2nd annual pottery painting!

We went back to Potter's Alley again this year and had a lot of fun! I got a little too involved in my projects to remember to take any photos! I can't wait to see how everything turns out!

Catching up...

Saturday we had some great company - Chad came for a visit!! We love guests! After some lunch, we checked out Oliver Winery. This next photo is when we were leaving, with the full moon coming up. It was a really pretty afternoon to sit outside under the heater and enjoy my new favorite wine!

All ready for Christmas!

It's hard for Chad and Craig to take a good picture together without acting goofy

I met Mom and Mike at McCormick Creek State Park while they were camping there a couple weeks ago. They happen to pick the perfect three days in November to go camping. We followed Mike around on some trails for a couple hours and had a great lunch at the camper.

Every great hiker needs a little rest!

The ground was completely covered in leaves!

Before

The picture doesn't really do it justice, but we have rearranged our bedroom! Last winter I felt like my head was going to freeze off during the middle of the night because our bed was against the poorly insultated windows. I kept telling Craig I was going to go out and buy curtains...but never did. So this year, I decided we will just move the bed to a different wall! So in the end, no money spent and it feels like the bedroom is brighter and bigger!

After

Thomas

Almost a month ago, we had a wonderful get-together with some high school friends. We got to spend some time with 5 month old Thomas!

Craig is holding Thomas in this picture - definitely checking him out!

Thomas looks almost as big as Eliza in this picture! David and Eliza made a great meal and it was so nice to catch up with everybody!

Bruce's Baptism

Sweet, sleepy Bruce!

Last weekend, baby Bruce was baptized! Brandi (on the left in the black sweater) and Casey (on the right holding Bruce) were proud parents! It was neat to witness the ceremony.
