HAPPY HALLOWEEN ! ! ! October 31, 2005

Moorey wishes everyone... a Happy Halloween!!! 

What are those things falling down on me?

 

Watching the leaves falling from the Crabapple tree! 

Playing with the leaves... (don't worry we washed her up good after doing this, and no... she didn't eat any leaves). Eric was standing next to her, out of view, making sure that those leaves didn't end up in her mouth! 

October 23, 2005 and Mariel is turning 7 months old tomorrow! We were having a fun fall day, and raking leaves, mowing grass and enjoying some unusually warm weather outside! Mariel still has the runny nose, but the fresh air did us all some good. Mariel's taking some medicine now, none the less, she's had a smile on her face everyday!!! 

" I like what you've done with your hair ! " 

"So... how's the day going?" 

Mariel and her "first friend" Grace at Grace's house. Mariel stays at Grace's house in the mornings, during the week while Eric and I are at work. 

Mariel and Aunt Megan at feeding time! 

Mariel got to visit Grandma and Grandpa Dickerson the weekend before our trip to Illinois. This is Mariel with her Grandma D. (Judy) 

"Oma" and Mariel 

Minneapolis Airport... and Mariel gets her first experience being the pilot! 

We were on our way home from Illinois and had to stop in Minneapolis on the way... I couldn't resist a picture of this! 

Four generations again...(Wes, Allison and Doris..aka "Oma") 

Four generations of Osterbur's (Wes..aka "Grandpa"... Allison...aka "Mommy"... Raymond ..aka "Opa" and of course Mariel..aka.."the baby")
