New Friends

This is Micah and his new friend John Mark. He and his family live in North Georgia. We spent a few days with them in September when we made our big trip back east. John Mark was quite enamored with Micah. The first thing he asked when he saw us was, "Can I feed him?" He was often tagging along behind me..."Can I hold your baby?", "Can I play with him now?" He loved him.

They also have a very large love of a cat named Pounder. I think he liked Micah, too.

Here's Micah with his little taggie blanket that my friend Tracy made for him. Thanks, Trae!

Wordless Wednesday

Labor Day Weekend--Monday

And on Monday evening we left to go back east. It was Micah's first plane ride. He pretty much slept the whole way.

Labor Day Weekend--Sunday

Our good friends the Rickstrews were home visiting from Texas for a couple of weeks. Luckily, we got to spend some time with them before we left to do some visiting of our own. Tracy and the boys, Riley and Abram, came out earlier in the week and Tom came out Labor Day weekend. Cato and E also made it back to Humboldt for a visit that weekend as well. Friday night we had a gathering of friends over Loretta's enchiladas at the Manka/Hebert residence and orange brownies for dessert. On Sunday, we celebrated Riley's 4th birthday at Sequoia Park. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures from the Rickstrew's visit except for these pics of Cato and Micah at Riley's party.

Labor Day Weekend--Saturday

It was my friend Cristina's wedding. She's one of my friends from high school. She moved up to Oregon a couple of years ago, and that's where she found her honey. I'm so glad she came home to get married. It turned out to be a beautiful day despite rain in the morning and it was lovely to see old friends. And Micah did so well! Some of "the girls"--me, Ginny, Crisitina, Crystal, and Brandy.
