Our front porch when we left.

We went to the neighborhood of our friends, the Boyds. They have 8 children and there were 2 more boys that came along. We split into 4 groups and had a great time!

Here is the crazy crew! 

My group couldn't quite make it through the whole neighborhood. I think they had a good night!

Our pumpkins.

Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

This last October, we celebrated the 11th birthday of our daughter dearest. She opted for Penne Rustica, one of her favorite pasta dishes. She shared the chance to decorate her cake with her siblings. We enjoyed a weekend of watching Harry Potter and also dog-sitting. We sure appreciate the sparkle and brilliance this fantastic girl adds to our lives!

Getting ready to blow out her 11 candles!

Penne Rustica birthday dinner

She was sweet to let everyone help decorate her Harry Potter themed cake.

The sweetest birthday girl

Part of her gift was that we got to dog-sit over the weekend. The one with the white face was named Janie. I can't remember the name of the other one, but it was so fat, the kids called her Meatball. 

Girls enjoying Janie and "Meatball"

These were sweet puppy mill rescue dogs

Even though he's allergic, he couldn't resist.

Henry always likes to get in on the action.
