Happy Thanksgiving!

We had all the Bullock's and Denniston's in the area over to our house for Thanksgiving again this year.  The food was delicious (thanks to everyone for bringing a side dish!!) and it was a nice afternoon of talking, Jenga and Uno.

Another Typical Weekend: Visiting Aunts, Grandma Birthdays, Sci-Fi Authors

A great fun and busy weekend!  Aunt Heather was visiting so we spent a lot of time hanging out, including watching the Beavers football game together.  Grandma Denniston celebrated another birthday and we had some delicious ice cream cake.

And to finish the weekend Powell's had 15 science fiction authors signing books in Beaverton.  Joe took two books to get signed.  Dragon and Thief by Timothy Zahn and A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin.  Steve stood in line with Joe and picked up a copy of The Dispossessed for Le Guin to sign.  It was a busy event but worth the wait, Joe really liked meeting both authors.

 Tim wandered around until the Star Wars people showed up.  It took a little coaxing by Holly but he finally posed for a picture with them.

Student of the Month and Carrot of the Season

Joe was selected as Student of the Month for October.  His band teacher nominated him for the prize.  Holly took his picture and he's smiling more than he did for his Student of the Month Picture.  Amazing!

Tim helped Holly clear out the last of the raised beds a couple weeks ago.  The carrots did pretty good and we used most of them in a soup since the weather turned cold and rainy.
