Two weeks

Well today Jim put in his two weeks notice at his job. Seems kinda weird that at a time when most people are worried about getting laid off here is Jim putting in his two weeks. All for the cause of doing what you love.....

This has been a year or so in the making. As I sat down today and worked on what our new budget will be with us paying an absolutely ridiculous cost for our health insurance .... I got a little nervous.

BUT

I know everything will work out how it is supposed to and that in a few months things will be fine. Between now and then though we will live by an opening line from a Harry Potter movie, "Fasten your seat belt. It is going to be a bumpy ride:)" In a Jamacain accent of course by a shrunken head.

I am very proud of you Jim.

Pumpkins

Well it is October so I better put some pumpkin pictures up. Me and the kids and my parents went over to Engh Gardens. My nice parents let the kids pick out their own pumpkin (within reason of course.) Ethan wanted the biggest one he could find but had to settle for one $10 or less :) Lizzie really didn't care about picking out her pumpkin and just wanted to play. Afton and Lilly were happy to hold their little pumpkins and I think they were just excited to go on an adventure that was not taking the kids to and from school, hanging out in the back or front yard or going to the grocery store.
Thank you Mom and Dad!!!!




I like how Ethan is pointing to his huge pumpkin


At home with everyone's pumpkin treasures

coming attraction....

In a few weeks or so......



Jim took this picture a few weeks ago when the weather was teasing us with a little winter. Ironic that it is 70 degrees outside today.
