Fall

We are trying to enjoy the fall weather as much as possible. Here is Owen down by Saturday Market and the Steel Bridge.

 

 Henry is not feeling up to riding bikes much... but as we watch Owen ride, Henry enjoys exploring the inside of the van.

 Owen and his new scooter.

 Both boys enjoying the back of the van.

Kidz Run

On Sunday, we went to support Elliott at a charity fun run. While we didn't run, we played at the park and enjoyed a fall morning.

 

 Both boys dressed themselves. I think they look like a longshoreman and a train engineer.

Christina

Christina came down for a visit. The boys love her (as do we).

 Henry has a VERY dirty face of blueberry juice. I think his goal is to see how much he can get on his face.

Fall: inside and out

Henry is getting really good at puzzles. Especially when there are trains, firetrucks AND excavators!

 Owen enjoying a fall day. Throwing dry leaves is quite fun.

Halloween

This year for Halloween, we had Thor and a fireman. I realize that this is similar to  last year's costumes... and one may be the exact same. But, the boys loved being superheroes again.

 

 

 We continues a few Halloween traditions. The first being a stop to Robert and Michelle's house for the first knock on the door. Paige and Presley were a beautiful princess and vampire.

 

Next stop, the Podpah's for chili. I love all the expressions on all four boys faces.

Bob and Amy joined us for trick or treating. Henry made it to about six houses... Owen a few more. He likes giving away candy much for than working for it.

New Blog

Owen has become quite the photographer. We gave him an old camera of ours, and he has taken up photography. With over 500 pictures piling up on the camera, I've decided to start blogging his pictures. My goal is to catch up on his pictures, weeding through 500 takes some time. He tells me a story about his pictures. The blog is (mostly) in his words. The pictures are all his.

Enjoy.

Beach Time

We enjoyed some great beach time at Lincoln City. The rental house was huge, so Bob, Amy, and my dad joined for the two nights. Unfortunately, mom was sick so stayed at home. On Saturday, both Jill and Suzi's families joined for the day.

 

 Owen loved playing in the COLD waves.

 Henry was very happy hunting for rocks.

 The beautiful patio of our house. And two boys capturing the sunset pictures.

 Another day, another beach trip

 Henry drawing a line in the sand

 Love.

Owen found a sand worm while we were digging a hole. (look right where he is pointing)
