a perfect pairing of wine and a camera...

During the summer a living social deal caught my eye and I made a leap and acted on it. It was a camera class that also included a wine tasting. What could be better than that??? So I signed up and finally had some free time so I headed down to Woodinville, camera in hand with no clue what I was in store for. It was a class lead by Cork and Click and it was a blast.

a dogs day...

When we woke up this morning it was raining and Bindi immediately became depressed since she knew that we would not be out for our normal weekend morning walk. Usually if she doesn't get her walk she mopes on her bed for the majority of the day and does these HUGE sighs telling you that you suck for being a wuss and not taking her out in it.

pumpkin patching it...

This past weekend was our annual pumpkin patch family outing. We have been going since Ethan was born and this year we were able to join some friends of ours for a meet up at Craven Farm in Snohomish. Let me tell you that this farm is a great place to take kids. They had a really cool 3-D display that you could walk through telling a fairy tale about how pumpkins were brought to the farm which Ethan went through twice. They also had pumpkin slingshots, hayrides, a petting zoo, and food. Even though it was a foggy day we ended up having a great time searching for our pumpkins.

aloha and mahalo!

Jeff and I just returned from a week on the lovely island of Maui. We did a whole lot of nothing this trip and it is exactly what we needed. Our decisions consisted of going to the beach or going to the pool and we were fine by that. I was even able to finish a couple of books which rarely happens when on vacation.
