Handsome Andy!

I just wanted to share these cute pictures of my handsome Andy.  He is such a happy, bright boy.  He keeps us busy but gives us so much joy.  Today at the grocery store, Andy was riding in the cart and I asked him, "Who needs a kiss?" and he smiled and looked up and leaned his head towards me.  Then I gave him a kiss on his forehead.  Then he giggled and leaned his head forward again for another kiss and giggled again.  This went on for several minutes.  It was so cute.  

Andy had a little unexpected surgery last week for an infected sore on his back.  It was not a fun day, but he's getting better now.  I'm so grateful for modern medicine and for a happy, healthy Andy.  

I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving, I wish we could all be together.

Love,

Aubrey

 

Halloween 2014

We had lots of fun yesterday on Halloween.  

 Grace was an Egyptian Princess

 Joy was a pretty witch with pink hair

 Andy was a toddler who likes to climb and not hold still for pictures.

And sweet BethAnne was Glinda the good witch

 

Mark had fun this year dressing up with his team at work.  They were the characters of Monty Python.  Mark was the squire (in brown on the right).  He worked hard on his costume and I think he did a great job. 

He made his "backpack" frame from big sticks and then he used rope to strap a bunch of stuff to it, including things from D.I. and boxes that he painted.  He also used some bedding to make a bedroll to strap on the bottom.

 On Halloween.  Mark and his friends went galloping (Monty Python style) around downtown Boise.  They won the costume contest at work and had a good time all around.

 I worked hard this week putting together a small party for the girls and a few of their friends, and they had a great time overall.  Now, I'm looking forward to listening to Christmas music in earnest and getting ready for the Holidays.  In the next couple of months Lisa and I are going to try to raise some money for one of the Reece's Rainbow orphans.  I'll be posting more about that soon.  Happy November!

Love,

Aubrey
