Helping Others

Colin helped me unload applesauce for the Thanksgiving boxes the church is preparing for Cross-Lines.
 

I Did My Part

Happy Election Day! We voted at the Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center with no waiting late last week. But yesterday morning there was a traffic jam on Metcalf as folks tried to get in before the noon cutoff. Procrastinating seldom pays.
 

Learning About All Saints Sunday

Pastor Michael was explaining why we light the candles on All Saints Sunday. I loved that Vala wore her backpack and Adam hung out with hands in pockets.
 

Change of Seasons

Moving on from Halloween.

 

Día de los Muertos

Vala and Lowell put the names of dead loved ones (my parents, Grandma Lowe and some cats) on flowers to add to the Día de los Muertos display in Kirkland Hall at the Nelson-Atkins.

To go along with the Day of the Dead, we visited the mummy.

 

Trick or Treat

Colin as Cookie Monster and Adam as Bumblebee, a transformer, were ready to trick or treat. For Trunk or Treat at Colin's daycare, Stacy created this cute trunk to match Colin.
