Our trip to Durango to ride the train...waiting for the engine to pull in

This is Bill Coley - he used to drive the steam engine at Disneyland with Jeff's dad, Mike.

He left that job years ago to drive the Durango - Silverton line - now he's Head Engineer!

There were two or three water stops

Bill gave the kids a full tour after our trip

Morgan and Wes - Five Guys, Denver

This was the first time Annette has been allowed to roam free in the playroom - she is usually very confined and under strict supervision - needless to say, she loved the freedom!

Trick or Treating on Cumbre Vista

After Trick or Treating at Doug & Lynn's house - we left the kids sleeping at our house with our teenage neighbor, Jessica Simer watching tv on our couch.

Master Sargent Jerry Simer - Paige featured him on a star that she made for Vet's Day at school.r

I forgot I was filling something on the counter with water and I FLOODED the kitchen. Annette loved helping me clean up.

I couldn't find a decent turkey shirt anywhere - "sew" I took matters into my own hands
