Snapping pictures

This is a spot that Michael and I love to go to.  In this spot four years ago just about this same time of year when these pictures were taken Michael proposed to me. We love coming up and seeing all of the fall colors, the streams, bridges, and lake!

Visiting Grandma and Gordon

It is always a treat when we can see both Grandma and Gordon.  We have been able to see them a number of times now that we are living in the same state!  On this particular day we got to see where they lived and then we took them out to eat.  It was the first time that we ever let Alden order something for himself, he was excited to get to pick something out just for him.

Fall Colors

 Michael has Thursdays off, so he stays home with Calvin.  Alden still comes to school with me, because it is a pre-school day.  So last Thursday he picked us up from school and took us to see the leaves.
Alden was soooo excited.  Everyday at the end of school, all of the kids have to sit and wait until their name is called so that they can leave. Alden never gets called because I'm there, I sometimes pretend to call him and let him go to another room, he always wants to be called. On Thursday I called him, he didn't pay attention at first but then I said how Dad was there to pick him up.  He got so excited started gathering his stuff and going around telling everyone how his name had been called and that he got to go!!  It was really cute to see how excited he was.
