This post may set a record for pictures, but we've been busy enjoying the arrival of autumn in Utah. Here are a bunch of pictures showing what we've been up to:
Having Liz's 'special recipe' Homemade Tortilla Soup. We will patent this someday.
Enjoying the animals around the house, whether they be inside, like Ffinlo the cat...
Or outside, like the deer that decided to use the backyard to rest...
or the raccoons, who like to raid the cat dish at night.
Last Friday we went to an apple orchard/pumpkin patch to pick apples.
Tori was very excited about picking apples and putting them in the bag. She even posed a few times.
Joey was also good for a pose or two.
And Charles in the pumpkin patch, with his patented 'thumbs up.'
Tori still posing...
The boys wanted to see if they were strong enough to pick up the big ones.
Charles looks like he wishes Joey would lift more and pose less.
With the gourds, Charles had an easier time.
This was going to be a picture of Joey with a few gourds/squash, until Tori crashed the shot.
And then Tori by herself, with a death grip on her own gourd.
Saturday afternoon we headed up the Canyon to Vivian Park, where the kids played on the train.
And Joey slid down the snowplow a few times.
The Provo River at Vivian Park, looking up the canyon.
Earlier that morning (much earlier), my brother Jon and I went fishing at Payson Lake. Here is Jon clearing the first fish curse, only a few minutes into the (frigid) morning.
We caught a bunch, and brought home four fat ones for a fish fry.
We also found a great place to get cheap pumpkins with big stems--our favorite kind.
Tonight the Lesues invited us and the Wihongis to Gardner Village to see the witches.

And take a few pictures around the village.
Here's the gang, which includes almost all of the UT-based cousins.

The weather looks awesome for some fall activties! We still miss you in SAT...even though it was 97 degrees today!
Greatings from Lithuania (Europa) to your nice family! I am from Kewish family. I live in Klaipeda. My grandfather had several brothers who went to US before World War II. My grandfather Peter Kewish (Petras KeviĊĦas) along with his family was deported to Saberia (Russia). From that time my grandfather's family lost contacts with other brothers who stayed in US (Chicago). If you know any of them (Victor, John (Jonas), Alexandr. Their father was Mykolas) please write to me a message to kevisaite@yahoo.com
Erika--so glad to hear from you. I have actually done a lot of research on the Kewish family and am in the process of connecting the different branches around the world. We do know of Kewishes in Chicago. I will email you shortly.
Best,
Joe
I am so glad to hear, that someone maybe knows something about our family branch. I am so interested to collect info about it. Waiting for your letter. :)
