Life Lately

Playing catch up! Here are a few pictures from "this and that."

 We celebrated Kiera's half birthday in

September with Kelsey Elizabeth macrons...

Kiera's fave is the birthday cake flavor.

Dave and I traded in our standard weekend wear...farm

clothes and got dressed up for Erin's wedding. 

 One of Kiera and Brooke's favorite

spots in the house...in front of the 

heater vent! And can you spot Kitty?

 Kitty loves all things...bookbag straps, 

pens, food scraps, Kiera's toys...you name it

she plays with it. 

Clowning around at the cottage 

 Clam Chowder at the Farm! We saved the

clam broth from our clam bake at Put in Bay 

to make a batch of our favorite chowder. Yum!

 We love having visitors at the farm...3/5 of the Bockrath 

Siblings and their spouses...
Charlie and Becky, Joan and Paul, Papa and Mimi

 Imagine our surprise when Grandpa showed up on his usual Friday

visit with his hand in a cast! He misstepped walking down the steps at work and 

as he fell, he raised his arms up in the air. When his arms came down,

he hit his hand on the metal hand railing. He worked two days

 but when the swelling didn't go down on  day three, he took

a trip to the emergency room....broken bone in his hand. Ouch! He's out of work

for a few weeks, but not out of his routine for Friday visits! 

 Gram came to visit too! She's slowing down a bit 

but comes to visit whenever she's able. 

Kiera and her friends have been sewing and making 

other crafts. They've been making a ton of pillows, but 

also made a tutu for Kitty.

 We spent the afternoon in Columbus for Baby Avery's Baptism.

May God always bless Avery and our family! The Mormiles....

 Fun with cousins...
