Family and Fall.....two things that I love!

This is our "Halloween/Aunt Christy is coming" countdown calendar.
Rob asked Gabe, today, whether he was more excited for Halloween or Aunt Christy. He totally picked Aunt Christy (of course). She will be here November 14th. We can't wait.



Gabe and Cael. Not really fall related (except they have their collapse able trick-or-treat bags upside down on their heads. Just cute).

We had a really good time this weekend with family. Rob's sister Amanda, her husband David, and their precious little girl, Isabel came to visit (from Nebraska). We haven't seen them forever and were really glad we had the opportunity.

We also got to see Thad (Rob's brother), Julie (his wife), and their three adorable children (Kaipo, Sarah, and Ben).

We all went to a pumpkin patch to enjoy a bit of fall festivities. It was freezing cold and way over priced but worth it. The boys had a good time and we got to get out of the house.

On our train ride

Here Gabe is pictured with Uncle Kyle on the train. Kyle ended up moving over by us and Gabe stayed with his cousins....of course.

Cael, Isaac, and a few pumpkins. Very exciting. Does Cael's face look like one of those plastic trolls with the crazy hair, or is it just me?

Gabe....with same pumpkins. I swear! I had to force that kid to spend any time with me. He gets so caught up with COUSINS, he forgets he's part of us, too.

Afterward we all bombarded Carrie and Brett's house (Rob's sister), ate dinner and hung out. Good food, good conversation, and good memories. What more could you ask for?

A GIRL!

Here is a picture of the girls (Gillespie and In-Laws) with their daughters. Notice....I am the only one without a daughter....so, I hugged my leg instead.
(L to R: Corissa, Carrie, Amanda, Isabel, Me (I thought about patting my tummy in the picture but didn't want to start any rumors....NO WE ARE NOT PREGNANT!), Julie, and Sarah)

Aunt Amanda turned Isaac into a mad scientist. The look kinda suits him.


The old and the young!
The next generation of Gillespie's (exept for baby "XX or XY," which still has up to 9 weeks to grace us with it's presence. Hang in there Amanda!)

Look how sweet Gabe is. He put his arm around his little cousin Sarah. I'll tell you what, sometimes that kid surprises me. Why can't he be that nice to his brothers?
