No I haven’t fallen in [another] hole. I seem to be getting myself in trouble with that lately. This morning I went to have a prescription filled. The drug store did not have the second item I was looking for, so I thought I would drop by my sister inlaw’s to pick up Caleb’s jacket we left last night and then run to Kmart. I sat down for “just a minute” to do some gossipping and ended up staying over an hour. Of course the husband started wondering what in the world had happened. Oops.

I don’t have any story of where I’ve been the last several days, other than just unmotivated to write. I hate going through spells like that. We’re still experiencing a lot of uncertainty with Scott’s job and it puts quite the damper on things. Anyway…

Caleb found this bug outside crawling on the railing and named him the “Halloween Bug.” He really does look like he has a face on his back. I never could figure out what he is called. We did determine that he can fly. A few seconds after this picture, he sort of raised his head up, wiggled back and forth like he might jump, and then launched into the air. Being right up in his face looking through a camera lens not knowing he could fly, this came as quite a surprise.

Last night we headed over to the park, conveniently located right next door to my sister & mother inlaw’s. We met a friend there and ended up ordering pizza and having a picnic at the park, including the next door neighbor’s little girl who happened to be playing, accompanied by her babysitter.

Taylor was at Caleb’s 2nd birthday party. She sure is a cutie!
