Pumpkins, Fall, and Happenings around Here...

Last weekend Deborah called to ask if I would like to go get pumpkins with them, so off we went to Eaton. The pumpkins were as big as Erin! We had a lot of fun, though Deborah isn't doing so great, getting dizzy and tired in her first trimester.




I went biking that same weekend, with Sarah, while Eric and Mark took care of baby Lily. Sarah is amazing-Lily is 6 weeks old and this was the first major exercise Sarah has done in months and she made it from Drake to the top of the mountains up the road through Glenhaven. For those of you who have driven that route, you know the feat that trek is on a bike-even without having given birth in the last two months.


My dad was out last week, hunting elk on the western slope. He did fill his tag and on the way back home he dropped by and gave Eric some elk tenderloin and burger. Eric was very happy and said it was "like wrapping Christmas presents" as he cut and wrapped the elk in freezer paper. We are thinking about getting a tag next year and trying our hand at hunting.


We love fall, and I especially like our maple trees when they turn brilliant red.
