Pictures!

Okay, I got off my butt and uploaded some pictures.

Halloween night:
John as Thomas the Tank Engine
Mom with John

Our hiking trip to Lewis Falls, in the Shenandoah National Park:
Look at that big rock!
Joyce shows John something-or-other
"Help me up"
Our goal: Lewis Falls

John at the pumpkin patch:They had a moon bounce (which he loved), a big slide atop a giant hay pyramid (which he not only loved, but on which he found an instant playmate), not to mention piles of pumpkins and a tractor.
Head first
Atop the hay pyramid
John and his playmate climb up to the top
John's pumpkin selections (Dad's right leg and arm make a cameo here)
"What I really want to do is go on that moon bounce behind me"
Yay!
Yay again!
Yay some more!
The hay maze
Four seconds of quiet
That's a noisy tractor...
... with big wheels

At home, among the leaves:
John on the back deck
John taking the car downstairs
Do you have any idea how much work went into building that swingset, by the way?
More John, more leaves
He's cute, which is why we keep him
See those leaves? I had raked the whole yard the day before
John, leaves, and his loot from the pumpkin patch

And, finally, we put him to work on those leaves:
On leaf patrol
Still on the lookout for leaves to pick up
Look at me, I have like 3 or 4 leaves in my wagon. Miller time!
