Ok, I am back...my husband decided to buy a new computer (finally he got the mac he's been wanting) and it has taken me some time to get used to using it for photos and blogging, but now I can say that I love it (after many frustrating hours of figuring it out)!! Plus, with getting everything ready for the arrival of our new baby (my c-section is scheduled for Nov 18, but I won't complain if she wants to come earlier than that), Mia's many hours of homework and school projects, October/Halloween and its many parties and preparing for 2 big birthdays (Jason and Lily) - life has gotten away from me over the last few months.
So, I am going to try and do a quick catch up...
A few weeks ago we spent a morning at the pumpkin patch finding just the right pumpkins for carving and for Mia's school project.

Here is Mia's Pout Pout Fish pumpkin for school - she was one of the winners for first grade!

Another one of Mia's projects - a diorama of the desert. She got to pick an animal, and she went for the camel.
