It's pumpkin carving time!!

Isabelle and Sebastian posing with our pumpkins

Going on a hayride in our neighborhood on Halloween.  Sebastian is dressed up as a Jedi Knight, Isabelle as a princess (she was going to be a blue bird but changed her mind at the last minute), and Gunnar is dressed up as a German!  I (Maria) was the photographer so there's no picture of me but I was dressed up as a bunny.  Later, when Gunnar took the kids trick or treating, he put on one of our moving boxes (we have plenty!) and actually dressed up as a moving box!

Below are a couple pictures of our new house

Below, we are beginning our climb up Pinnacle Mountain (a beautiful state park just 8 miles from our home).

The view from the top of Pinnacle Mountain.  Beautiful!!!!!

Below.... Sebastian decided to take apart and study an old blender and phone.
