Fall in Colorado

Henry left for Kansas Friday morning to hunt whitetail deer with a friend. They plan to be gone until Sunday evening, so Kyle and I have been hanging out with Dad and Mom (Papa and Mama to Kyle). The weather has been so nice here. We haven't recieved a drop of moisture in quite a while (that is bad) but the temp. has been so nice! Saturday, Michael and Mary and family, came over to help rake the leaves in Dad and Mom's yard. There were a ton of leaves! Michael had to get the leaf blower out to blow the leaves out of the rocks and into the middle of the yard where we built a large pile of leaves. We got about 10 bags of leaves when it was all said and done. The kids had a blast playing in the leaves. They were jumping in them, laying in them, and throwing them. Melissa was into eating them. She's a baby, what can you do?!

Kyle loves to read! He loves to have us read to him, but sometimes we just can't read to him. I walked into the family room the other day and found Kyle sitting in his tunnel from IKEA (the tunnel was tied up) and he was reading a book. Of course he can't read, but he was telling himself a story!
