I can't believe it's been over a month since I've posted! Shame on me...and a big apology to anyone still checking the site! Since I posted last:
1. Jim's mom came to visit us for a week.
2. We traded in the mom-mobile (minivan) for a car. We are a two car family...no more gas guzzlers! No more double strollers...so no need for big vehicles!
3. My first nephew was born and I made a trip to A2 to see him!
4. The boys and I made a trip to the beach on an October Saturday - with temps in the mid to high 80s! Unheard of in Michigan! It was time for apple orchards and pumpkin patches, and we were still building sand castles!
5. The boys caught a nasty croup virus that resulted in high fevers for 8 days each (that's 13 days straight of caring for a child with a fever!)
6. I caught the nasty bug.
7. Jim caught the nasty bug.
8. We all stumbled outside, sick, to play in leaves and pacify Mom's need for pictures of fall fun.
9. Grandma and Grandpa Herron came to Michigan for a visit and we (Alex and I) met them at one of Jenny's volleyball tournaments. Alex loved watching volleyball (before he fell asleep on me), and especially loved heckling the servers...my little guy.
10. All were healthy by Halloween, which was such a blast for the boys (more on that later).
11. Busy season hit at work. Yes...and this is the main reason I'm absent from the blogging world. In fact, I'd be working now (boys are in bed), except that I can't seem to log on. A forced break from the chaos of renewal season in the employee benefits world.
So...no pictures on this post...just a quick "Hi" to let you know what we've been up to. The boys are talking up a storm and cracking us up daily. Their conversations between each other are hysterical! I'll try to get Halloween and fall pictures up this weekend. Happy November to all!

A new post! Hooray! Sorry to hear about all the sickos, but I'm glad everyone is on the mend. Can't wait to see those Halloween and Fall Fun pictures.
My goodness, I was wondering if everything was OK over there in WoodenWorld! Sorry to hear that you all caught that nasty virus, Emily didn't escape the croup either (although Greg and I managed too), and she also brought us home our third round of Stomach Flu this year. I sometimes think that all the terrorists need to do to cripple the nation is infuse us with sick toddlers (or young children :)
I bet that was a lonnngg 13 days! Glad you guys all made it through it and had some fun before it got so stinkin cold up here!
It's no fun being sick. Sorry you all had to catch that nasty bug. I'm sure Halloween was a blast! Can't wait to see those pics.
Yes, it's open enrollment season and all the rates are going up.
I'm sure you have your hands full trying to explore feasible options for employers.
Sorry you were all sick. I remember having sick kids, and that part I don't miss.
Can't wait for the Halloween pictures.
Don't worry, I check this blog once a week or so, since it's my only link to you guys. I know you're VERY busy.
Take care and give everyone a big hug and kiss from Aunt Joanie.
