Another fun filled weekend. This is the result of our annual tradition of carving pumpkins with the Timm family. As you are starting to see Brian and I like tradition and have started a few since we got married. This is the third year we've carved pumpkins and made a night out of it. Uncle Ed came over this year and Brian made a delicious stew while we watched football and carved our pumpkins. Last year we had Brian's parents here for a visit along with good weather so we got to go to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins and do the corn maze. They have a really neat area up north where they set up a corn maze in the shape of Washington. You get a map and they have things marked like the space needle, Mt Rainier, the Peace Arch, etc... and you locate them in the maze and it gives interesting facts about each place. Great for kids on field trips, but fun for us too. We would have liked to go again this year but the weather was crummy so we just got pumpkins from the local store. Saturday night we went to a party over at our neighbors for their annual Rosstoberfest (their last name is Rossi) and had a great time. Daniel (our neighbor) makes an excellent pulled pork that he's won first place with in competitions. We were hurting that night as we both ate way too much. You can't stay away though, it's so good! Saturday morning we got our car seat check at Children's hospital so we're all safe and ready to head home from the hospital as soon as she gets here. We didn't have any expectations really, just that the car seat would be in properly when we left, but not only did they do that they taught us how to fasten her in properly, how tight the seat belt should be, angled the car seat so not to restrict her airflow. We were there for about 45 minutes and felt very educated when we left, so we're happy we did it. Then on Friday after the whole fiasco with me getting caught in the rain Brian decided to take me out to dinner. My grandparents had sent us a gift certificate to Olive Garden for our anniversary that we hadn't used yet, so we decided to go there. We had a great time and enjoyed time just the two of us, oh... and ate way too much again. Thanks Grams and Gramps.

The carvings look great, not a surprise at all. I thought about you all up there and doing to tradition. But You know I will be there next year for the whole family to be together for our little ones first. The shower for me tonight was wonderful. I can't wait to share the things we got with the three of you. Love you three and can't wait to see you all. xoxoxox
