thankful

To play outside, just for a few minutes since it's cold

To read with mom and brother
To find the least desirable location in the house to play, Harris's bed (he insists on sitting in his bed often, i come around the corner and he is sitting there playing with a toy he brought with him, i hate it!)To get mad trying to carry his car instead of roll it


The Dunn's are thankful for many things, especially the simple joys that Murphy brings us.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Safe travels to all our friend and family on the go.

big man at the zoo

Until this weekend, when the flurries fell, we have had an incredible spell of warm fall weather, enough so that we went to the zoo last weekend when Kerry and Linda were in town visiting!
The zoo had 3 big births this summer, so we saw the baby elephant, baby giraffe and 3 baby tigers. We had a great day!

Big man at the zoo...walking tour.

She was fun to watch. Her name is zuri, very clumsy and adorable, just 3 months old.

baby giraffe, also 3 months old, 7 feet tall

family fun

Fall

Here are the highlights from newest to oldest. Work has kept me busy and absent from blogging the last few months but uponing returning from this last trip, life will now settle down just in time for the holidays. Since i've been absent, M has been walking and is a little pistol with no time to do other things than walk. Harris's results on the cancer front post surgery were positive and malignant, but docs feel good that they got everything. Matt and I continue our usual routine while keeping up with life and making time for a few new things.

Murphy the Lion


M and our neighbor Zach



by the end of trick or treating is when he got the concept of carrying the pail himself and that goodies were in it.

I had a work trip that matt was able to come along- we cruised out of Spain and visited the Canary Islands and Madiera, Portugal. Thanks to G&G Dunn for watching the little man.

Portugal, this place was beautiful.


"i have to put a suit on, on vacation" famous words from my husband.



childrens museum, searching for dinosaur bones

water and sand that they could sift through, he wasn't sure about that feeling on his hands

this was his first "walking tour" of a museum and he had a great time.

My favorite time of the year is fall, this is Sundance. We took the ski lift up to enjoy the beauty.

love this.

my mom and sis were visiting for the marathon weekend.

ready for trails already.


finishing marathon #5 with Emily (she beat me this year). Notice mom and M in the background cheering me to the finish.
