My dad and step mom were here and they brought us some "Vampires Assistant" movie garb. My brother worked on the movie and always sends this stuff to my dad for their premiere party that they host in CO. You can see how much Dakota enjoyed the hat:)
She was pooped out afterwards
We ran around in the city and went out for a nice meal....ate fat witch brownies on a street corner bc we just couldn't wait!! We had a terrific time...and we get to head out to CO in just a week and a half to party it up on there turf.
I said I wasn't going to do this with every book I acquire, but this is a special one. I ranted and raved about Krol's other book, Callisto, but I think this one is even better. The 5 second pitch is that it's a postmodern adventure story, but it's really so much more than that. A very entertaining read, but one that stays in your head for a long time. Very thought-provoking. Think of it as Lord of the Flies with adults, or maybe The Swiss Family Robinson on crack. Probably just lost some with that description, but consider yourself warned: this is an intense read. And well worth it. The Dolphin People goes on sale Tuesday, Nov. 17. Buy a copy and tell others about it. It's a fantastic book and deserves a big audience.
We love the fall! The weather, the colors on the trees, all the fall-esque food....it's my happiest time of year. This years seems a bit short and kind of outta wack but that is another story. The fall happens to bring two of our favorite activities each year. Apple Picking and Marathon watching! This year was no exception. Here are a few pics of both activities.
Ms. Radcliff....I believe she came in 4th this year. Gabe was extremely energized for the race (read bouncing off the wall couldn't carry a normal convo during the race). So we didn't get our annual pic together that actually turned out.
So life has been a bit nutsy for us lately. The biggest thing going on is having out of town company in our little- and I mean little- humble abode. Gabe and I are happiest with a full house!
So here are a few pics of the guests.... We really haven't been taking the camera out much~ So these aren't the best. Susan and Curt flew in from NC...didn't get any pics of all of us! My dad and step mom came in from CO Our friend Peter from High School also spent a night with us this past weekend...and my college roommate heads this way tomorrow!
This is what Dakota has been doing while we entertain
By my husband... For those of you who have no clue what Gabe is talking about in the below post- neither do I....that is a picture of Duke's basketball team. Gabe went to Carolina and as you can guess they are big rivals in NCAA basketball. Please note: Carolina won it all this past year:)
But for my faithful followers I must give you what you really want...pictures of our girl;) Ok maybe not but here you go. I decided to torture the girl for a few minutes and put a turtle neck on her.
