October. Glorious October.
It was Anne of the famous Green Gables who stated, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." And I heartily second this affirmation. If I could go back and choose my birthday, I would plant it smack-dab in October. On the 27th. (Because it's a number that's divisible by 3. Don't ask. I have problems.)
This October was a veritable whirlwind. Scott's lovely sister got married, we attended a Harvest conference in Chicago, and I managed to crash both a Blake reunion (my dad's side of the family), and a Spencer reunion (mom's side).
Of course, in the process of crashing all these events, I packed my camera.
And then conveniently left it in the bag, on a counter, at my in-laws for almost the entirety of the trip.
So, please suffer through these few phone photos if you so choose.
And I promise, for November, I actually whipped out my Nikon.

Someone loves "real" food. I made some teething cookies. So unbelievably slimy... |
 |
I decided to stay super-blonde. And super-short. I wish it always looked this good. Usually, I look like some washed-up Walmart person. |
 |
She's precious. |
 |
Soaking up as much sunshine as possible! |
 |
You may need a magnifying glass to see it, but Bets is sporting a lovely lil' ponytail! |
 |
Giving the bride a smooch! |
 |
Bets is cheesin'. Auntie is gorgeous. It's all good. |
 |
The Allison Fam!

Cuddles with Oma. |
 |
Papa Blake knows all the fun horseplay. |
 |
We even got a brief play time with cousin Phoebe! |
 |
Whenever it rains, we must play in the puddles! |
 |
The glee of suburbia street puddles! |
 |
Oma and Papa had a pumpkin patch! How apropos for an October visit. |
 |
Someone loves Papa! |
 |
We went on a family bike ride! And I'm fairly confident that my father is never going to get on a tandem with me again. |
 |
At the Blake reunion with Uncle Greggors. |
 |
Soooo pretty... |
 |
The reunion took place in the gym from the movie "Hoosiers." Here the Blakes are, recreating that formidable team. |
 |
Senior pic. (I did not pose him. Promise.) |
 |
Harvest University group! First time away from my babies... 3 whole days. Amazing conference. Brutal being away from the little chickens. :) |
 |
Doing the jumpy-jump! |
 |
She's probably going to resent me... But it's just so much fun to put things on her head. |
 |
Oma with her two wigglies. |
 |
Bets tried the trampoline, too. |
 |
Not so sure... |
 |
Spring Mills State Park... Gigi with Tia and Baby Bets. |
 |
The Spencer clan! Celebrating Thanksgiving in October. This family is always early to everything. |
 |
Playing at the park with Uncle Greggors. |
 |
Hiking! |
 |
This boy LOVES the outdoors. |
 |
Hiking with Auntie! |
 |
Yes, that's my son. Barefoot. Pant-less. In a creek. |
 |
Real men wear babies. |
 |
Sitting in the family highchair that babies have sat in since the early 1900s. |
 |
In the spirit of honesty, this is how most pictures with my children turn out... |
