Fall Weather Weekend

We've been having a great Indian summer here in the Willamette Valley.

Nice weather for raking leaves and hanging out at a pumpkin farm.

On Saturday we snuck into a pumpkin farm on the outskirts of Eugene that was closed temporarily from an overload of visitors exceeding the farm's capacity.

After a long wait in to buy tickets for the Cow Train, Rowen decided the ride was too much. He had them pull over so he could get off after one lap around a field.

Luckily, we hadn't given them our tickets yet and were able to resell them to someone else.

$3.50 per person for a three minute ride!!!

Hi Mom. Hi Dad.

Hello Everybody,

I decided to start up a little blog to keep friends and family informed on our whereabouts and goings-on out here in Oregon.

I titled this blog "Hi Mom. Hi Dad." because I'm sure my parents will be the most frequent visitors to the blog.

As you can see, we're still the same group of squinting-smiling redheads you all know and remember.

This weekend we took a trip to Grants Pass to stay with Beth (see photo), our lawyer friend who recently moved back to Oregon after graduating law school in NYC.

She made Jessamyn a belated birthday cake and Rowen ate so many jelly beans and so much chocolate cake, we thought he was going to jump on the bed all night long.

Thankfully, sugar highs wear off.

I'm still getting the hang of how to layout photos on this site so look for better photo placement in the future.
