Time has been flying!



Hello! Wow, hard to believe it'll be Thanksgiving next week--where did autumn go?

So--what's new with Greyson? Well, he's now crawling (and boy is he quick!), he has six teeth (4 on top, 2 on bottom), is pulling up, getting introduced to solid foods, and is simply a delight! He's a happy, smiling, cooing little guy, who seems to charm everyone he meets. We are so in love with this kid!

As you'll see from the new photo albums we've posted we've had lots going on! Some of the highlights: we gathered up with some friends back in October when Grampa Greg was visiting for a bar-b-q. We visited the pumpkin patch with Grammie Elaine and picked out some lovely pumpkins for Halloween. Jeff introduced Greyson to the fine art of carving pumpkins and dressing up for Halloween (Jack Black in Nacho Libre comes to mind =)).

I unfortunately missed Halloween this year, but don't feel to sorry for me--I had a wonderful time in doing some field work on Heron Island--in Australia's Great Barrier Reef! It was a work trip, but believe me, we had fun too! Aside from the coral being the healthiest and most diverse assemblage I've ever seen, it was also sea turtle nesting season and there were loggerheads and green turtles coming onshore every night to lay eggs--it was truly amazing! It was a once in a lifetime opportunity--if you ever get the chance to go, do it! You will not regret it!

Hope you enjoy the photos--we miss you all and wish you much happiness this Thanksgiving season!
