Here are some short videos of Brock. Enjoy....

Oh what a lovely weekend.  We "surprised" Jake and Joanne with a visit in cohoots with mom and dad's prearranged visit.  Caught in a midnight couch crash we do some catching up before bed.

This year we spent our first (of probably many) Halloween as respectable
