North Shore Beach & Trail

Hi Everyone,
I took the kids to the beach on Sunday. The sand has really piled up against the fences already.

I talked them into taking a short hike.

It was a beautiful day to be outside & enjoying nature together.

Happy Thanksgiving to all,
Love Sam, Allison & Randy

Halloween in Iowa

We just returned home from trick or treating.  Our little princess was a very good little goblin.  She had fun and came home with a very full pail of goodies.  Here are a couple of pictures of her in her Princess Tiana dress.  Hope all of the candy doesn't turn her into a frog!

I also attached a couple of puppy pictures...they are all grown up now.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

"First things first. Hmmmmmm, let's see, so many pumpkins, so little time!"

"Always time enough to play with the nice doggie, though."

"Hey Pop, hows about dis one?"

"Okay, on to GGJ's now for that Trick or Treat thing you guys been tellin me about, whatever that is...."

"Hmmmmm, interesting concept. Dress up goofy and get...

GOBS...

"Yummo!"

"Look, I found another punkin'"

"Whaddaya think? Have we got a racket here or what???"

"Oh well, time to go. See ya next year, Cutie!"

Happy Birthday Alexander!!

How does it feel to be the newest 7-year old in the family, big guy?  We wish you a very special and happy day and look forward to having a birthday dinner with you tonight.  Your word for the day is Tepanyaki!

Looks Like Fall has Arrived

We arrived home about 10 PM last night from London.  Actually were in Battle Creek shortly after 9:00, but stopped for a bite to eat before coming home.  This is the view off the back porch this morning:

So, it appears that Fall has arrived.  Sorry to see summer pass us by, but the Indian Summer is feeling pretty good, especially after leaving temps in the 50s in England.

Have a great week!

Love to all,

Charlie
