It has been a very busy fall and even thought there has been a lot to post about, it is not getting done.  So I am not going to try to pick up where I left off and go on and on, but I wanted to add some pictures so I feel complete about it.  

Emma made this cute little sign that hangs from the chandelier in the dining room.  She is our spontaneous decorator, usually bringing in all sorts of things from nature to create nice centerpieces for the table all year long.

A family outing to the Folsom Renaissance Fair was a lot of fun.  It was unbelievable how they turned the city park into an old village.  The wild chickens, peacocks and other animals that live there next to the zoo made for an authentic experience. Noah and Daegan had a blast firing a cannon in a reenactment.

Halloween was felt over by the time it arrived this year.  Lots of parties and dress up days beforehand and Noah decided he didn't want to trick or treat, but stay inside and pass out candy.  He only missed some raindrops and Daegan getting burned out after about 20 minutes.

Noah was obsessed with the fog machine, spending countless hours turning his room, the bathroom and the playroom into a haunted house.  I could totally see him as a special effects guy when he grows up.

Todd and I got a much needed weekend away in Tahoe with our good friends the Petersen's.  We climbed this amazing rock above Glenbrook, the town where we stayed. You can barely see the houses below.  There were amazing panoramic views from there and we had perfect weather that was so unusual for this time of year.
