Is it almost November already?

Well, nuts, it sure is. That means I've sorely neglected updating the blog with important events in our life - such as Dominic's 2nd birthday, Will's surgery, Eric's hunting trip... so lets get on with it!

Oh wait, I first want to direct anyone looking for good election coverage -- from a Catholic perspective, that is -- to check out American Papist and Inside Catholic.

I've heard this article referenced enough times recently to link to it. There's still hope! The Republican kind!

I don't like this article, because it's misleading: Texas Tech played Kansas like a "video game, " not OU. (But clearing that up doesn't make me feel better either. C'mon Alamo Bowl!!).

Ok, when we last met, we showed video of Dominic's birthday, but no pictures. Presently:
From October 1
Dom gets an Elmo balloon, and donuts from Tim Hortons.

He also got some trains. We got a train track too that has seen a lot of use.

The boys spend some time together.

Last weekend, Eric went into the wilderness Northern Nebraska with the Great White Road Hunters Buschelman clan for the annual fall hunt. Here we see the merry band returning from the kill.

I like this picture of my Dad. He caught 15 fish in under an hour; this was the last one.

Eric returns on Sunday, and later we go to a pumpkin carving party. Guess which pumpkin is mine?

The whole gang. I'm the tall one.

Now, Grandma Buschelman was here all week to help out while Will has having his operation done. For those who don't know what operation that was -- call, we'll tell you. Anyway, while we are taking care of Will at the hospital, Grandma and eldest grandson Dom are up to hijinks:


Will just chillin' in his new hospital bed. He did great! Thanks to all of our friends who kept us in their prayers.
From October 2


After we came home, Dom and his pal Owen try out the new trains Dom got for his birthday. What's the best way to do that? Put them on the windowsill, of course.

***Eric's Rant***
What is up with Facebook's overwhelming slew of advertisements?? Why is Obama's face on so many of them?? Why are most of these advertisements so annoying? Ok, that's it.

Newly filmed events of our life

When was the last post? For the VP debate? I hardly even remember that. I think I enjoyed watching Biden and Barracuda Sarahcuda more than Obama/McCain.

(What was going to be here was a video uploaded through the Google/Blogger video widget, but for the life of me I haven't been able to upload a single video using it. YouTube it is!!)

I set a record for using sources at the Bible Study this week: St. Ignatius Bible, Catechism, In Conversation with God, Deus Caritas Est, The Way, and Furrow. Not to mention the study guide that started it all. Overkill? Maybe. Just trying to be thorough, like Mike, Troy and Tom back at St. L. always were.

Why this photo (follow the link)? Because, when I was at school, I never saw the stadium this full. Oh to be back in the Sunflower State these days...

I've been riding my bike to work (semi-regularly) for a few months now. I often get into discussions about the safety/legality of certain practices, such as riding on the sidewalk (don't do it) or passing stopped traffic on the right (I guess I should stop). A good summary of the applicable laws in Ohio here will inform the curious.

Ok, now for videos:

At our Oktoberfest, Liesel made cupcakes to celebrate. Here we all sing to Dominic. He knew he was the center of attention, too.


G+G Buschelman send Thomas engines. Dominic rejoices!

Any time anyone says:

Any time Sarahcuda says:

- "yu'know"
- "Canada"

Any time Biden says:

Have a great evening everyone!!!

PS. Did you know Gwen Ifill has a broken ankle?
