Trick-or-Treating 2009

Big thanks to Laura and Samantha for joining us tonight for trick-or-treating. (We missed you Bruce!) A great night and who knew how well tomato bisque would go with dark chocolate Reeses. A few neighbors really stepped up the decorations, but one house was so scary even Jess would not go to the door.

Lovin' The New School

And a quick moment to comment on how much I love the new school. A few shots taken whilst at the Halloween celebration. A very cool project was up in the hallway. All the students had a partner and they told the partner about themselves, and then they each had to write a story and illustrate each other. Loved it. It was a two-tissue moment.

School Halloween Celebrations

A festive half-day at school with Halloween games, parades, pizza lunch and parent participation. Great fun watching all the classes in a mini-parade in the gym.Then back to the classroom for lunch and the most amazing cupcakes I have ever seen. Not sure exactly what Jess was for Halloween, but it was some kind of goth fallen angel ensemble. Whatever she was, it was a very fun day and now the countdown until trick-or-treating begins.

Fun Shots From TPT

Jess had no shortage of fun at TPT this year. As I sift through the many thousands of shots, I'll pull the good ones of Jess (although, aren't they all good, I think they are). And big props to Sharon for dealing with giant flamingos. Those buggers did not want to stay inflated.

TPT Is Over For Another Year

We're back after our usual TPT hiatus. It's a Black Hole at the Nash house for 2-3 months, but another year is done and we look forward to getting back on the blog with photos. Coming soon . . . updates on the arrival of a Nash family addition - currently named PJ. We are on a quest to find the perfect Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - a tri-color female. No confirmed puppy yet, we have to find a good breeder, but we hope soon. Here's a pic of what we are looking for.

Halloween 2009

Halloween in Los Angeles wouldn't be complete without a trip to the pumpkin 'farm' in Culver City. Good fun with Addie getting pumpkins and feeding the livestock. More pics to come of our cool pumpkins once we finish carving.

Our First Soccer Season

Despite some strong protests, Adrian managed to convince Jess to join a soccer team this summer. After two practices and one game, Jess loves it. Skills need some work since we've never played, but having great fun learning the game.
