Which one?

I took these pictures at the Thurmont upholstery fabric shop. I just couldn't decide which. I needed Linden's input. Which one did we choose? You'll have to come and see!

Evan

Rhoda snapped this pic with her phone camera of Evan sunning himself one chilly morning

We are all there

We all tried to get in the picture with Aunt Rachel. Me, Andrea, Petra, Aunt Rhoda and Grandma. Rachel and Craig were out for a drive in the Galaxy.

Oct 11 was the first orchestra rehearsal. Both Grantley and Petra were very unenthusiastic about doing orchestra so I took them to Panara Bread as a little consolation for their inconvenience. Who should we find tucked in a nook but my three cousins: Beverly, Freda and Kathy. Beverly and Freda were both headed to orchestra too.

Oct 21 - 22 Linden's sister Beverly has such a generous heart! Not only did she give Petra and Linden a place to stay for the night but she also sent these homemade goodies home with them. Petra had a Soccer game early Saturday, morning near Beverly's house so Linden and Petra went a day early. Linden spent time in history libraries and Petra got time with cousins.

Jr Youth made pinatas for the annual harvest party. They all turned out way too strong! The little kids had a hard time breaking them!

Cordel Gardens - MMC home school crowd, Oct 6

This year we made it to Cordell gardens and made it before frost! I had some school materials for Wendy so we all met here for a picnic. Twila and her kids came too. What a wonderful setting and perfect fieldtrip home schoolers from Marion Mennonite Church! Buellah and Merle came out to visit. I love to watch Merle with his dog, Yeager.

Petra, Lauren, Katie, Abby, Jonathan, David.

PMI Banquet, October 6

Each year Mom goes to the PMI banquet and usually takes a grandchild or two with her. Each year she ends up wishing she had brought more people because each year the speaker is so good. So this year she started early. She paid for a whole table and Grantley agreed to help her fill it. The speaker was a well known comedian and Grantley got 5 friends to come along. I came after the meal with Shaliqua and got a kick out of seeing mom, a little white haired plain lady presiding over her table of energetic teenage boys! What a Hoot!
