I love fall. It is the chill in the air, the smells, the sights of the gorgeous colors on the trees, and my favorite holiday . . . Halloween. The kids and I went and picked out our pumpkins for carving. Grayden was soaking everything in and tried with all his little might to help mommy lift the big pumpkins. He is growing up so fast. He points at everything, smiling and giggling all the time. What a pleasant baby. He is such a joy.

Kalyn had her follow up appointment with her surgeon on Tuesday. He is very pleased with the way she is healing, and she begins her physical therapy next Tuesday. She is out of the wheel chair and in soft splints on her wrists. She is anxious to start driving again, and believe me, so are we. I had forgotten what being a taxi was like.

Ashlyn is counting down the minutes to when she will be able to get her learners permit. She will be fifteen in just a few months, and can't wait to start learning to drive.

Both girls are doing well in school and seem to be enjoying their busy lives. As for Ryan, he is working alot of overtime and golfing in his sparetime. So far, everyone's healthy and happy. We are so blessed.
