Halloween Action
A new edition, make that ADDition
I have to admit, this is not the first time, in fact...when the new baby comes in May of 2009...I will be Great Aunt for the 20th time.
Kaija and Mike are expecting a baby in May. They have Charli and Milli who will be big sisters to the new babe.

They're Here
The following are not my photos, but I am hopeful to take a few as the birds get used to me.

I'm excited about Monday night football this week, it is the Broncos! First time to see them since the move. We usually only see the Green & Gold boys out of Green Bay or those nasty Vikings from Minnesota.
Go Broncos!

Fall has really come to Rice Lake, the high is barely 60 and the lows are in the 3o's now. But, there are a couple of trees in my yard which are still showing some pretty nice color.
Now, if anyone needs any free leaves, just let me know. I can't even imagine how big the pile will be once I start raking.

From Waumandee, I headed for Durand to spend the night with Kris and Lora and 6 week old great nephew Anders Dakota. He's a little cutie.
Anders made his Daddy Kris feel real tired, but even while napping, Kris kept the food coming!I left Durand and stopped in Spring Valley to see Glenn & Kathy and scam a free lunch of homemade chicken soup & homemade beer bread. Yum.
While I was in Spring Valley I got treated to Alyxis's recent loss of another bottom tooth. She's a Jack O' Lantern look alike now! Did you know the tooth fairy pays in $10 increments these days?

The leaves on the way there were so pretty, just have to post a few more pictures here. This barn looks to have been painted by a Packer Fan at some stage of it's lifetime.
