Our month was spent in many of the usual ways. School, soccer, ballet and scouts meant lots of driving around. We also began guitar and piano lessons which filled our home with complai--I mean beautiful music. One Saturday we took a trip to Huntington Beach and enjoyed Ruby's on the pier followed by a little gelato. We took full advantage of the warmer temperatures here and spent a lot of time playing outside. It was lovely although deep down I must confess that I missed the fall colors.
After a couple years away, it was a lot of fun to celebrate Halloween here. I think the kids were a little blown away by it all. There was a school parade, primary activity, trunk-or-treat, party with friends and lots and lots of candy. Too much if you ask me. Some of the treats went to pay mommy and daddy taxes, some went to the Bishop to pass out on Sundays, some ended up in their bellies and the rest...in the garbage. With so many holidays in America, we are never short on candy and treats.

1. There is no such thing as too much candy.
2. Those pictures of Ellie and Alex need to be blown up and framed. Be still my heart.
