I figured I would commandeer my mom's blog momentarily to share a little bit about her short trip to Phoenix last week. Now before the Phoenicians get all riled up wondering why she didn't visit any of you while she was here, let me explain her reason for the trip. My beautiful wife Holly has been on modified bed rest for the past month or so and needs someone to help out with things around the house, not the least of which is wrangling our very active 2-year old Josh. My mom was sweet enough to come down for four days to help us out. Therefore, she had a full-time job around our house and wasn't able to see any of her friends. I'm sure she'll catch you all when she's comes to town again. On to the pictures:
While my mom was with us, she made our traditional Halloween dinner, Pumpkin Stew. To make it all you do is hollow out a pumpkin, put all the fixings inside, and then put the whole thing in the oven. Josh added his own special touch by decorating the pumpkin before we baked it. It was delicious!
On Halloween, Josh caught a bit of a cold and wasn't able to go out trick-or-treating. However, he loved answering the door and seeing all the kids dressed up in their costumes. Also, two of Josh's friends stopped by to say hi. Here is a picture of Josh (in the jack-o-lantern shirt) and his friends Camden and Effie.
Thanks for coming down Mom! We love you and loved having you here!

Pumpkin stew looks like one of the best traditions a family could have on halloween. Yummy!
If only we could go trick-or-treating here in barefeet:)
What exactly is in the pumpkin stew...sounds like something to try. Sounds like you had a very rewarding trip, but we missed you around here!
Thanks for the update, Dan. Everybody should have a Grandma like Darla. Special lady who seems to get more special every day.
