Sam is the first to go to the doctor. He’s relaxing with his cube while waiting for his throat culture. I remember taking Sam to the doctor and laying him down on the exam table to get measured. Eight years have passed and my has he grown!

Pretty typical containment strategy for about three weeks.

Ben is the next to go to the doctor. Eagle came, too.

Walking my big babies home from the pumpkin patch. I really miss having my boys in the stroller. The big pumpkin is 65 lbs! That is how much weight I gained with Sam. That is funny.

Harvest Fair creation. Both boys were sick that week, and Sam was out of school so Ben made the creation that morning. It’s a patty pan squash from our garden.

Out on a jog down Sunrise I spotted this rose. Loved the grey wall behind it.

On a trail which is part of one running route. These mushrooms are very colorful.

More beautiful Japanese maple leaves in fall color.

A farm down near Manitou beach, also on a running route of mine. See the tractor in the background to the right?
