu all week. Reagan has it now, I am guessing E will get it next:-(
