Fall Fun & Paige's 2nd Birthday

I apologize for the delay in posting. If you click "Older Posts" you

can view some pics from our September trip down to Illinois for

the Pumpkin Festival, 15 Year Class Reunion, and trip to Quincy

to visit Grandma Terwelp.

We were able to go to a cool orchard and pumpkin patch where we got

to build our own scarecrow. We participated with Homecoming at

Davenport. My little Paige celebrated her 2nd birthday on several

occasions. Dan's parents came up to Michigan as planned, so we were

able to see them. We connected with my siblings in Morton on the way

back home and my parents were able to come up this past weekend.

The weather was mild and beautiful. We went to the "Zoo Goes Boo"

event and the kids had a good time. Hallie got lots of compliments

on her costume. I'm excited that it turned out so well. She's a jellyfish

if you need a hint :o)

We traveled down to Quincy for my Grandma's funeral. She was buried

on Paige's actual birthday. Great celebration of her life. Her entire

family - 8 children and their spouses, 29 grandchildren and their

spouses, and 10 great-grandchildren + 2 own the way - bid her

farewell (all together 72!!!). There are great memories and she will be

missed!

You guys have been super busy. Nice that all of your grandma's family could celebrate her life together. Can't believe that Paige is 2. Looks like she had a lot of celebrating to do with lots of cake. I loved her butterfly cupcake cake. Too cute. Hallie's Halloween costume is absolutely adorable. Take care. Love all of the updates.
