My dad's birthday is on October 10th... smack dab between Andrew & Teresa. So, we try to celebrate with him as often as we can. Andrew specifically requested going home to the farm for the weekend of his birthday & I couldn't resist. We are blest to see my parents pretty often, but don't make it to the farm as much as I would like. Sarah LOVES her Grandpa!
Grandma found a container of pennies that Rebecca spent hours sorting. She found some interesting ones & even some that were "SO OLD!"... like from 1993.
It was too wet to be in the combine, but we harvested the majority of their pumpkin crop while we were there & brought a good bunch home to enjoy.
She's getting stronger!
We were so glad to have my nephew Joseph visiting at the same time. What a nice surprise! Here we are at Pizza Hut... it's just not a visit home without Dad's standard thin crust pork sausage & mushroom pizza outing.
We woke up Sunday morning to a little more ninja fun before Mass. I love going to Mass back home. We have a gorgeous Church & it's nice to hear my Dad sing in the choir, too. Andrew joined him up in the choir loft which is always pretty special.
A little more play in the treehouse, shooting the beebee gun, chasing the random kittens around, & packing up before we enjoyed the parish bazaar. I haven't gone in a few years & it was pretty awesome. Completely freezing, but awesome. It was so fun to run into some old classmates & friends that I haven't seen in ages. When we do go home, the wonderful crowd of our family keeps us so busy that it seems we rarely make it into town anymore... sometimes not even for Mass if Fr. Jon is home, too. I hope I can find a way to see those friends more often!
Rebecca made this picture for Grandpa for his birthday. The whole thing is pretty impressive, but the thing that tickled me the most was the "slug bug" driving by in the bottom corner.
Happy Birthday, Andrew!
Happy Birthday, Dad!
