Fall Festival

Manyof you know that things have been awfully crazy for our family lately.  We recently switched daycares, resulting in a comute to Arkansas City for Bruce and I each day (luckily our new daycare has just moved to Winfield - yay!).  We have gone from a staff of three at the chamber down to just ONE (me!) in a matter of weeks.  Oh, and we've had an extra house guest for the past few months, as Leevi worked as the interim postmaster in Winfield.  Needless to say, all of these variables have made for little down time for our family.

So when a weekend like this past one comes along, it makes it all the more precious ... having long hours to just spend together.  Days like this weekend make me realize just how amazingly BLESSED we are, no matter how crazy our lives may be, at times.

On Saturday, we went to Udall for the Fall Festival.  Our Little Outdoor Boy LOVED the parade and getting to hang out outside! 

 Could that hair get any crazier???  :)

This week is the first since mid-July that Leevi will be back in Eureka.  We had SO hoped he would like the Winfield job enough to apply for the full-time position.  But apparently it wasn't all it cracked up to be.  I'm still holding out hope, though!  It would be SO nice to have Leevi, Joy and the boys close by!  We will miss having Leevi stay with us!

Grandma Didi, Aunt Joy, Brayton and Jonah ... all ready for the parade to begin! 

Clap! Clap!  Bring on the motorcycles!  Bruce LOVES to clap and wave! 

"Love my red football that I got at the parade!"

These pictures are from two weekends ago ... Bruce hung out outside while mommy and daddy got some yard work done.  What a good boy!

Could he BE any cuter? 

Not crawling yet, but starting to think about it!

Playing outdoors is FUN!



Sooooo tired after the trip home from Ark City at the end of the day!
