Virginia and I went for a hike on Columbus Day with Grandma and Granddad to Tumbledown Dick. The foliage was beautiful and the views from the top were worth the hike. That weekend we also enjoyed dinner night with friends ... the kids carved small pumpkins for Halloween and they had a great time making a mess in the garage.








The big news from our house is the newest addition in our backyard. We finally did it and purchased a swingset from Rainbow Direct. It was well worth it ... Virginia is out on "her playground" everyday and there hasn't been a day that a friend doesn't pop by to play on it too. Virginia of course loves the swings and I especially like the slide... very fast!
