Happy Halloween!


Here are some photos of our Halloween weekend. After carving a few jack-o-lanterns on Friday evening, we celebrated Halloween-eve on Saturday with a great party hosted by our friends Reeve, Ellen and Andrew.

from trick-or-treating on Sunday. Jake's pillowcase weighed in at 10 lbs, so it was definitely a good haul!

Our motto this Halloween... TGFDC (Thank goodness for duct tape).

The New York Cousins


Pat was out in New York last weekend and got a chance to visit with his nieces and nephews. Here is a video we just posted of the whole crew. CLICK HERE.

For the best picture, play the video full screen at 720p (the setting is on the video) and it should provide a good quality picture.

Outdoor School (Updated)

Jake and Emily spent last week at Outdoor School, a big highlight of 6th grade for kids in Oregon.

Click here for a photo album that now includes both their big send-off last Sunday and some photos they took with disposable cameras during the week.

We are now a 3-wood-cookie family!

Underwater ...



The competition has been fierce in regard to who got to test-out the new water proof case for our video camera. Clearly, what we really need is a snorkeling vacation... or at least a larger hot tub.

Pumpkin Picking & Apple Pressing


We celebrated the first week of October with a trip to the Pumpkin Patch and an Apple Pressing Party.

We timed our pumpkin picking and trip through the corn maze a day ahead of the rain, so it was both sunny and mud-free. Click here for photos from the farm.


As for the apple-pressing party, a little rain couldn't possibly dampen the fun of DIY cider & donuts. Our friends Mike, Elizabeth, Teddy, Joe & Zanna had picked 1,000 pounds of apples for the occasion! It was a delicious afternoon! Click here for photos from the party.
