Happy Halloween!

Since it is Miles' first halloween, we thought we would make a big deal out of it. Actually, his school goes trick-or-treating every year to the local businesses and since we are first time parents, we took billions of pictures. Here are a few of the good ones.

And here are some pumpkins we carved with friends one night after Miles went to bed.

Pumpkin Patch

We took Miles to a local farm to pick out pumpkins. Here are some of our adventures.


We ran in to some friends of ours.

Even at something as innocuous as a pumpkin farm, you can still find some scary.

On another note, Miles started crawling last night.

Bubbles bring brothers together

Steve bought Miles some bubbles yesterday to play with and Scooter joined in on the fun. Watch the video of Miles and Scooter enjoying the bubbles together.

Inspired to Run

Last weekend Steve ran his first marathon in Victoria, British Columbia.

As I was waiting for Steve to reach the finish line, I was watching a bunch of people come in and I started to get a little emotional (only on the inside). These people had been running for hours and were still going. I was so inspired, I decided to sign up for my own race. I won't be running a marathon, I'm just going to run a 5k, but it's a start.

For those of you in the Seattle area who would like to join me, I'm running the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. For information, the website is: www.seattleturkeytrot.org
