 A couple months ago, Adam and I had the privilege of going to Lebanon, PA, for him to speak at a youth convention.  Lucky for me, I have quite a bit of family in Mifflinburg which is only about an hour and a half from Lebanon.  We decided to meet up with as many as could on that beautiful Saturday at a park for pizza. It was so much fun seeing all of them again, as I usually only see them at Thanksgiving or Christmas.  

Here are some shots I got before my camera died.

 Was especially happy to see my cousin Andrea as she won't be making it to our yearly gathering which is Thanksgiving this year.  She is due to have a baby right around that time.  Congratulations, Andrea...I love you!

 My cousin, Daryl, and me.

 This picture was taken with my phone...

It was so much fun being with my cousins again...lots of reminiscing going on here! :)

More Fall Fun!

This past weekend, my Mom came to Cincinnati to see her Mom, and brought 2 of my nieces with her.  Her trip time was doubled by a wreck in Dayton (semi and gas spill) so she brought my nieces on to my house late that night instead of me waiting at Grandma's house to take them home with me.  They spent the night and the next morning we headed to Iron's Fruit Farm.  We love the place and have enjoyed going in the past.  When we were finished there, we headed to my Grandma's house.  My cousin, Sarah Ann, happened to be there with her hubby and kiddos, so it was nice spending some time with them as well.  Mom is always finding things to do when she is at her Momma's house and this time it was raking leaves.  The kids all jumped in and helped.  They LOVED it!  Plus, getting to jump in the leaf pile was a bonus. :)  Here are some pictures of the work/fun!

 Many hands make light work!

 LOVE Annie's smile here.  She was having so much fun!

 Crazy kids...it was freezing outside and they wanted popsicles...a treat that Grandma always has on hand for them.

 And of course, Butterfinger...she always has those, too! :)
