Yabba Dabba Do!

Happy Halloween! One would think we've been scared off the blogspot the past two months. To those who actually check in on us, we promise to be better. During September and October, we spent more nights away from home than at home (for work and for fun). Work took me to Kansas City for a few days in September and Mike had back-to-back trips to St. Louis and Dallas in October. We've made it to nearly every Husker home game (with the exception of the first - we were in Branson) and managed to squeeze in a weekend trip to the exciting city of Ames, Iowa, to witness a 35-7 victory (yes, I do pay attention to the score, not just the band and cheerleaders). Over Labor Day weekend, we enjoyed a wonderful vacation with Mike's family to celebrate Howard & Donna's 40th wedding anniversary in Branson.

The following weekend, I took a trip to Minnesota to take part in Hadley's baptism.

In mid-September (a bye weekend for the Huskers, of course), we took advantage of some frequent flier miles and flew to Denver. We were able to see family, Fran and Nancy Lefler, and our good friends, Steve, Kathy, Drake and Darian Bytnar. We cheered on the CSU Rams and the Denver Broncos to wins that weekend.

We enjoyed having visitors when Ann, Derrick, Addeson, Hadley, Mom & Dad traveled from Minnesota to spend a weekend with us. We had great fun checking out the Omaha zoo.



Last weekend, we went to a costume Halloween party, posing as Fred Flintstone and Betty Rubble. Our trick-or-treaters were up in numbers this year - 47 of them (up from 24 last year)! Unfortunately, Evan wasn't feeling well, so we missed seeing his pumpkin outfit. We heard Hadley was planning to sport a pumpkin outfit of her own to go trick-or-treating with her big sister, Princess Addeson. Happy Halloween Birthday to my Mom today!!!
