"Look who's back!"

Last night, we were looking through old posts on the blog and I was incredibly sad that it just - stopped - in September (basically). Even if all of my readers have gone, I need to get back on just to document our lives a little better. It's hard to find the time, but that's my new bucket list entry ("find the time"). So, here it goes!

 Buck turned 7 in Aug. S-E-V-E-N. He's an elementary school kid. A real boy :)

 A real boy with a crown :)

 I had a jewelry party (and the boys danced on the bar)

 Buck joined cub scouts (Dad is den leader)

 Grandma and Grandpa (the Duke and Duchess) came to visit and Buck fell in love with cards again.

 We visited the first of 3 pumpkin patches (a real family photo! Can you believe it?)

 The Duke and Duchess schooled us in cooking (Master Chef here they come!!)

 The Broncos started winning (and we are full-force Manning fans)!!

 Pumpkin patch #2 - with the Mom's Group.

 H-P and Thunder among the Pumpkins of So. Cal.

 H-P had long hair . . .

  . . . and daddy cut it off.

 Semi-happy soldiers. H-P is now all boy.

 H-P in the first of 3 Halloween costumes (we change a lot around here). Please see 2006 and 2010 for his brothers in this same costume.

 Both Thunder and H-P decided to take dives off of bikes and out of strollers. Nominal mommy strikes again!
