Hi there!

So I was asked why I have a ghost blog but don't have my own personal blog, you know, the type with family photos and all. I used to. And it was a fun way to keep in touch with friends and family. But unfriendly, unhappy people frequented it too and I stopped posting. Now that unfriendly or unhappy people don't matter much anymore, it makes no sense to not have a blog. So here it is! I have a myspace page too that anyone is welcome to visit me on if you are over there.

Where to begin... I guess where we are. Oregon - getting ready for Halloween - enjoying the totally wonderful fall weather we've been having. We are having a halloween party for the kids and their friends on Friday. Halloween is supposed to be scary. What's more scary than that?

Here's some pics of the kids that I took at the playground.







And then there's Sarah driving. Scary really. Okay not so much. If you've not met Sarah, she's our 17 year old neighbor/adoptee.



I have great pictures of them all (and Braden) at the beach. I'll post them when I scan them in.
