Halloween

We enjoyed a nice round of trick-or-treating! We went with John & Max, friends from Jake's class. Then we picked up two more friends along the way. We are in the midst of a beautiful fall - full of the color of changing leaves. The high desert gave us a only a small glimpse of true season change. The pictures are from Annie class party and neighborhood trick-or-treating. We enjoyed the carving pumpkins - Jake's cyclopse, Annie's shapes and the family favorite - Brian's Harry Potter face.

Lots of Goings On

Once again, it's been far too long. A crashed computer and lax photographing are to blame. A lot of things have happenened since my last post: Jake's birthday; Jake's birthday party with 15 boys and girls at the indoor pool; friends visiting on their way to their new home in Alaska; Aunt Annie's visit from Arizona; an afternoon at the pumpkin patch, including some hilarious apple-bobbing and even a bluegrass band; playing with friends; painting the house (inside) and a new front patio. I only have a couple of pictures. One is to announce that little Annie is now riding on 2 wheels! She's quite proud of herself, as she should be. The other pic is of Aunt Annnie and the goofy kids. There is also Jake and his new scooter, and an adorable snapshot of Annie at Peas Farm for the pumpkin-fest.
