Scoutie was Ziggy Stardust for Halloween. Her mom couldn't be prouder. More costumes coming soon!

Anal-retentive eldest daughter counting her Trick or Treating booty.

One of the true pleasures of Fall is kickin' the leaves...

We went to the Woodland Park Zoo Pumpkin Prowl, Scout and I.

Fall has been all about going to Home Depot and fixing up the house, going to Election rallies, late harvest Farmer's Markets and PUMPKINS!

Scout and Grandma Cathryn went out to "The Shack" in La Conner and had an absolute ball--Thanks, Grandma Cathryn! (Photos taken by Scout and Cathryn)

We clean up real nice, don't we? Weddings will do that to a family. No one is supposed to notice that Kellen is wearing a dress for the first time, in like, ever. Nope, no one notices at all Kellen.

Ross takes Scoutie to her first baseball game--go Mariners!

None of us will ever forget Salt Spring Island. A week of no TV, radio, computer or phone. A beautiful warm lake, tons of beach combing, fireworks on Canada Day, new friends, and amazing memories. Expect yearly pictures from this magical place. We've found our family sanctuary!

Orcas, Orcas, Orcas...

Orcas Island was fun, fun FUN~ We stayed at Doe Bay and never wanted to leave.

A beautiful sunny winter day at Discovery Park, just me and my Scoutie.
