Back Home

We landed back home in time for the (post-)Harvest Festival at Los Poblanos Organics, south valley unit. After listening to some tunes by 3 String Bale in the beer garden and checking out the ponies, we headed to the pumpkin patch for yet another photo op.

Austin Pumpkin Patch

After our snowy adventure to the north, we headed south to Texas. Here are some shots of Oggie with pals Bella and Ellie Bay at the St. Richard's pumpkin patch in Round Rock.

Rocky Mountain High

Oggie headed up I-25, straight to Colorado Springs to pay a visit to Aunt Cyndee. We were welcomed by some snowy weather and spent most of the time indoors. Here are some shots when Og and Jess headed out for some frolicking in the snow.

Balloon Fiesta 2009

It's that time of year again. The weather turns and once again it seems as if Albuquerque has managed to select the only week it will receive any rain to host an international hot air balloon fiesta. After the rain yesterday, we had a beautiful morning for watching the balloons. Oggie had a blast with Myla and Eden and two new buddies from Oregon.

Happy Birthday, Daddy-o!

downhill fun!

Ok, so I probably won't win any Parent of the Year awards from this, but it's too fun not to share:

And then they trusted me enough to do it again...

rainy day harvest

Og took advantage of some rainy weather to try out his prized rain jacket that he picked up at a thrift store in Stockholm. While he was busy puddle hoppin', Mom harvested some tomatoes and peppers.
