Pumpkin Carving

Tonight we celebrated what has turned into our "annual event"..... pumpkin carving! It was very fun- unfortunately Felix was coaching late tonight, so he missed the festivities, but the carving continued. A few of our friends came over with fun snacks and pumpkins in hand. I made a small pumpkin with a heart & bow & arrow through it. It is the tiny one all the way on the left in the pic.

And of course- Matti provided most of the entertainment for the evening acting like the crazy animal that he is.......

Amy & Ariel Wedding

This weekend (5 day wedding bash) was great! Felix had a water polo tournament in MD, so we sent Matti to the kennel and I flew out to Arizona on Thursday morning for Amy's wedding. It started with a great bachelorette party Thursday night, then Friday morning walk thru rehearsal followed by a "bridal party brunch" filled with massages & manicures, then off to Amy's parents house for an open house. Saturday morning I went with Amy and some friends to get their toes painted and then finally made it to the hotel to meet up with my parents, where we went on a 30min car ride with my Uncle who lives in AZ to have lunch together, then Sat evening was a really nice Havdalah service at Amys temple and dinner with wedding guests. Finally the big wedding day arrived on Sunday. It was very nice- it was an Orthodox wedding, and there was a lot of Jewish traditions and dancing.... it was very nice.

Could It Get Any Better???

Mom bought me, Steph, and herself a WebCam!! So now, we get to spend quality evenings looking at each other while we talk. It was pretty cool- one night I got to see Ava walk for the first time. Thanks for the gift mom!!
