Time flies. So fast. So much stuff happening. All the time. Argh! Pushing forward, trying to keep up with the blogging. Feels like moving through pudding…
We’ve moved through the wonderful world of Halloween, with a trip to the pumpkin patch and Glow at the Gardens (the Denver Botanic Gardens), the Bigfoot Festival at the Zoo and a friend’s house to trick-or-treat. Asher was Black Panther, Tessa was Captain Marvel, Riley was a Spartan Warrior, and Emmett was Peter Pan (naturally). Mom and Dad were going to be Medusa and a satyr, respectively, but it was so, so cold outside and the night did not lend itself to grecian style dress. It did, however, lend itself to furry goat legs. So Dad was a satyr and Mom was, well, Mom.
Just before Halloween, Riley turned 10. Yes, 10. He’s so old, as he likes to tell us often, that he’s almost a teen ager. He had a birthday party at Boondocks where he and his friends played laser tag, bowled, and played in the arcade. The day was a hit.
Before that we had more of the greatness that is our lives: some camping, art and theater classes, guitar and uke lessons, swimming and jiujiusu. We’ve had a ton of snow already this year and there’s been lots of snow castle and snowman building and snowball throwing. Things have been good. We are enjoying the little stuff. It’s good to enjoy the little stuff.
Sorry for the truncated update. Read the post about our new fur baby. Keep checking back, we’ll post more soon.
Pigs Out
Some things Overheard Recently:
“Let’s put a pin in this.”
–Asher, in response to Emmett talking about all of the things he is going to be able to do when he is a teenager, in a little more than two years.
“Or, who they choose to be.”
–Tessa, adding to a discussion about how it’s important we embrace everyone for who they are, no matter their gender, their color, or who they choose to love
