Isis and Kira
Not sure why on this particular day Kira was being so nice to Isis, but all she wanted to do was pose with her.
Below is a funny occasional Basenji pose:

Farmer Tom and His Wife, Monica
Monica walks her dogs past our house nearly every day so we have become friends in our short interchanges in the road in front of our house. She is the cutest, sweetest lady from Chile and Puerto Rico. Her and her husband, Tom, raise beef cows and therefore have a plenitude of dairy do-do that they offer freely to their friends. We stopped by to fill up a couple buckets and farmer tom offered to take us around the farm in his tractor/go cart/gator thing:
Seriously, nicest people ever.

Spicer's (again)
If usual readers of my blog don't know yet that Spicer's orchard is a favorite place of ours, then you haven't been paying much attention over the last 3 years or so. (I wonder how many posts on my blog mention it?)
Anyway, we went on a field trip with Kira's class there. Her friend, Ryker, is in her class too (and his family goes to church with us and their daddies work in the same ortho program.)
Those kids are seriously so sweet..

The Beach in October, in Michigan
We really have a lot of blessings. Looking back a few months to when this photo was taken, I am reminded of a few of the best.
We have friends who live on Silver Lake here in Fenton who have an absolutely amazing beach. We went there a lot during the summer of 2011 to swim, canoe, jump off their dock and bask in the sun. It is a blessing that we have a place to take our kids that is free, clean and free of cussing teenagers and smoking parents that we often found at the public beaches. These people are some of the sweetest, most generous people we know. Adam and I strive to be like them. Not only do they let us swim whenever we want, they open their home to us to get snacks or drinks and to use the bathroom. They have even came over multiple times to help us frame, hang drywall and doors in our basement, since he was previously a general contractor and knew we could use some advice. They are truly some of the best examples to us of generosity and righteousness.
This was our last beach trip of 2011. Normally, a trip like this would be in mid-September or so, but 2011 gave us an absolutely amazing autumn. This was October 8th, 2011! The lack of cold and snow in October and November was such a blessing. It actually kind of made us want to go south after residency, since it was so enjoyable and amazing, like southern autumns are every year.

Picking Apples at Spicer's
My friend, Sara, and her son, Carson met us at Spicer's to pick apples and have a play date. Man, do I LOVE that place. It was a great time.
And, notice the short sleeve shirts in October! We had a wonderful fall full of sunshine and beautiful temps.
