Posing

Before the move to Boston I visited the Campbells.  Rebekkah got a new haircut and was very proud to show it off.

Fun at Auntie Jodie's Wedding

Blowing in the Wind

This was taken by one of Kevin's friends of the wedding site.  Really captures the look we were trying for.

Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater

This morning Rob and Elisabeth woke up to several missing and one chewed up pumpkin.  Tonight they heard the neighborhood dogs barking and peeked out side to see this guy and two of his buddies munching on their replacement pumpkins. 

You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life

The Haunted House (a ride we usually go on because there is no line and we get to sit down) was amazing inside and out.

Burpees and Quilt

Tonight while I was looking for pictures to scan for Jodie I came across our wedding pictures. 

Yes, I was 12 and he was 14

Oh Butter Boy

I got this little gadget in Maine.  You insert butter in the center and you can butter your corn perfectly.  I also used it to butter the tops of my blueberry muffins and it worked wonderfully.

The LA Garment District

Yesterday Debbie and I decided to fly over to LA and drive to the garment district which we heard was a wonderful place to look at fabric. We had a great day but were majorly disappointed in the garment district. It was like Chinatown only dirtier and hotter. As we were abandoning our plan we turned out of the parking lot and were immediately delivered into the most wonderful area full of low priced beading materials. We spent the rest of the day looking at beads and had a really great time.
