Falling for Finn and Hildi

As the sun shines less and the cold and darkness wraps itself around us, we've been further falling for Hildi. Finn's still a big fan, as is Steve (notice the matching red beard to her hair). He's cooing more for her than his BBQ! And of course Sarah's fond of her too. Finn's been practicing dressing up with his cousins. We still aren't sure which costume will reign on Halloween. And, lucky for us love continues to pour in for our family from near (see Nana and Hildi talking) and far (Hildi gets her own quilt from Ann, Dave and Kelsey). Finn's gotten to go on two fishing/crabbing trips with Gaylord (aka Greg, Kendra's man). One in the sun and one in the POURING down rain. He liked both -- his favorite part pushing the ones that aren't "keepers" back into the bay. Oh - and we had a nice visit with cousin Mason where he modeled for us. What a handsome kid. You'll see what I'm talking about by following this link. Sarah's back to work November 1st and Hildi starts "school" so don't be offended if you don't hear from us much until the New Year! Oh - and the most important news we got this month, Terry, Steve's dad made it through quad-bypass surgery and is doing great. Sorry, no pictures. Sarah managed to refrain for taking any pictures of the ordeal.
