Holy cow, lots of stuff from October...

Waiting for Matt's brother, Nick, to get home off his mission in Argentina at the SD airport. Very exciting!
Eli with favorite Uncle Andrew

Barry and Grandpa Faas

Shoulder ride time.

The "men."

"Oh, the fam!" This must be Dorothy, Bill, and little Joey.

Yee haw! This is Eli's most favorite thing to do...drive cars. Matt thinks Barry looks like a crazy man in this picture. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.The fam again, the extended Faas version. Which camera are we supposed to be looking at again?

Uncle Nick and the two babies.

Barry is about twice Lukie's size...I guess that's okay because he's about twice Lukie's age too.:)

On our way into the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

"Ooo." Barry's favorite thing to say about everything.

Although the quacking, pooping ducks made him a little nervous, as it did me.

That's about all we could get out of him at the petting zoo...petting with one finger only. We tried telling him the animals were "soft" but he didn't really buy it. I think he takes after Uncle Jeff's love of animals. Jeff may or may not have wanted to kill my cat when I was little. May Bob rest in peace. Meow.

Eli looking pretty enthused to be posing in the stroller with Mom.

Barry the Bumble BEE! Oh he's so cute!

We had the cousins Halloween party at Jeff and Misty's the week before Halloween. He always has to be pushing something now. But seriously, isn't he the cutest bumble bee you've ever seen?

On the train with Hannah Montana, aka Abigail Trendler

All aboard! Grandpa T got out his lawnmower train for the Halloween event. It made its debut last Christmas and it's been a family favorite ever since. Matt wants to know what Dad can do this year to top that.

One more quick little snooze in the cupboard. I just knew we kept the Seal-a-Meal for something! FYI, Barry sleeps at night in the cupboards now. I like it because it frees up his room for other things. Now Matt has space for that body builder gym he's always bugging me about.
