Unfortunately Henry is back in patient, and the new rules this flu season are, no visitors under the age of 12. So Joel is with Henry at the hospital and Elizabeth and I are hanging out together for a few days. Then we'll switch. Some how Henry acquired a bacteria in his blood, spiked a fever and has to be in patient for at least 5 days, to get released he has to have three negative blood cultures. I just hope Joel and I get to see each other before he has to leave in a week. So today after having our own little church time, we went for a walk. 
Enjoying the fruits of fall.Bobbing for apples in reverse?!
Not sure what these are they were just pretty and red.I know I'm a dork, I openly admit it and accept it.
We walked to a new park on Ravenna.
She's a natural, a bit scared but when a little boy told her he could do it easy, she walked right across. That's my girl!
Our favorite part of the park wasn't the play set though. The trees were awesome! Looks simple enough on the outside.
But a mess of tangled branches and twigs. Elizabeth and I hid under its canopy of branches while it rained a bit. 
Open fields are always nice for a little girl that likes to run! And I love the colors of fall here, you can actually enjoy the colors of the leaves on the trees for a while before they fall on the ground. Unlike AK where the leaves get forcefully blown off by the wind and autumn only lasts a few weeks at most.
A few turtle shaped rocks. Elizabeth and I were able to successfully rescue the three turtles that were in trouble. She's an avid Diego fan! Story time at night consists of Elizabeth and Diego stories, both are animal rescuers. Mom's imagination needs to expand a bit though...
The other awesome tree.. well trees in this case maybe all grown together.. a jungle gym of trees.
Loves to climb.

Loves to climb.Like mother like daughter.
In the mess of tangles trees. After a while it started to rain again so we decided to head home. However with a mile left to walk Elizabeth insisted on being carried. She was running too fast she said and was too tired to walk anymore.

So sorry Henry is back in patient, looks like you and Elizabeth had a good time,yes it is getting crisp here, but still pretty warm out for AK, no snow on the ground yet, people complain in the beginning of winter if there is no snow then by the end of winter their complaining its been here long enough. I'm just enjoying what comes each day :) Thinking of you as always! TCB
ReplyDeleteThis fall has been pretty long actually. There was a lot of color and it lasted a long time for AK. But those trees in the pics do look pretty amazing! Ryan comments daily how he misses our neighbors. Cant wait to have a healthy family next door again!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear, I'm sure he'll pull through and be out in no time! Love ya!
ReplyDeleteLisa,

I'm sorry Henry is back in the hospital... and that Elizabeth can't be there. We're praying that he will be back at Ronald McDonald House very soon.

Let me know if you want me to comeby and have Elizabeth for a play date, if she is comfortable with that. I could take her to lunch and a park with my girls (it cannot be a wednesday. Any other time is fine). We are all healthy right now. Then you might have more time with Joel before he leaves.
