Halloween

This was the first year I took Alex trick-or-treating. Since Ty was out of town I went with a friend that lives down the road from us. Alex had a great time getting candy and Logan had fun riding in the stroller and watching the geese fly overhead. It was a beautiful night for walking around the neighborhood, a lot of our neighbors brought their fire pits out on their driveways and sat there handing out candy. Alex was a Notre Dame cheerleader and Logan ended up just wearing a festive shirt. You will see why in the pictures below.

I think she looks really good, maybe she'll be a cheerleader for them in 2023.

As much as Logan loves dogs, he didn't want to be one for Halloween.

So he wore a bat shirt instead.

There's a new Snaggletooth in town

For those of you who don't know, my nickname as a baby was Snaggletooth. This is because my first tooth was one of my top front teeth and it was the only one for awhile.

Well yesterday Logan had an accident. He is really starting to walk now and unfortunately missed the chair with his hands and got it with his mouth. He knocked out one of his front teeth...root and all. So I called the pediatrician on call and talked to a nurse at a dentist's office and basically he won't have a front tooth until he gets his adult teeth. We have to watch the other front tooth and make sure it doesn't change color and also watch for infection and swelling. He is doing just fine and is eating and playing and walking. Here is a picture of his new smile and the marks in the chair where his teeth hit...yes, that's how hard he hit the chair.

An Unexpected Harvest and More...

It's been a long time since we have posted to our blog.  So there are several different pictures of life events starting with the most recent.  Let me explain the title a little...we didn't see any blossoms on our trees this spring, nor any honeybees.  But low and behold in July we saw apples and pears on two of our trees.  We recently harvested our fruit, Logan loves the apples and we have yet to try the pears, they are still a little green.  But we thought we should pick them since it's been getting rather cold at night (much to the kitties dismay).  The cats have had a good hunting season as well.  They became outdoor cats when we moved here and have since killed 3 birds, 2 ground squirrels and 6 small moles.  We were surprised since they have been indoor cats since the fall of 2003.

This is a picture of the largest pear from our tree compared to what I think is a normal sized pear:

These next few pictures are some weather related pictures we have taken.  The first one is of a storm that came through in July.  It was so odd to see the bands in the clouds.  The storm proceeded to dump lots of rain and lightning and thunder on us.  The next is of the fog that started to rise off the fields this fall, it was pretty cool.  The "thing" you see in the backgound is a lovely water tower they were building in our view.  It's now finished and stands there in it's bright blue glory (growls under her breath).

We recently buzzed Logan's hair and he looks so cute...  Some additional summer pics are included as well...

Look at that Farmer's Tan!!!!
