Pumpkin carving fun


As you know on Wednesday's we have the pleasure of having Jackson come and stay with us for the day. So, knowing that he will be here I try to always have a little something fun planned so that he doesn't get bored with coming here. Nick loves it and I love it. Someone to play with Nick besides his pesky little sister and pesky she is. Boy, does she love to torment him. So, this Wednesday we decided to carve some pumpkins. Jack was a pro because he had already carved pumpkins with Grandma Carol. Today is Halloween and Nicholas can't wait to go out trick or treating. He has been practicing "Happy Halloween" and "Trick or Treat" all morning. I am sure that nap time will go well with the anticipation of getting all that candy.

A Beautiful Fall Day

Another Eckhoff...


We are pleased to introduce you all to Chloe. She joined our family October 10th after Mom, Nick, Madi and myself decided to take a little drive up to Little Falls to look at some puppies. She is a Yorkie-poo that was born August 10th. We bought her from a place called "Cuddle Me Puppies" - this lady had a wonderful place. It was hard for me to come home with only one! Chloe had a little brother that was working really hard to come home with her. Nick begged us to let Chloe ride in his car seat with him on the way home but I am glad that we opted not to do that after she messed on Mom. When we got to French Lake we let Chloe go sit with Nick and he has been in heaven ever since. She follows him around everywere he goes. I must really be asking for it because now I have two that I am trying to potty train! Oh well, someday I will be complaining that I am bored!!!
