Goodbye October

I love fall and I love October, but I am now ready for November and Thanksgiving and even some Christmas planning. Bethany and I spent an hour on the porch this evening planning things we want to do in November and December - many of which probably won't even happen, but it was fun to plan. 

I think Piper almost always has a smile on her face. 

Pumpkin Carving

Sunday we had our annual pumpkin carving. Actually, we did not have friends or most of our family over as it rained all morning and I canceled the carving. Too messy. The kids were really disappointed and as it got later and later in the day our deck dried off and the sun came out and we decided to just do it anyway. So, we did. It was nice, but so much smaller than usual. The kids had fun and even though our friends and most of our family didn't come.  I'm glad we went ahead with it.  I'm ready to move into November now. 

Benefit Concert - Michael

Here is another clip from the benefit concert Michael did for Joey. This time I have a clip of Michael playing. It took us awhile to get everything off the camera and I only recorded some of the concert. But, I always like to post a few clips of Michael playing. This was the 4th concert he played for Joey and I am so proud of his dedication to do this every fall to help his brother and thankful for our church family.
