Greetings all. We are slow to update our blog and gallery. I just added several recent pictures. We’ve been so busy. Oma was just here for two weeks. Joe, Caryl and River, our friends from Missoula, visited from their new home in Vermont. Mary and Kate, from Berkeley, visited here on their trip back East. We made a beautiful Yin and Yang cake for Dare and Sanguine’s birthday. We’ve be making costumes, going to PTA meetings, and trick or treating. We hosted a big pizza party for Sanguine’s early intervention helpers, making 12 large pizza’s and hot chocolate lava for dessert. Our house is getting painted right now and we are transitioning to inside living as the season is changing. Rainy and Torrent are all pencils and crayons. They do not stop writing and drawing. We’ll have to take some pictures of their artwork and get that up here soon. Josie is still hanging in there, probably wondering when she is going to get back in the spotlight. She is very happy though—the kids make for more left overs and that she really appreciates. This morning she had a biscuit, two sausages and gravy. We got a new table for the dining room that we really love. It seats 8 easily, with 5 chairs and a bench on one side. We have found that the table is the central focus for us as a family and having a nice one feels so good. I will be trying to update more regularly as we get into the winter and all the holiday activities are so fun to share.
