Scarlett (a bumble bee) and Chloe in front of Joe and Shana's big pumpkin.







Chloe and Eli. They were Mary and her little lamb for halloween.


Well now that the elections are over and my blood pressure has gone back down life is going back to somewhat normal again. Discussions around the house are keeping pretty close to normal ranges. Don and I, along with Jim, Alyssa, Lukie and Mia, went to Newport Beach for a week. Naturally it was during the horendous Orange county fires (Newport Beach is in Orange County). They were burning all around us but all we got was smoke. The air was really really dry but really really sunny and nice. We got home yesterday and Joe, Shana, Chloe, and Eli came over. We haven't seen Joe for a couple of weeks as he was deer hunting and didn't get back until after we were gone. He has quite a beard going and I'm kicking myself for not getting a picture. Maybe Shana did? Juan and Scarlett popped in too (Cari was teaching), they headed out today for Maui for the Thanksgiving week. We are going to have the family over for Thanksgiving this year, about 28 adults and 6 kids, 4 babies and 3 workers. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, eh! Here are some new pictures. Unless I've developed a tic in my eye, I'll put some up from Thanksgiving. haha
