fall, this and that


Mychael's nana made him a "Matrix" jacket, it is really impressive!



Jordan cracked me up one day last week doing her school work with a monster claw...



Playing in the leaves with cousins...



We celebrated Thanksgiving a month early with Jon's extended family, the cousins were all happy to see each other. Now that a lot of them have started school we don't see them as much.



We went to the "church of the creation," aka Hanging Rock, a couple of Sundays ago with some friends, 9 children in all, and hiked over 3 miles!



And this weekend we celebrated with Jon's sister, Meagan, who turns 30 in a couple of days. Their backyard was lit up with Christmas lights hanging overhead, some of which hung down into clear vases creating a lovely atmosphere for eating, drinking, and visiting with old friends. There was a bonfire, the biggest marshmallows you've ever seen, tons of food, beer, margaritas, a pinata, kids, old people, young people, friends and strangers...very cool.

37

Another birthday haiku:

I'm thirty-seven
A bit closer to the end
My life is heaven
