End of October

Well, time for me to start working with our Brundage Family Blog again. Since the wedding up in Seattle, it seems like there was not too much to say...since we were all together and had such a great time. Many thanks to Nathan and Kate for a beautiful wedding (and good weather).

Last night we had the annual "trunk or treat" at the ward building. San Luis Obispo I, II and the Pismo Beach Wards all joined in. There must have been at least 100-150 kids there. We had lots of fun. Since we have been having very warm weather, the night was not too cold (you probably have read of the fires near Palm Spring and the problem of the Santa Ana winds). Tomorrow the temperature is suppose to drop 10-15 degrees so we will be back to normal, somewhat. I have inserted several pictures of the grandchildren. Harry and Larry Boy, Charlie was the tomatoe and Joe IV was a storm trooper. (Joe is with a friend he brought to the party) Maggie was at a birthday party and so was not in the pictures.

Well, if all goes as "planned" Brooke will have her baby on Monday. Everyone is very excited. Mom and I will be on hand to help at their home with the children, etc. They plan to name him John Steven (or Stephen, they are not sure). John is for a very longtime ago Grandfather and Steven is for Brookes Father. Back in 1585 Abner Brundage had a son named John. There followed four other Johns, father-son, etc, and the last John was born in 1753 in New York. ( 5 John's in all) To my knowledge there have not been any other John Brundage's in our direct line family since that time. So with the sixth John joining our family in 2006, it is an exciting time. We will keep everyone posted and try to get some early pictures on line for all of you to see.

Love to all...Dad

PS...tried to add the four pictures...twice, but nothing happened...I must be doing something wrong
