Pumpkin Patch and Light the Night

Last weekend we took Sammy to the pumpkin patch to pick out this year’s pumpkin.  Sammy had a blast.  First we picked our pumpkin right out in the field where it grew,
then we took a wagon ride to the petting zoo.  Sammy loved feeding the goats!  Norah was interested a bit too.  On the return [...]

London

We are finally back in California if not entirely back on California time.  We had a wonderful visit.  The flight out was rough.  The seats were very narrow and because we were in the bulkhead the trays came out of the armrests and couldn’t be put up.  The bulkhead seemed like a good idea because [...]

Preparations

Well, for those of you who haven’t heard yet, we are going to London!  It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that we can’t miss.  Jeremy’s cousin has been living there with her husband the last few years, but they will be moving back to the states soon.  So, here parents, Jeremy’s aunt and uncle, are [...]

Norah likes bubbles

It was a nice afternoon, so we went outside so Sammy could blow bubbles – something he loves to do.  We put Norah in her Bumbo seat.  You may have to turn the volume all the way up because I caught this video on my iphone and I can barely hear it at the beginning.  [...]

Gone to the Fair

We headed to the OC County Fair for a fun family afternoon. Thanks go to Eric and Emily for the tickets! We had a terrific time. Sammy loved the food and the rides.  We saw some animals…..he passed on the elephant ride.  Can’t blame him, they are kinda stinky.  He definitely liked [...]

Watermelon Picking

Yesterday we had the chance to go on the Tanaka Farms watermelon picking tour. Our friends Dana and Ilan came along. We had a great time. The tour was good as it usually is and of course we got to pick our watermelons to take home! Sammy and Ilan had a [...]

I can sleep anywhere…

You’d think by the title I am talking about Norah since she goes everywhere with us, but I am talking about Sammy. Recently we got rid of my PT Cruiser and have upgraded to a minivan. Unfortunately it doesn’t have an entertainment system as the PT did, so Sammy has been falling asleep [...]

On the road again…..

Countdown to takeoff has begun. The kids and I will be winging it off to Denver in little less than 3 days. I will try and keep everyone updated!

A Visit to Another Pumpkin Patch

Tonight we decided to take Sammy out to another pumpkin patch. He loves pumpkins! He had never gone at night and thought it was a big treat. e was chasing bubbles all over and trying to pick up the biggest pumpkins. When someone would pass by with a wagon with pumpkins he [...]

The Greek Festival

Tonight we went to the local Greek church for their annual festival. We had all sorts of wonderful things to eat. Sammy enjoyed the music and was dancing around after we ate. The green thing he is holding is a remote control for his car. He calls [...]
