Return of the Manny

 What, you say, could be so important that the editors would dust off this old gem?  Why, the return of our favorite caregiver, Uncle Kevin!  While we sure loved UK when he would come and visit from his home in distant California, nothing beats having him here in Grand Rapids for good!!!  UK has recently secured employment at a museum not far from GR, but lets not fool ourselves, his whole raison d'etre is now hanging out with me!

The pictures below are from our trip today to the Pumpkin Patch out in Lowell, where we HOUSED some pumpkin donuts, picked out some pumpkins, climbed some hay bales and, as pictured below, toured the petting zoo!  I got licked by a mommy cow!  UK, way more brave that the editors, was willing to pet the creepy (buy camera shy) miniature horse.  UK appreciated a full immersion back into the Midwestern lifestyle, and we were so happy to have him back with us!  Welcome home UK!!!
