Miller's Pumpkin Patch

Despite it being a dreary day, we got out to Miller's Country Garden on their last day of the season to pick out some pumpkins.

Catching Up With the Carlisles

We enjoyed meeting Becky and seeing the younger three Carlisle kids. It was fun to hear about how Luke and Becky they came together, and we're looking forward to their wedding in December. 

Smurfs

In honor of Berlin's second tournament game against Marysville, Kit, Regan, and Kenley went as Smurfs. Bears won 20-0!

Shale Treat Trail

Our little "Grave Digger" had fun at the Shale Treat Trail. He got to see Laney and Khloe who were there volunteering. The commitment level at Shale is impressive!

Meeting Amee's Family

It was special to support Amee as she met her biological father Chuck Laufer and half siblings (left to right) Robbie, Heidi, and Terri.

Matt & Molly's Wedding

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kaelber! They had a gorgeous wedding and reception at the Gervasi Pavilion. Thanks to staff Facetime-ing me with their personal cell phones at the hospital, Grandpa got to watch all of the ceremony live and segments of the reception. 

The fall color was in peak season! Family pictures were chilly, but at least it wasn't raining!

The couple made us laugh as they shared their vows ("laugh/cry AT you" instead of "WITH you"). Joe also made us laugh as staff thought the black spot on the ground was from a lighted sparkler, but it was actually Joe's thrifted shoes falling apart!

Emerson said his favorite part was the bridal party couple that leapfrogged in and swung the bouquet to hit an imaginary ball. We all enjoyed catching up with family and friends, dancing, eating, and celebrating the couple!

Matt & Molly's Dinner Rehearsal

We enjoyed a lovely dinner following the wedding rehearsal at the Gervasi Bistro. Our waiter was particularly good and the food was great. We were all sorry that Grandpa couldn't be there and captured video for him.

Fall Break Sleepover

Winnie hosted a sleepover for Cam and Emma during their fall school break. They made a big breakfast, and Emma headed out before I snapped a pic.

Building a Car

Emerson has been talking about building a car for a long time, and Winnie found a way to do it!

Winnie Got Her Kip!

Winnie got her kip (a more challenging mount) on the bars this past weekend. Way to put in the work!

Spooky Fun at Oakland Nursery

On Sunday, I took Emerson and friend Bryson to Oakland Nursery to play in the spooky little houses.

Fall Gathering

We enjoyed hosting the Jumps for the fall gathering. Our time included the Buckeyes, basement play, boardgames, an abundance of food, dog entertainment, and more!

Celebrating Second Place

The Reds placed second in their coach-pitch baseball championship game. Now Emerson has a new item in his awards collection-- a championship ring!
