My last day of official babysitting is October 19th. A bittersweet moment. I am ready to head to our home in Phoenix but I can only imagine how much I will miss these three grandchildren after spending all this time with them. As they say, that is why jet planes were invented! We plan to use them a few times this winter.
Mark almost has the fall field work done. Unbelievable that he would be done this early. Quite the year of weather in our farming operation! On the upside of that, he wants to drive out to Phoenix with me when I go and stay a few days and help seed our lawn, etc. and then he will fly back home. I get along fine driving out by myself but it is not fun so I am thrilled he is going with me. I have a one-way ticket back here for Thanksgiving and will return the favor and ride out with him when he comes to AZ for the winter. I would guess we will both be sick of the Iowa to AZ drive this year! (Not enough to not do it, though!)
Ryan is changing almost on a weekly basis so cannot imagine the change I will see in him when I return for the holidays. Drew and Kayley adore him and constantly call him "Buddy". We decided that they needed to start calling him Ryan or he will never know his real name! :-)
Some pics from the last few weeks:
