I'm a little slow getting Caleb's first birthday on the blog, not that any readers were actually looking for them on the exact day. Caleb Burton Wilson, 10-19-09, Wow I can't believe an entire year has flown by. Every minute has been a joy, even the fussy days when you wouldn't sleep. Now you're sleeping all night and then some (catching up I'm sure) and walking when the mood suits you. Also posted are the rest of the grandkid clan. I don't know why Dalton frequently seems to be missing from these photos but I guess when you're almost 13 hanging out with the younger kids isn't always something high on your list to do. We enjoy them all whenever we get to see them. There are lots of fun days ahead with Dalton's basketball games, Mallory's dance, and Payton's first school concerts. Having the grandkids makes me really look forward to my getting older and having time to spend with them.

We continue to enjoy the fabulous fall weather, free of rain and humidity. Not too much exciting in our lives. Last week Thursday night, on a whim, I sent a picture of Caleb into WHOtv not expecting them to use it but it was on the 10:00 news that same night, about 2 hours after I sent it in. The picture was one of many taken by Leah's uncle for his one year photos. And here is a picture of great-grandpa and Caleb playing.

Keep enjoying the weather, it makes me wish I was retired.

This past Saturday brought my first trip to Carroll's Pumpkin Patch in Grinnell. What a fun place for kids. The owners have done an excellent job designing a kid friendly atmosphere to enjoy the fall festivities. Caleb wasn't old enough to appreciate everything but this Grandma had a fun time. Thanks Leah for inviting me. Now I need to get motivated to get my fall decorations out.

The last two Tuesdays have been making trips to Webster City to see grandson Dalton play 7th grade football. He mostly plays center but can occasionally play defense. Unfortunately we didn't bring them good luck but we did enjoy having the opportunity to sit outside in nice weather and watch good games. We might make it to one more game in Boone before his season is complete.

Last Sunday took us to Webster City again to see Mallory receive her Bible at church. Mallory is in the middle (black and silver outfit). They have a very meaningful presentation. The Bibles are very "kid" friendly. Enjoy using it Mallory, it is a special gift.
