Jonathon is finally home for good. Erich is enjoying getting to know his daddy better. We had some fun in the backyard, enjoying the end of fall.

Jonathon is glad to be home, but is still working hard to finish his writing. He hopes to defend sometime this late winter/ early spring.

And Katie is enjoying a little more sleep now that Jonathon is here to play with Erich. We're all thankful.

Just chillin'

Erich was able to get himself into his rocker without falling and bumping his head, which is a miracle in itself. Here he is doing one of his favorite things: simply reading his picture books. He entertains himself so easily.




Last night I spied Erich reading the paper with his grandpa. It was so cute to see the two of them. Another of Erich's favorites is the Target circular.

On another note, I received my new camera yesterday (a Canon Rebel XTi, 10.1 megapixel). As soon as I figure out how to use the darn thing, and download the software, I'll have some less-grainy pics to show you all. But beware; my work schedule is a little brutal right now, so it may be a while. I'm not even halfway through the user manual yet.

Trick-or-Treat!

Erich had a lot of fun trick-or-treating for the very first time. We were sad his daddy couldn't be there to join the festivities, but their are many more Halloweens to come.

We spent the evening with our friends in Grand Rapids. Robert and Kathryn traditionally have their nieces and nephew come over for a party and graciously invited us to join them.
