Beautiful Fall Day

It is awesome to finally have a beautiful fall day. Since the end of September it has been cold and rainy, it feels like winter started way early this year. Justin and Megan are thrilled that Mommy is finally letting them go outside to play for as long as they want today. I had a MOPS meeting this morning, which I always enjoy. It is my second year coordinating the group at our church. While I enjoy it all, it is much more relaxing at this point in the year now that the planning is completed and we can just sit back and enjoy the meetings. The kids are really looking forward to Halloween. Justin is going to dress up like Spiderman, Megan will be Cinderella and Kyle is going to be a Gorilla. I am sure I will get lots of photos to share with you. I discovered today that using Slide.com, I can update and add photos/scrapbook pages on the Slide.com website and it automatically updates my Blog page. Very handy feature, so I did move the Slide and enlarge it on the Blog page. Hopefully, you will be able to see the pictures better. I was studying my calendar this morning and realized that we will be coming to Iowa in 3 weeks and 2 days. It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is coming up so quickly. We leave for Iowa on Saturday, November 18th and plan to stay until the following Saturday, November 25th. I am hoping things work out and that Ryan, Lisa and Matthew will be able to join us at Mom and Dad's in Adel over Thanksgiving. We are anxious to make a personal aquaintance with our new nephew/cousin. (For those of you who don't know Ryan and Lisa had a baby boy on September 18th) Matthew's pictures are adorable, but there is nothing like snuggling with a little one.
