I have to say that the highlight of our month of October was a visit from my parents, aka. Grandma and Grandpa VanLeeuwen. They flew in on the 13th and left the morning of the 19th and it seemed like a very short visit. I wish they could have stayed longer. Every night my Dad told the kids his made up "Baldy and Lightening" bedtime stories. The kids wait eagerly to hear those stories every time he visits. We played games, ate way too much good food, worked on various projects around the house (Thank you Mom and Dad!....We always get so much accomplished when you visit (well mostly you get a lot accomplished)), celebrated our birthdays, got a babysitter and went to dinner and a movie ("The Help") together, and took a boat ride on the river with the kids. Thank you for spending the time and money to come visit! We miss you so much!
One of my Dad's favorite desserts is homemade apple pie, so I made one to celebrate his and Mom's birthdays. It just so happens to be one of Tom's favorites too.
Who needs toys when a good box provides hours of entertainment! The box was from a new trash can we bought on one of our many trips to Lowes while Mom and Dad visited.
The cuties inside the box.:)
Grandma and the kids waiting to get on the boat. (Makes me want to get a new camera instead of take pictures with my iPhone all the time).
Grandpa, Ellie, and Tom can't wait to take a ride.
There was no way he was going to look...so we had to take what we could get on our way past the Alamo. It is so hard to get them to cooperate when taking pictures...the kids that is.
