Levi 4; Mom 88; Dad 92; General Conference; Rebecca In Public; Shingles Diagnosis; Skeletons

 Levi had a birthday celebrating his 4th birthday. He loves to eat watermelon.

Two other family birthdays are Dad celebrating his 92nd birthday, and Mom about to celebrate her 88th birthday. They amaze me with how much they DON'T look their age!! Such beautiful parents I have!

General conference weekend called for our traditional ebelskivers breakfast on Sunday morning. The Excells were in Cedar City with Jeff's family.

Rebecca's family and Ben's family joined us for the event. As long as Rebecca was just sitting around day after day, we were happy she decided to sit around at our home with us that day.

We decided to treat Rebecca's family to a Texas Roadhouse dinner one evening. Just doing what we can to help her with meals when Dallas is working. 

We were shocked to see her trying out the boot and attempting to put a little weight on her sore foot. This was progress!!

Look how her foot is healing. It's come a long way.

Rebecca said it was wrapping her foot with a compression bandage that helped get her in the boot. Sarah and I claim it was our lunch date the following day at Olive Garden. 

We gave her the option of getting take out or going to the restaurant for our meal. She chose going in person. Yay!! Another sign of progression as she slowly hobbled to the table they gave us which was the absolute farthest away from the door. 

These two girls have had me so worried lately. As if Rebecca's month-long saga of sepsis wasn't enough... Now Sarah has gotten shingles. SHEESH!!!! 

I have been waiting and waiting to see if Rebecca is progressing to the point where I feel like I can leave her to go on vacation, and then Sarah gets struck with an illness. 

She assures me she will be fine and both of them are telling me to go ahead and go. Do I dare??!!??

It is evident what season we are in by all the skeleton decorations on display. This skeletal fellow greets me every time I go on my morning walk.

I must say I am a bit heartbroken at the thought of not being able to see the last half of the month's worth of skeleton creativity on display every year at this house. 

It is amazing the owners change their skeletons around every single day. And they are different from the previous years' displays. 

This one is my favorite!! It made me laugh out loud.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN in a couple of weeks!!!!
