life rolls on

So, October through January are a crazy time for me at work, but that doesn't keep us from having some great times! Ryan had a couple days off of school for MEA and I broke free from work to hang with my boys. We had a blast at an apple orchard/pumpkin patch. The boys had a lot to discuss....


As did the Joe's....

Funny little pygmy's....

Beautiful fall colors....

Then that evening we had a rare visit with Paul and Dawn. It was a great visit and the perfect ending to a perfect day....


It is weird to think about Christmas in October, but got a jump on things and had our family picture done. Of course I am not going to post that here, you will need to wait for your card, but here are some outtakes....


And what do you think happened on October 25????? Joe started his life as a vertical being. Steps were taken on his own. Freaking amazing.



We also welcomed a new member to the greater Tuttle family that day as well - Lucy Dawn Schaeffer - daughter of Jessi and Matt. Congratulations!!!!

Of course we can't have October without Halloween. Ryan was a Naval officer and Joe was an adorable dinosaur - Trogdor!!!

And just last week Joe and I made a trip to meet Lucy. She is such a doll and her parents are doing an awesome job!


Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and stay warm!!!!
