"Duck, Duck, Goose"

Ben and Ryley playing in the leaves and rolling down the hill.

After lunch on Sunday the guys were on the porch and played a game of Duck, Duck, Goose with Ryley, Ben and Olivia. It was hilarious.

Reese's Blessing/Fall Colors of the East!!

Last weekend we went back to Maryland for Reese's Blessing. We got lots of Grandpa and Grandma time. We arrived on Friday afternoon and had some alone time until everyone else
there. It was a very qucik trip but was well worth it. We loved the rain on Saturday and the
leaves were outstanding. Katie, Kevin and the kids got there on Friday night and then Jake
and Deanne arrived on Saturday evening. We had a great time just being around each other
and passing little Reese around. She is so beautiful and Ryley, Ben, Olivia and Ethan were
great. We went sightseeing on Saturday, in the rain, to see the leaves changing and all the
horse farms and green, green, grass. We had to go to Wegmans and to a nursery filled with
large pumpkins. Lori already posted the pictures of the blessing and they were great. Sunday
afternoon after lunch we all went to a local park, we were going to go to a resvoir but it was closed so we went to the park. We had a great time playing soccer, football, and just talking
and enjoying each others company. There are several pictures but they were even more, so
I picked out just a few.

Cute Couple!
So we decided to go to a resevoir to walk out

by the water and when we got there it was closed.

We decided to turn around and go to a park that

was close by. Everyone was turning on the pavement

and Kevin decided to pull in the grass off the pavement

to turn around and with the rain we had gotten the day

before and no 4 wheel drive he was stuck!! He tried to

back up but just kept spinning his tires. So Nate and Ben

come to the rescue, they just happen to have a tow rope

in one of their cars. So they hook it up to the back of the

Suburban and pull him back onto the pavement. It is

always an adventure with the Miller Family. Thanks for

the fun time Kevin.

Olivia having fun on the jungle gym.
Girl Talk!!

Playing football with little Ben and everyone else.
Huddling up to make a play. We had a great time and as the sun went down

we got on the plane and came home. All was good

until we got to Phoenix and David's bag did not

show up. It was lost and we did not get it back until

Tuesday. It had been left in Baltimore and it came in

Tuesday and they brought it to our doorstep. How's

that for service.

"Woodcutting"

After more than 20 years, David and I decided we wanted to go out and cut a load of firewood. We use to take all of the kids out with us to do this years ago and we always had lots of little hands to help. So this time it was just David and I and we had a great time. It brought back a lot of memories and some very good times. We went up by the peaks near Flagstaff out by Kendrick park and got a load of Aspen. I have always liked Aspen because it burns hot and it does not leave very much ash. We took that home and unloaded and stacked it and then went up towards Clints Well to get another load of Aspen. By the time we got done it was dark and we stopped and ate dinner at the cafe at Clints Well. It was a great day!!
The old saw was as good as ever.

First load almost done.

There is nothing prettier than the Aspen turning colors.

Playtime with dad!!

Jett loves to play with Daddy's hair and like to be tickled. His laugh is so funny!!
