Tears...

Well, so far just I've shed tears for this little guy, but Carsten is still trying to figure out why he is gone. His solution was to go and dig him up and take him to the doctor, which of course just made me cry more...
While we were on our trip to CA, Caramel was hit and killed by a car. We didn't get to know him long, but he was by far the best cat I've ever had. He was actually more like a puppy. He would follow the boys everywhere outside and even race them to the barn.
There is a kitten sized hole in my heart right now...

Happenings...

This is a tree in my parents yard that I thought looked pretty in the light...

Jim brought the kids and I down to my parents last weekend so we could have some time here before Thanksgiving. We are thoroughly enjoying our time--I am enjoying some breaks as Oma puts the kids to bed and then stays with them so I don't get interrupted and can just relax. The boys are completely enjoying starting fires in the morning in the wood burning stove, playing on Unc's iPad, taking naps with Oma, playing outside for hours, and just being at Opa and Oma's...
Carsten did get a cold and is snuffly now, and Reese threw up this morning, but with Oma around everything is better...

Carsten's cute saying this week after spelling my mom's name, Cate, "No, how do you spell your real name, Oma?"

Just Cute!

This last week I took some senior pictures at a park and Alicia kindly watched my boys. When we were all done and just visiting the boys went off to watch the ducks and this is the picture we saw...

Halloween

We last minute went trick or treating in Justin's neighborhood... We raided our dress-up box and this is what we came up with! A bear and a pirate.
