leaves and pumpkins and all things fall


Last Saturday Matt and Isaac and the grandfathers had tickets to the UND football game.  On the way to the game Isaac invested in a little screen printing.  Best money he's spent in a long time :) 


Pretty fun stuff for all of them, especially my Isaac to be surrounded by those men and watching his favorite team, and all of it from the 2nd row, 30 yard line spot.  


So they had their fun, and we had ours :) Joined Grandma and Kristi and the cousins for a little pumpkin patch outing.  



cousin pictures, but no grandma pictures :(. there were no grandmothers climbing hay bales, and the two of them had a cup of coffee while the kids roamed the pumpkin patch!




That evening (Saturday) was our last as a group of 9 - Matt left Sunday on a trip, and my parents left Monday morning.  The house felt empty.  quick.  But not before we partied hard Saturday evening watching UND hockey and WFU football.


Sunday afternoon and it was time for yet another game of football.  These guys have played hours of football.  and I mean HOURS.


In one video you can hear Isaac calling "Luke, rush him, rush the quarterback" and Luke got that Granddaddy of a quarterback - and my dad wasn't making it easy for him.


Mom opened one last treat that arrived in her luggage - will be special to have one of these to light during the holidays!


We had a great visit!  And I'm so so thankful they could come!

After a warmer few weeks we are looking ahead at colder temperatures here - ten days ago the trees looked like this...


and Monday afternoon at the park the trees were looking a little more like this


The squirrels are bustling to gather their loot for the winter, and I'm soaking up every minute of cool crisp sunshine.  Pure bliss!
