It's been a while...here's what's been goin' on!
Grandma and Grandpa came for Halloween...which allowed Dave and I to both go to GSA in Baltimore this year! I got up bright and early (4am) Nov 1 to catch my flight, after a fabulous evening of trick or treating with Grandma and the kids while Grandpa handed out candy.

 |
| El had to get in on the action too. |

 |
| Trick or treating with the Burnetts is always a good time! Although El started out not so sure... |
 |
| after the first couple houses he realized how fun it was to run down the sidewalk...giggling the whole way and occasionally stopping to hug a tree...I kid you not. |

November was very pleasant around here (we only got our first snowfall of the season yesterday!). It gave us plenty of time to get the gardens all cleaned up, and we had two little helpers just itching to use their shovels (or trucks) to dig in the dirt.
And of course we had to do some leaf cleanup as well. Which meant Dave went and bought 2 kid sized rakes, so that all 4 of us had an appropriately sized rake...but Elliot of course insisted on using an adult rake and then screamed in frustration when he couldn't actually drag it across the grass because it was too heavy...pretty funny.
 |
| Owen was very helpful with his kids rake |
 |
| mostly El just sat in the piles of leaves anyway |
 |
| or had great fun running down the sidewalk |
 |
| my sweet little guys! |
At some point Owen got ahold of my camera, and took a bunch of pictures of random things (people walking down our street carrying groceries, random cars, blurry pictures of us, some pictures of his shadow...but only the leg portion - there are about 7 of these), but there was this one gem in the bunch...nicely lit, nicely composed...it's great!
