Raking fools

We are raking fools this time of the year! With 40+ bags of leaves already raked up and many more to go - needless to say, raking isn't as much fun as it was the first time out - but we make it work! If you look at the third picture up close - you can see that Matthew hasn't lost his sense of humor, yet!

Picture day - Fall 2014

I took our handsome guy's pictures today! How to choose when we have such a photogenic guy? I love them all - they show his personality! Oops - I think I got one in there twice - sorry about that.

Indianapolis - October 2014

Mark had a conference in Indianapolis over the weekend. This gave Matthew and me a great opportunity to spend time "back home" in Indiana! We had a wonderful hotel room at the Omni downtown(where Matthew had fun taking pictures, too) - right across from Lucas Oil Stadium where the Colts play. We got to go to some of my favorite places in Indy. We met G'ma and G'pa H for lunch at Gray Brothers! Yummmm We also got to go to the Children's Museum, hang out with Aunt Janie for a day and go up to Purdue!! Matthew thought college sounded great after I told him that he might have days where he only had one or two classes. I encouraged Matthew to get used to napping on the couches in the Union - since I'm pretty sure that Mark spent time sleeping on them, too. He also got his first Dog-N-Suds meal. Mark had a good conference and we had safe travels. It was a lovely weekend.

Goofy

I wanted to get a nice picture of Matthew after church - this is as good as I got. Goofy kid!

Loomin' time

G'ma H bought Matthew a loom!! We had fun with our first pot holder - it was definitely a team effort!

G'ma & G'pa H were here!

We had a great time with G'ma and G'pa H!! We did lots of fun things - we went to Ann Arbor, an Amish community a couple of times, St. Vincent's and even a Fall Festival!! As you can see, Matthew greatly enjoyed the time, too! We're looking forward to the next visit :o)
