Just an update....

We have been busy since school started for Alex and me. Homework, school activities, meetings, homework. But we did take the time to do a few things over the last few months. Unfortunately, I have not been a great photographer, so I don't have much record, but here is a few.....
My brother Charlie got married on October 10th. It was a beautiful, backyard wedding, full of friends and casual merriment. I love Charlie to pieces, so I am so happy for him, and I absolutely adore Heather, so a bonus all around.

We took Alex camping the next weekend. I forgot my camera, naturally, so I had to rely on people taking pictures for you. Bummer. We camped for two nights with 4 other families from our block with children between 4 months and 6 year. 10 adults, 8 kids. super fun. We went around the lake in a canoe, on a tarantula hunt, and Alex and David hiked a very steep hill. On their way down they stumbled across a completely clean "deer cactus," as Alex said. "Deer Cactus?" I thought.... "Deer Carcass" David clarified. Oh. Gross. Then, she proudly whipped out, from behind her back, the leg she had brought back for me. Double. Gross. Tragically - no photos of said leg.

Sword fighting with sticks....

After being whacked while sword fighting.
A VERY early in the morning shot of me and my friend Rebecca. She lives down the street with her cutie kids. Alex loves to play with them.

More to come post Halloween!
