A Gourmet Club To Remember

Wow.

Fun with the tablecloth.

Otto learning a most important skill.

Matt, Dawn and Mae enjoying the game.

We had a wonderful time at the Schmierer Knust compound for October's Gourmet Club. KU took on OSU, and of course, we won. The kiddos had a ball as well.

A HodgePodge, if you will. . .

The future of Gourmet Club. . . Grettie and Mae!

Cutie Pie.

It has been almost a month. A lot has happened in this past month. It is a busy time of year for all of us. Mae is weighing in at 15 lbs, 10 ounces. She is 25th percentile in weight and 75th percentile in height. She is really enjoying her pureed foods and similac. She is such a good baby.
Luke has been very busy with school and getting into trouble at home. He definitely is pushing the limits and trying to get away with as much as he can. His teachers at St. Michael's gave him a great progress report. He likes to help the other kiddos in his class with a very difficult puzzle that only he has been able to master. I thought that was sweet. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

The Crossing's Last Stand

Jafferty and Jenny w/ our "big" beers

The Ladies' Restroom at The Crossing. I always enjoyed the random remarks. One in particular caught my eye that Saturday. . . . "Ladies, PLEASE remember to wipe from front to back!"

Ahhh. . . A lazy fall afternoon at The Crossing

This will probably be the last football season that my favorite drinking establishment will be around. I have such fond memories of times spent there. Nathan, I spilled a 24 ounce beer on you after our rehearsal dinner. Jafferty and I dancing to Dave Matthews and loving on our beloved KU band. . . 'nuf said. Here are some pics from the KU/Baylor game with my college roommate, Jafferty, and some other college buddies.

Pumpkin Carving with Grandpa Lee

"I'm Telling Jesus"

It's tough to keep a straight face when yelling at Luke when he fires back with, "I'm telling Jesus!" I guess we know he's learning something at St. Michael's. Here are some pictures of the little devils:

Mae enjoying her bouncer.

Luke and his bear claws.
Luke and Mae hanging on the couch.
Daddy getting cheesy with Mae.
Mae always chewing on something.

We are slackers. . .

I know we haven't posted in over a month, but it has been quite a month. I have traveled a bit for work, Ry and I took a quick trip to Chicago for a Cubbies Game and Mae just turned 5 months today! I promise to add some pictures to the blog this weekend.

Luke got a hold of our camera. . . need we say more?

. . . and mommy with a beer in her hand, of course. . .

Great Grandpa and Grandma Audus came into town for Mae's baptism, all the way from SoDak! (Mae is napping)

Luke entertained us that afternoon in his new pool.
