Happy Halloween.

Benjamin the tiger.

Thomas the Dalmation.

Wild, wonderful little men.

We have two little wild men. Now that Benjamin is officially up and walking, things are getting a bit crazier than they once were...these two have energy! Wrestling each other, building couch and pillow forts, pushing (sometimes ramming) cars and trucks into each other, riding tricycles and trains through and into the house (Sean is so worried about our walls), laughing and singing and dancing...life is good. Some days we feel like all we say is "No, no, no....nooooope. Not a good idea." Is the cold winter over yet? We miss warm weather already!

Benjamin takes a break to read a bit.

A pause from wrestling on the pillows...

Need I say more?

Thomas' latest line..."Mo and Octy did it."

Over the past month, Benjamin has started to take steps...slowly but surely he has become steadier and more confident. His latest accomplishment is walking across the whole room without falling over the many obstacles in his path, one of which includes his brother.

Winamac Reunion

Just like the old days!

Ben and Trey- the youngest of the crew.

Kendall, Trey, Kyle, Koby, Tyson, Benjamin, Sean and Thomas


Has it really been 6 years since we moved from Winamac to Granger? Hard to believe- time truly has flown. When we moved, our good friends, Kyle and Kari, had 2 sons. We had none. Now six years later, they are a family of six and we are a family of four- a total of 5 little boys and 1 little girl. Whew! It was wonderful to catch up with them again. We miss you guys!

Pumpkin Patch

Looking for the right pumkin...there are so many!

Found it! This one is just right...
Hitching a ride from Grandma- Thomas and pumkins in tow.

Papa's Little Sailor

It was a gorgeous autumn day, and Papa suggested that we go sailing...we were so excited to finally make it out to the marina with him! We could not have asked for a better day- bright and sunny, eighty degrees, a slight wind, and quite clear. BEAUTIFUL. There is nothing quite as relaxing as sailing Lake Michigan with good company, and nature's silence blowing in the breeze. It was so relaxing, in fact, that it rocked our smallest sailor right to sleep! Thanks Papa for a wonderful day!

Ryanater

It is impossible to believe, but our little bro, Ryan is a Senior! Yikes. Here are the four Galiher boys at Uncle Ryan's Senior Night football game. We are so proud of you, Ryan.
