Damn right that's a Broncos pumpkin!

Here are the finished pumpkins! Trish was her usual creative and hard-working self (she cleaned 5 on her own!) creating our display for this year. We have a "family" where each of the three of us are represented (Bella is the cute little gapped-tooth one, Trish is the one with the mouth askew, and I'm the gargantuan, funny looking one). And of course a Broncos pumpkin, plus a photo of Bella rocking her Ghostbusters tee!

Hope you all have a safe and sugary Halloween!

I ain't afraid of no ghost!

Pumpkin Patch!!!

Time for the annual visit to the Pumpkin Patch (Schaake's)! A tradition I married into, I've come to love this day as much - well, nearly as much - as my dear wife. Making the day all the more special was that it was Bella's first time out! As usual, Ric and Sophie joined the fun, as well as Jeanne. My parents were also in town, but dad was a but broken from the previous night's festivities, so only mom joined us. Below are the photos from the day. We'll post more carved pumpkin pics soon, as I need the light to fade so I can take some cool night photos. Enjoy!

Me and Bella. Yes, I'm growing a beard. Call it an "interview beard" (ala "playoff beard").

Our little pumpkin! (This was a great photo op, but Bella was WAY more interested in the 50 pumpkins here than looking at the camera)

Three beautiful girls!

Sophie and Bella. So much fun to see how much Sophie has grown over the years; don't bet against her being President some day!

The first of many more photos like this to come! What a time.
