My family is coming into town. Hooray! It has become a tradition that my mom and sisters come and visit the first weekend in October. The above picture is from last year's trip to the Columbus Zoo. Sadly, Nan (in the purple) will not be able to join us this year, but Kira will be here. Last year at this time she was frolicking in the Middle East as part of the BYU-Jerusalem program. This morning we picked my mom and youngest sister, Kaylee, up from the aiport and this afternoon we get Kira. Bekka comes in tomorrow from Phoenix because she is still teaching today, but next week is her fall break. I am looking forward to a week of good conversation, late night chats, scrumptious food, multiple trips to Handel's, some fun day trips (or "Nollie's educational field trips" as Kaylee likes to call them), games, and all around good times had by all.
My little brother, Rikker, and his wife Kara, also stopped by the Buckeye state last fall, so we will miss them this year. They're currently living in Bangkok, Thailand, and we'll see them over Christmas for Nan's wedding.
We have plans for apple picking, pumpkin patches, some shopping, Amish Country, Slate Run Farm, and more. If there are any must-do activities or sights you know of, please pass them on. Here's to family!

Apparently, Ben wanted a bigger pumpkin.
How fun! I'm so excited for you to have your whole family in town, hopefully the tradition sticks. I don't know....it's getting pretty cold for Handels... :) We just went apple picking and I have some great recipes on my blog for using apples.
Have a great week with the fam, Nollie! And Noelle, in Nollie's world, it's never to cold for Handels:)
Sarah is right on. Pathetic, I know. :)
We wish we could be there! We miss you all and really look forward to seeing you for the wedding. Hope you guys have fun! :)
I'm glad to see Slate Run made your list of things to do...have fun with the family!
I LOVE your mom!!
