Carving pumpkins

Last week we went to Bob's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm and we got three big pumpkins that we got to carve today.

Pumpkin Patch

We got to go the lovely Bob's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch with the kids.

Exciting. We've never gone as a whole family, it's always been with the school while on a field trip.  It was a different experience.  

The kids enjoyed looking for the perfect pumpkin, at least perfect to them.

Our raw adventures in the kitchen

I can't believe that the last time I posted a story was in May.  It's amazing how fast time goes when one is busy trying to keep the kids busy during the nice, hot summer days.

Science fair fun

Going through pictures I saw quite a few from the kids' science fair.

Spirit Wek 2012

I really love my job but I also really miss being present in the kids school activities.

This year, we only caught a few pictures and as you know a picture can say a thousand words.

My little guy and his friend unknowingly decided on the same sport: Golf.  It was just adorable.

A visit from Grandpa

A couple of weeks ago grandpa came to visit us.  The last time we saw him was a few years ago and it was nice for the kids and me to spend time with him.

We didn't do much but we tried to spend as much time with him as possible.  We went on a ferry ride.  We dined out.  It was nice.  The kids are really missing him now.

A girl's theme birthday party

It's been more than three months since my last post and I could tell you why but everything is going to sound like excuses, so all I am going to say is... sorry for abandoning you.
