October Overview

Thanksgiving dinner was not the only special day this month.
The sentiments were threaded throughout the other days as well.
We celebtrated Chris' 50th birthday with a dinner out as adults and
then they had us over to their home for his favorite dessert.
This was a pretty special!
Ah, the joys of having them near!

One beautiful weekend we watched Landon's soccer tournament.
It is fun to watch him grab that ball like he owns it.
He plays goalie position. 

We've also been to several of Lacey's volleyball games.
Watching her seriousness and joy in the game makes me smile. 
She loves sports. 

We celebrated Helmut and Dorice's engagement.
She is a lovely lady and I will be proud to call her my sister-in-law.


One Sunday the whole family was invited to Shaun and Kristal's for a Charcuterie/Faspa dinner.
They recently moved into a new home and so we also got a fun tour.  

We harvested the apples from our two young trees ... 
first the ones that fell and then finally decided to pick them all. 


The girls came over for a pie making morning. 

We made about a dozen pies and all of them went into their freezers. 

We celebtated Kristal's birthday with a lunch after we made pies.
This mom of four has worked hard this past year to get her real estate license.
She loves thrifting, decorating, and making a house a home.
She is now looking forward to enabling others sell and/or find their home.
We are so happy for her and wish her a successful career. 

♡♡♡

A wonderful overview of special family times, birthdays, apple pie, and accomplishments! So glad you can do life with everyone near now. I think that could be my favourite dessert too! How can you have a 50 year old son??

Haha! I wonder that myself, Rosella, even though he is our son-in-law! I guess it helps to know that, because I was 16 when he was born. Thank you for visiting once again. ❤️
