Blackcat and Puppy and other stuff...

Every now and again we take a picture of our furry "kids"

They have a nest type apparatus in the upstairs bathroom.
Courtney threw her sweater coat on it but that didn't keep them from snuggling up together.
Peanutbutter doesn't look too comfy but Ninja is fine.

One of our maple trees is diseased. Logan and Harlan worked at getting all of the dead branches cut out.

It's still a favorite perch for Courtney and Nicole.

Harlan and one of "Grampa's little man"s.

Har didn't realize I was photographing both him and Rowan so he is kind of leaning out of the picture or trying to.

The end of the month is that holiday that isn't my favorite but it's fun to dress up and have candy so....

We were looking at stuff for costumage. Rowan wanted Cam to put on the hat.

Then he tried it.

But....

Alyssa said that Rowan is into a certain snuggle puppy book recently so when we found this costume and tried it on over his clothes, he fell in love with it.
We even put him up on the counter to scan the price tag so he wouldn't have to take it off.

He spent a good deal of that day being a puppy.

FALL leaves....

Fall has so many rich textures and colors and odors.
It is quite the showoff of seasons but very beautiful.
Here is what it looks like at the mall just outside of the Sears entrance.
The planners of that area of the Lloyd District did a great job in choosing trees and bushes!

And last but not least

Logan and Alyssa found out that they are going to welcome a daughter in the spring.
Lyssa and I went shopping for some fabric yesterday so I made a small quilt and will make a matching sheet for the Moses basket for our new little miss.
I am looking forward to more planning and shopping in the months ahead.
