As most of you know we love to take a walk after dinner. We are so bummed that daylight savings is coming to an end, and this won't be possible again until the Spring. But we've been making the most of the time we have left. Doesn't he look too cute all bundled up?

A few weekends back we were able to make an awesome trip back to Huntington. We visited around town, and went to Marshall's campus and got to show the kids where we went to college. It was so fun! Here they are in front of a really old steam engine at Heritage Station downtown. What a great trip!!!

As students at Marshall we always thought it was funny that this statue of John Marshall was made that it looked like he was leaning over really far. I think Abigail did a great impression. I was a bit too far leaning. And Josiah, well, he chose not to participate in the reenactment.

This is where we are spending our Sunday afternoon!

As a gift to us for our service at Northgate, the church gave us tickets to see the Steelers play, jerseys to wear, and terrible towels to wave. It was a really fun experience!

I cannot believe this sweet little guy is 10 months old today! What a joy he is. He is probably the best baby there has ever been. Almost always has a smile on his face. I could just squeeze him all the time. What a sweetheart! Love him!!!

More backhoe fun

So again i've been behind on posting pics. Two weekends ago we went to Bonkys for a couple days filled with fun stuff. We went to Oglebayfest, had a big fire, and of course played on the backhoe. Abigail generally would just sit on the backhoe in the past when it wasn't on. But after watching Josiah having such a good time filling up the front loader bucket with walnuts then dumping it out, she had to give it a try too. She did such a good job, and had a great time too!

Serious concentration

Abigail having a good ole time roasting some hot dogs! She took forever, cause she would either hold them too far away or too close and get ash on them. She had a great time all the same. And they tasted good too!

OOOO!

One fun thing at Oglebayfest was getting to pretend to milk a cow. Here's our little farmer trying her hand at it. No danger in her doing this for a living, she said it was really hard.

We love the trains!

Cole, Abigail, Samuel and Josiah really had a great time checking out all the cool train set up. The one closest to them was one of Josiah's favs. It had big tanks and stuff on it.
