Fall Finale

Fall is coming to an end here.  There are still leaves hanging, but most are on the ground.  I hope you aren't sick of Fall pictures. I've so enjoyed being out in the beauty this season.

We have a lot of trees, so our yard is filled with leaves.  Poor Bob keeps blowing and shredding them, and when he turns around, the grass is covered again!

Here he is on Saturday, this is his 6th time of blowing and I'm afraid it's not the last.

A day with Connor

Last week our son-in-law, Andrew, had surgery, so Bob and I were on grandparent duty.

Heather and Andrew were heading to the hospital around 8:30 so we got there in time to bring Cassie to school.  

We spent a little time on the playground while waiting for the school to be opened.  Then we sent Cassie off for a day of school and left to take Connor home.

We stopped at a donut shop on the way home and all enjoyed that treat!

Connor has always been a Mama's boy, and likes to have her near him. We weren't sure how a whole day without her would go. But - he did great!  Not a single tear and he didn't even ask for her. We had fun playing together.

He is so funny.  Here he was being "super Bubby", and was running around the kitchen saying "zoom, zoom".  Heather says she has no idea where this came from, he just started this a few days ago. It sure made us laugh.

Connor was having such fun, but he wasn't at all interested in taking his usual afternoon nap. 

When we went to pick up Cassie from school, he was asleep in no time.

In the meantime, Andrew's surgery went well and he was back in his room. He was doing ok, a little painful and very sleepy. At that point, Heather came back home.

We went for supper which was enjoyed by all.  Heather and the kids headed home, hoping to have an early night and a good night of sleep before heading back to the hospital the next day.  Andrew is expected to be in the hospital for a few more days, possibly coming home on Monday.  Prayers for healing are appreciated!
