Horizon

Isn't it beautiful?!? I never realized how lovely the horizon was before. Now that it is a novelty, I appreciate it much more :) We went to the Shenendoah National Park yesterday for a beautiful fall drive. The trees were gorgeous as was the view! I loved seeing over the trees for a few hours!




When I die, I really, really, really want a creepy headstone. Like the cracked kind with moss on it. And if it is a little crooked, even better. I want it to look very Halloween-y and scare all of my grandchildren. Jay, Jack and I went on a little hike in the woods and found this tiny cemetery with a rock wall in the middle of nowhere. It was a little back-woods/West Virginia/hillbilly but very cool. Maybe, I should be buried in the woods!!


Probably the coolest graveyard ever. Jay had to sneak onto some private property to get picture, but this place was sweet!


Then, we stopped at the pumpkin patch, got a few pumpkins, some apple cider and Jack got to pet a goat. He was terrified of them :) Ha!


The tiny pumpkin doesn't leave Jack's sight. Yesterday it even took a bath with him. At least it's clean!



Since the posting has been few and far between, here are some pictures of Jack for the grandparents. Jami came up for a trip to the base to their freecycle where I got Jack some sweet new (to him at least) free toys! He pulls these ducks around the house, they quack, he quacks....it's very entertaining.

Jack and I spend about 45 minutes a day at the park. He is getting mad skills on the slide. He still kinda creeps out the other kids with his staring and stalking, but we are working on his social skills.

Jack and Bayles hangin' in their diapers.


Jay spends most of his week at school studying because Jack is his best bud and won't let him study at home. I started a job at a bakery on Thursday and Friday afternoons to give them some alone time :) Ha!


Jack's tricks. He can stick out his tongue, wink and tell you how old he is......very impressive stuff.

I think Jack was giving you the loser sign there...(just kidding). When I moved back East, I was naive enough to think it as all city. All the open space and trees was a real shocker.

I bought the creepy-est headstone for my front yard at Target the other day I'll post a picture on my blog for you. I actually got a wee bit teary when I bought it because it reminded me of you. But I definately claim it for me. Super Gothic...very cool. Will fit right in with my vampire themed funeral.

I haven't let Bayles play with his freecycle toys yet because I am saving them for his birthday. That is how cheep I am :) Also, I'm glad you got a picture of the kiddos together. I will now steel it, put it in iPhoto, and pretend I took it. Lastly, we went to the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday too, only the guy that drove the tractor for the kids hayride lit up his ciggy while all our kids developed the early stages of emphazima (sp?). Nice.
