Pumpkin carving!

Nick and I decided to carve pumpkins again this year after skipping last year and being jealous of all the fabulous jack-o-lanterns we passed in our neighborhood! Nick is obviously a tad more talented than I am in this department.  Sadly, we did not get to dress up this year for Halloween, so no pics of that.  We should have at least put Kodi back in his chicken costume from last year!

Dog sitting!

When Nick's parents went out of town, we packed up Kodi and headed down to the south side to dog sit.  Kodi and Ginger always enjoy getting to hang out together.  We attempted to make poor Ginger a ramp to get up and down the steps, as this is getting hard for her in her old age (as you can see from the pictures, she chose not to use it).  I guess dogs, like people, get more stubborn with age.  Kodi was very careful not to be too rough with her, although we know he wishes she would be a little more active and play with him.  It's nice that he respects his elders I guess.

Eagle Creek

Rachel, Kodi and I took a trip to Eagle Creek to do some hiking before I left the family to do some work in LA.  Kodi got to smell and see lots of new things.  He decided to jump out a window while exploring one of the shelters and had a little trouble getting back in, but he made it.   We also found "Nick B." carved into the wall of the shelter.
