Wishing a Happy 39th Birthday to my brother, Todd, and sister-in-law, Lisa, whose birthdays are just 5 days apart in October.  And Happy Birthday to Jeff's Mom and Dad, who also both have birthdays this month!  We celebrated Jeff's parents' birthdays with them at their house a few weeks ago, and celebrated Todd and Lisa's birthdays on Saturday at their house.  It's a busy month for birthdays around here, and we've got three more next month!

 

Also, several odds and ends pictures this week.  Things have been going pretty well around here, for the most part, with the one downer being Ella having her first three sick days.  Whatever she had, it was mild, thankfully, with no vomiting or diarrhea.  Just fever, chills, sore throat, runny nose, and coughing.  The fever lasted less than a day, but the runny nose and cough have continued longer, causing us to continue keeping her home.  I'm hopeful that she will be ready to go back tomorrow.

 

More pictures of the baby coming next week!
