Fall Fun

October has been a great month for us... we have had visitors - friends and family come by our place and that has been wonderful.

Earlier in the month, Dale's grandma and grandpa Swager came to visit (that would be Bennett's great-grandparents). They were on a road trip from Idaho and made a stop in Sioux Center. This was somewhat unexpected for us, but definitely welcomed. Grandpa told us many stories - some that we have all heard before, but it were great to hear again!

A couple of weeks ago it was Parents Weekend at Dordt College, where Evan and Denise both attend, so according to Mom and Dad Swager, there were 5 reasons to come and visit again.
Denise, Mom and Janelle got to attend the play "Arsenic and Old Lace" and had a great time. Dordt usually out does themselves in the theatre department. The men stayed home and babysat.
In a few weeks, we will be making the trip out to Washington to spend time with them for Thanksgiving... we are really looking forward to that!






















Finally, here are a couple pictures of our little cutie pie on Halloween. I must say, he was the cutest puppy around!

Tasty Toes

Bennett has discovered his feet recently and as a teething little boy, why wouldn't you suck on your toes if you could?

Smile!

Okay, so Bennett has never been accused of being smiley, so I thought I better post this one! Although his uncle Evan had him laughing the other night - yes, Evan will finally hold Bennett - he says Bennett is finally not so wobbly.
