home again....

fiRst things fiRst, we had to take the fRidge apaRt to find out wheRe all the gRoss dRipping wateR

was coming fRom. 2 Rolls of papeR towels lateR, it was clean enough.

we had to kill some time waiting foR the sofa to aRRive. 

sunday moRning we took the new waffle makeR on its maiden voyage

we aRe about as unpacked as we'Re going to get. 2 boxes of the little things that i have decided

to ignoRe but that's it. not too shabby.

Oh yEah....

befoRe it got all cold and unhappy, we went on a hike with my MOM.

going up wasnt too bad and look at that view. down was anotheR stoRy.

pUMkin CaRving!!!

i'm not a huge halloween fan by any means, and Ryan is in the same boat,

but i do like to caRve pumkins. i'd had the face for mine picked out foR weeks

 i'm a little moRe tRaditional with my scaRy face pumpkin and Ry is all boy with

his tRibute to the TRANSFORMERS



fUN with the kIDS

we've been tRying to make the most of ouR octobeR.

gina bRought up heR new little man, KASTLE, foR heR baby showeR

and so that he could meet his cousin, HARTLEY, who is just one week oldeR.

 Ryan and I spent the day with my sisteR, SARA, and heR kids.

we went to GARDENER VILLAGE, wheRe halloween is in full swing.

but fiRst we all went to CHERRY HILL foR some mini-golf.

aRm a little kid with a club, sounds like a good idea, Right?

 this is a legitimate feaR of mine...in case you wanted to know



BIG D and the KIDS TABLE

 one of Ryan's all time favoRite bands is Big D and the Kids Table. they Rock in the SKA vaRiety

and put on a supeR good show.

Ryan was Really excited to meet dave, the leading man. yea foR cell phone pics in the daRk Right.

LOOk How CRafTY we aRe

i haven't had a head boaRd since i was in jR. high and i decided that it was time to have a grown up bed. headboaRds can be spendy though. my sisteR julia tuRned me on to the idea to make one and i Ran with it, dRagging Ry along as i tend to do. but look how good it tuRned out. go us!

REASON #45 FOR LOVING RY:

in the midst of the chaos and stRess that comes with moving, Ry decided to build a foRt.
