Livy Pics and Pumpkin Carving Edpisode 1

Well, this weekend we tried to do some relaxing because our next couple of weekends are getting busy. Saturday we played around, Tim came out watch MSU beat Michigan in the Big House and Penn State beat OSU in the Horseshoe. Bad day for home teams. Sunday while Emma and Mandy went to get supplies for pumpkin carving Livy and I clowned around and I snapped some shots of her. Then Mandy's folks came up and we carved a couple pumpkins with them. A fairly nice weekend. Birthdays are coming up for Alex (Nov. 5) and Emma (Nov. 15) who will be 2 and 6, respectively. Yikes. I'm really looking forward to the birthdays to forget about the everyday stuff and celebrate the lives of two of our kids. It will be welcome. Until next time.....

Baby Gweedo Palmer & Ryan/Barb Wedding

Well, for those of you that don't know, here is the first picture of our number 4. Mandy is pregnant with a due date for next June. Yikes! Apparently we need more hobbies. We are calling him Baby Gweedo for now. Congrats Barb & Ryan! Unfortunately I was only able to attend the rehearsal dinner Friday night as Olivia and I were at Sparrow Hospital at 6am Saturday finding out she had bronchitis. So her and I stayed home and missed the wedding and hung out with my mom and Alex. Mandy said the wedding was beautiful and the reception lots of fun. I'm sad I missed those of you who attended.

Uncle John's Cider Mill

Sunday we took our annual trip to Uncle John's Cider Mill. Unfortunately we got there and the rides were ending, but the kids still got to play around a little and more importantly we got our cider and donuts.

Fall & Boys Day

My brother and I took a day and went up near Houghton Lake to ride the atv's. We had a good time and enjoyed being outside on a beautiful day. Something about being outside on a wonderful fall day up north can make you forget some of the stress in your life. Thanks to Mandy for letting me get away for a day. The photo of the bridge ending in water is where I submerged my quad up to the headlights and thanks to Tim and my winch I didn't have to take a bath in it to get out. Close call. I also like our view out the front and back of our house, Fall is always a fun time.
