Take a picture and hold your place in time...

Danny has been taking some pretty breathtaking pictures~

Breckenridge Mountain

Sun flare...

He hiked and found himself on this fabulous property and 

thought to send me the info...

Just in case we wanted to buy a place near him!

I just love this kid!

His good friend Matt came for a visit and

they enjoyed time on the mountain together!

Danny doing what he loves best!

Meanwhile, 

I took a trip with Meigan, Mary Annis, Mary Anne and Laura

to Meigan's condo on Anna Maria Island!

So relaxing.

There is nothing like be with the girls!

The view was fabulous~

The company so fun!

On this night I had on really high heels and was

actually taller than these friends for the first time.

I wanted a photo to prove it...

But during a remote shot,

they all stood on tippy toes to tower me!

Look...

I was really tallest for once!

We visited a store called Haggs Head and Meig

had a run in with a shark!

Cayden... this is for you!

It's just pretend, don't worry!

The beach is so pretty~

We walked,

and walked!

We talked,

and we had so much fun!

Meigan did about 4 forward flips to entertain us...

Not really but she probably would if she could!

I hope she had a great time~

she is a great hostess and we all 

enjoy spending time with her!

We made her smile a time or two!

We had dinners out...

Mary Annis and Laura~

Mary Anne, Meigan and I~

Thanks again Meigan~

Already looking forward to next year!

My girls got to go see Beauty and the Beast~

Thanks to Patty and Lin!

Molly wrote this note the night before...

It says...

Molly Carolyn

Beauty and the Beast

Going to that tomorrow

We are going to wear pretty clothes

I love 

Beauty and the Beast!

Beckie did Sarah, Julia and Molly's hair

in some pretty braids!

The girls looked darling for their big day

at the theater!

Beckie and her girls~

So pretty!

Bridget took the most darling photos of

her babies playing in the leaves this weekend~

Townsend Cayden~

Mya Byrnn~

How beautiful is this picture?

Great job Bri

Layla has been enjoying the snow in Colorado too!

Her parents posted some cute shots on 

Facebook~

Oh, how I love her!

Wow

Pictures do tell a story, don't they?

They hold our place in time!

Boo Boo's

Cayden is the most excellent helper at Meme's house!

Once our work was done we head out to the barbers!

We saw our old friend David, who used to cut Danny and Tegan's hair

when they were little guys!

Cayden did a great job there too!

We went to Toys r Us for a treat!

Some Rescue Animals~

Cayden had to get in the tub to play with 

all the ocean animals!

He may have played a little to long...

Time for helicopter rescue of the animals in the forrest!

He was busy all day!

Halloween morning came and we were sad to learn

Trick or Treating was cancelled due to Sandy, the hurricane!  

Hard to imagine it affecting us here in Ohio but we had

winds, rains for 6 days, and power outages which closed

schools!  

No worries we would still have our company, Aunt Bebe, Uncle Donny, Sarah, Molly

and a few of their friends too for dinner!

But first, we needed breakfast...

Cayden sat at kitchen counter, which he has done countless times, and had

a good breakfast.  When he was done he pushed the stool away from the

counter which ended up tipping the whole stool over onto the tile floor!

I was on the other side of the counter and raced around to find him crying sitting

on the back rest of the stool.  His feet and legs were thankfully not under the 

stool.  I scooped him up, assuring him he was ok and that is when

I saw the blood... lots of it!

After inspection, I found his toes had been cut from the metal leg or the bottom of the stool~

they must have been pinched between the floor and stool~ ugh

I got the bleeding to stop a bit and sent a picture to Mommy

who advised me to take him to ER~ she felt the fourth little piggy

needed some stitches and she was RIGHT!  She is an RN after all!

At Fairview Hospital Pediatric ER, Cayden was a big hit.  Bri used to work there

and everyone remembered Cayden as a baby and were so happy to see him but not his

boo boo!

Xrays were taken to make sure there were no fractures.

Little piggies were stitched up...

Won't share the before~

You can just imagine it!

Cayden  cried and cried but once numb he kept

picking up his head to ask

"Are you putting thread in me?"

Afterwards, my buddy thanked the doctor, who stitched him, and the tech, who 

                               wrapped him and even gave him a RED ace bandage, so it would go 

with his Spiderman costume!

One tired little guy when we got home!

Happy when friends came for dinner!

They all made him a sign,

it said

CAYDEN IS AWESOME!

and they all signed it!

That was the sweetest thing!

They will all be back here on Sunday for the rescheduled 

Trick or Treating!

Thursday morning we headed to the podiatrist Dr. Polito, who had been

called from the ER, to have him check the wound and make

sure there was no infection!

All was good and Cayden will see another Dr. on Tuesday when

he gets home!

We stopped at Meigan's to play with Emily a bit

and before we left, these two made like some indoor

snow angels!

Once Mommy was done at work, we meet her halfway so we

could pick up Mya and Momma could get a good look at her brave boy!

They were so happy to see each other after being apart for 4 days!

Mommy is headed to Chicago to meet up with some great college friends!

She got Cayden a fun dino drawing kit!

He loves it!

Kelley and Layla got dolled up as Ladybugs for 

Halloween!

We will dress up tomorrow night-

We cannot wait!

Cayden's turn to stay with Meme...

Cayden came back home with me after I took Mya home and stayed over night with

the Wilkinsons!

He got busy right away building his train!

He is quite the little chef...

Helping me cook every meal!

The things he says...

The way he laughs...

His sensitive nature...

the way he will tell you he loves you...

The secrets he shares...

His funny sense of humor...

There is 

NO ONE LIKE HIM!

and

I just can't get enough of him!
