He's the one making the noise in this video. Car rides are awesome.

Sometimes you just need to get out of the ordinary and take a break.
Sometimes you need to hide from the demands of life and just be.
Sometimes you need to stop letting everything get in the way of your family and take the time to drink them in.
That's exactly what we did for the last five days. With all of this moving drama happening, we kind of despaired of having our regular autumn holiday as a family. Then Joey worked three extra days and could choose to use their equivalents whenever he wanted.
And then a holiday was born.
We got away to a place that had no cell service, no internet, no PHONE, for crying out loud.
We spent long days going for bike rides, swinging on swings, digging in the sand, and playing games.
We shopped the random stores in a nearby town and found sweet robot & flannel shirts.
We played together, laughed together, and realized what an amazing thing it is to be a family.
The air was crisp and the leaves were falling.
It was a beautiful thing to leave all we have and take all that matters with us.

| Judah and Lucy (my niece!) spent all day finding edible treasures in their grandparents' yard. |
 |
| My nephew is squishy and smiley and pretty much everything you could want in a baby. |
 |
| My BIL and MIL made this superb beet borscht. |
 |
| BEET. BORSCHT. !!! |
 |
| Aaaaand... where there is beet borscht, there are beets. Where there are beets, there are beet greens. |
 |
| Where there are beet greens, there is this amazing dish called beetniks just DYING to be made and consumed. |
