Crumptonians

The Crumptons came to visit us again!

.

They were just here in February...or was it January? Those months all just blend together for me.

.

Then we visited them in Mexico in May! We helped them move from their museum house to their sweet city house.

.

So they were here again b/c they have a six month visa that needs renewing that often. Also, they had a new baby boy, Anson, that their families wanted to meet of course! Krista went like three weeks over due w/little Anson so they couldn't come to the States as early as they would have liked. At any rate, they were here Sept. 11-14 and it was great having them.

.

My kids quite enjoyed Anson. Noah still says he doesn't want a new baby sister or brother b/c Evie is his baby. I guess that's what I get for still calling her a baby! .
Evie isn't quite gentle enough on a baby though...

.
Adam turned 31 on September 8th so I made him a strawberry rhubarb pie. It was my third in a week. Now I have no more shortening!

.
Yummy.

.

That is a toy snake biting Adam. Was Alistair scared?

.

No. Monkey see, monkey do.

.
So, here is what happened the day before:

.
Noah jumped off the back of the couch to get daddy, but missed and landed on Alistair's leg since he had just leaned over Terry to tickle him. They had been all running around and playing together. The fun stopped there.

.

Dr. Dave graciously X-rayed Alistair's leg and found a spiral fracture. So he needs to wear that cast for 3-4 weeks. I think I need Mom safety classes or something. It's been a hard month!

.

We broke Alistair's leg so they broke our chair...or so they say. Fair enough. Krista was pulling Alistair out of the stair and his foot stuck in it. When it came out, the chair fell crashing to the ground. And great was that crash.

.

The Crumptonians are packed up to leave us.

.

Terry did some kung foo to teach them never to come back again... As if they needed another lesson though. Seriously, I hope they come back!

.

Krista's seat w/the kids. It's a good thing they have a sweet Cadillac to ride around in for 7200 miles (Krista's family is in upper New York so they always put on A LOT of miles). The Caddy previously belonged to Terry's grandfather.

.

Is that thing loaded or what? I think they might have a body in that trunk.
