A Fall Hike

Earlier this month, on a chilly fall morning, we headed to the woods. Tommy wanted to bring his bike and insisted on wearing his helmet in the car. We walked quickly but stopped often to collect acorns, look at leaves, admire mushrooms, and find the perfect stick. After our hike, Tommy felt like playing some music, so he serenaded Piper (formerly "Puppy") with a song on the mandolin.

Mimi and Pa's Visit

Back in September, Mimi and Pa came for a weekend visit. We had a ton of fun playing in the river, hanging the beautiful curtains that GG made for us, catching frogs, building a sandcastle in the sandbox, and taking pictures of Tommy sleeping in his tent. So glad we finally have room for people to stay with us!
