Jumping in leaf piles.

Send off lunch at Katzingers' for Carol. Good luck tomorrow, right knee replacement #2 is going to work out!

A quick visit from Uncle Zac on his way to hunt. Elena decided he needs a check up.

My baking helper.


More checkups on Peppa.

Mini photo session at a local tree farm in preparation for Christmas cards.



We played hooky from Elena's tumbling class because it was too nice out to not enjoy the outdoors.


Hiking at Cantwell Cliffs in Hocking Hills.






We had a great family day.


Tight squeeze, reminded me of northern Arizona slot canyons.

We are almost back to the car, time for a late afternoon lunch at the BBQ joint.

I am thoroughly enjoying a solo run on the cool sunny trails of Highbanks.

Saying goodbye to our playhouse...on to the next family.


Playing in Daddy's whitewater kayak. I'm trying to reorganize/clean up our basement.

Elena and I joined in the neighborhood turkey trot. 

Happy Thanksgiving morning to us!

Elena enjoyed the slide more than the run :)

Another nice day enjoying the trails of Inniswood Metropark.

Someone declined a nap when I knew she needed it, so now I'm walking all the trails in this park twice and I'm happy to be out enjoying some autumn sun while Elena catches up on sleep.



Writing a letter to Santa at the Worthington Tree Lighting.

Scooping out our squashes.

Painting projects to keep us busy.

One more solo run for me this month. Om.
