Off again, on again, gone again Finnigan

The last couple of months have been kinda crazy and a hectic pace for a couple of old duffers like us. I was home from Columbus a couple of weeks trying to catch up on three weeks worth of projects inside and out and enjoying the beautiful fall weather and then had all the family home the first weekend in October for Gavin's baby blessing at our home, since it was General Conference that weekend. We had a really nice time with everyone, including Jared's family at both that event and a baby shower for Kandra the day before. Kristal and Kandra and kiddies stayed an extra 2-3 weeks & enjoyed getting to know the newest little member of the family.

After that we accompanied Kandra and Gavin on their flight back home to Ohio, since Frank had meetings in Cincinnati for a week. Jared had gone back two weeks previously as his Fall Break from school had ended. He was definitely glad to see the return of his little family and had the house clean and decorated for fall plus plenty of Halloween treats on hand.

We are home again for a couple of days, doing laundry, paying bills and other necessities before we go on the road again.

Couldn't resist an opportunity to get all three of the littlest grandkids at one time in one place.


Grandpa and Gavin in Ohio


What a handsome little boy and as good as he is good looking!


Kandra has Gavin ready to go Trunk or Treating in his cute little pumpkin costume. It fit him just right--he didn't need any stuffing to fill it out!


Naptime for all! Taking care of baby is an exhausting job.


Four generations--Kandra, Gavin, Great Grandma Burnham and Grandma Greer (me) at my mom's home in Mesa. Her yard always has lots of pretty flowers blooming.


Well, now its off to the Rez for a couple of days while Frank does Tech Prep stuff in Chinle, Kayenta and Ganado, then he will take me to St. George. He will have to return to Arizona a few days while he attends meetings in Prescott and then he will return to Utah. We will take care of Lance's four children while he and Shannon head to the Mediterranean for a cruise to several ports in Italy plus Malta, Spain, etc. We tried to convince them we needed to go also to help them celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary but no deal.
