Doing the Puyallup....

Doing the Puyallup in September is totally different than Doing the Puyallup in November. While I love the September version, I really, really love doing it in November because it meant being with family!!

Good times, great memories, wonderful family. Life is great!

California visit part 2......

And this was just in time for Halloween! Brushing doesn't take as long when there aren't so many toothies!

These are English Walnuts! They are HUGE!!!! Callen's grandma grows them in her yard. The meat of the walnuts makes 3-4 of regular walnuts! Fun!

Another self portrait by Melissa! So cute!
Love the freckles!

Melissa had full control of my camera on this trip and took some amazing photos. Here's a self-portrait.

Hard to believe that this handsome young man will soon be 21 years old. He is our first grandchild - how the time flies!
