I hope everyone is having a great halloween. We have had a busy day. Both the big kids wore costumes at school and had halloween partys. We all (including aunt JJ) went to watch annabelle in the halloween parade...it was really cute. I stayed after to help with the party. It was fun...they decorated cupcakes...yummy. We are gearing up for trick or treating. Rick is taking the kids out to all the houses and Holly and I will be staying in and handing out the candy. I am making yummy tortellini soup and BLT's....yummy. I will post picks later!!

Grandma and Grandpa Short's visit




We had a very nice visit with Ricks parents Saturday. The kids loved seeing them both and it was obvious they were sooo excited to see the kids. Ricks dad is doing better every day. It is just so hard to see him the way he is now ...while remembering what he was like before. I know he can get back there...It just takes time. He is so lucky to have a loving and supportive wife like Pat. She is doing her very best and we all appreciate how hard she is working every day!!! She is the reason he is doing as well as he is!!

Holly is her big girl seat for the first time!



My sweet baby girl!!

Mommy and HP


Everyone's daily dose of Holly Paige!!

Abbies visit!



We had a lot of fun hanging out with Aunt Abbie. This was at Lake Chartwell right down the street from our house. We have had some beautiful days. The leaves are turning, and they are beautiful. Fall is a great time of year. The kids had lots of fun gathering rocks and seeing how far they could throw them into the lake. I wish Fall could last longer.

Abbies Halloween costume



This is part of Abbies Halloween costume. The kids loved it they thought it was so funny. It really did look real...so funny!!!!

lazy day!


Its a rainy wednesday! Rick got home from his parents today. He helped his mom with some yard work and other things that she needed done and hasnt had time to get to them. Rick was happy to see his dad. He said he is doing pretty good. He is moving around with his walker (and sometimes without..naughty) He is remembering a lot of things. Sometimes he gets confused..but he realizes it and starts to laugh..or he says he is just gonna stop talking about it....lol. Anyway, we hope he continues to get better every day. We all miss him terribly. He is such a great grandpa and the kids really love him.

We are having Avantis for dinner tonight...yummy. Tell Jack to not be jealous of my gondola!! ok..Holly P is crying..gotta go!!
