Here are a few recent pictures of the kids:
Anderson University Homecoming
It had been a few years since we'd been. We were able to catch up with several good friends -- some that we see often, others we hadn't seen in 10 or 11 years. Hannah got her face painted, I got this picture:
I was a chaperon for Hannah's first school field trip to Grandmas and Grandpas Pumpkin (and gourd) Patch. They went on a hayride; played some games; picked a small pumpkin and a gourd to take home; learned about how pumpkins are grown; and walked through a corn maze:
Hannah's Class (Hannah is third from the left):
We went to Tuttle Orchard with Christy's brother and his family on a mild, but windy day in late October this year. We had all been there together before (except for Harrison, of course) just over four years ago.
Here's a picture of Hannah on the play tractor there from our first trip there:
...and more recently, with both Hannah and Katherine:
Love this one:
Swinging:
I showed Hannah how to tie her shoes like twice and she started doing it herself! Then, she insisted on wearing these shoes which are too big for her, but they're the only ones she had with laces.
...and finally, a few of The Boy:
He enjoyed playing in the sandbox and gnawing on an apple he got a hold of.
We also fit in a trip to the Indianapolis Children's Museum on a Saturday when the weather wasn't quite so nice.
For Halloween, Hannah decided that she wanted to be a cat again.
Harrison was supposed to be a floppy-eared dog, but he was either a grumpy floppy-eared dog or a completely headless dog because he would scream whenever we put the hood of his costume up and pull it back down off his head. This battle did not create many great photo opportunities. Here's about the best of the lot:

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) dir. by Doug Atchison
Better than expected.

For Halloween this year.

Not as good as others I've seen from Guest.

Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) dir. by Clint Eastwood
I was prepared to be wowed by Eastwood again, and was disappointed. I'll keep my eyes open for the counterpart, 'Flags of Our Fathers' at the library.
