We weren’t even sure we were going to do it this year. Nobody will be home on Halloween to answer the door for trick or treaters, plus we were tired, and the whole thing seemed unnecessary. But I asked the kids if they wanted to carve pumpkins, and to my surprise they DID. Maria and […]
Today was the day, and everything went very well. Tim and his godparents: I wanted a picture of Tim with his cake. Foolishness took over, and it was hard to straighten up. Gifts, with his nephew recording: She’ll sleep like a rag doll on her mom, but wakes up instantly if she tries to slip

Heidi had the idea we should go to this Ninja obstacle course park in Golden Valley. Sounded great to me. It was a beautiful park, lots of fun, kids ate lunch, it was great. When they got tired of it, we moved on to the Pirate Ship Park a few blocks away. Then we came
