Autumn Days

If leaves are to be raked into piles, then little boys will jump into them (or fall into them). Blue Suit Little Guy is no exception. Blue Suit Baby Girl, not to be outdone, sat in a pile of leaves.



The adventures of an Air Force veteran's family as they go to and fro.
For many people, Veterans Day can be one of those holidays that go by without much notice. I look back on my childhood and realize how little I thought about what the holiday meant. Now, it is different. Being a member of the Armed Forces during wartime, the holiday has a greater significance. Each member of the armed forces has their own tale to tell. As an example this week, one of my fellow interns received the Distinguished Flying Cross with Valor for his exploits during the Fallujah campaign last year. I’m not in a combat specialty, but my job is to help those who fight be more effective and stay safe.
We dressed up the family for Dress Up Day (a.k.a. Halloween). We don’t really love what the holiday has become – morbid. But, the thing about getting free candy and getting to dress up reminds us of the best moments of college. I’ll just leave it at that.
Blue Suit Little Guy dressed up as a fighter pilot. Not just any pilot, mind you, but an F/A-22 Raptor pilot. God bless him. Chip off the old block.
Blue Suit Baby Girl dressed up as a Mizzou cheerleader. She definitely cheers our hearts.
Little Guy looked at Mommy and said, “You need to dress up like a refrigerator.” So, Mommy went as a Frigidaire. Just goes to show that Rachel can do a full spectrum appliance impersonation.
