October was full of company and we loved it!!! Well we loved every visitor EXCEPT the stomach bug, that one could have stayed away for sure and isn't welcome back. In fact if you didn't come you should have because we wouldn't have even noticed an extra two or four people around. It was a full month and as I sit here typing this tonight the house is eerily quiet! My stomach hurt when we said our last goodbye at the airport today and knew that the visiting was coming to an end (well at least until next month). But there is something so fun about having people in town this time of year. The start of fall, fall school activities, kids fall sports and just all the extras like pumpkin patches, baking and getting ready for holidays that everyone who is here gets to be a part of. I left the airport having had all of my family here at some point for the past two weeks and realized the one thing I miss most when they aren't living near - besides being a part of my kids lives and daily activities, I miss the LAUGHTER. We did everything we normally do but with more laughing and antics than normal when each one of them were around. I loved watching my kids laugh and it brought back how much we laughed as kids. So thanks to my Fam for the laughter and memories and of course LOTS AND LOTS of pictures. We miss you already and it will take me awhile to catch up with each visit but I can't wait to get to it!

Mr. Doc - the Canadian friend who comes in town every year to play in the golf tournament -
the kids look forward to him being here every year! |

| Poppy & Carter at the pumpkin patch |
 |
| Carter & Uncle B waiting for KK to get out of school |
Why these three pictures of our visitors - because Carter couldn't keep up with all the comings and goings. For the first few days he called my dad (Poppy) Mr. Doc, and then when my brother got here he kept calling him Poppy. It was quite funny.

A common scene at our house this month - so thankful it was the one week
in between all of the company

 |
| B's first day back to school after being home sick for a week - poor thing was so sick. Her pediatrician wanted us to get a blood test to rule out anything more severe because she took so long to bounce back. She was as brave as she could be (with Tim and I holding her down but she did it and all was fine). As bad as I felt for her it was so nice having her around for the week to read to and take care of and cuddle - I miss this one a ton, now that she is in school full time! |

| A common sight this month |
