October in Moscow - 1

Flying to Spokane on Wednesday afternoon we could see a little color in the forest and we talked about how nice it would be to go and see the fall colors in Vermont some day. I joked that by the time we had both the time and $$ to take that trip, global warming would have advanced so far that the trees in the Northeast would just turn brown. :-) We arrived in Spokane and drove south to Moscow well after dark. When we and the sun rose this morning, oh my... what a sight awaited us. Who needs Vermont... Moscow, Idaho will do just fine!!

When we arrived Thursday evening, they were eating a late dinner. We were confident that Kaleb would be glad to see us, and he was, welcoming us with running and jumping hugs. He's becoming such a great kid!! We were, however, a little apprehensive that Claire might not warm up to us as quickly since she doesn't really know us. We had nothing to worry about on that front. She welcomed us with smiles and giggles all around.

Claire and Pappa share a little joke.
