October 2026

 

This October was one of the sunniest, warmest Octobers we've ever had!  We did all the fall/Halloween things and ended with actual Halloween in Salem (it was on a Saturday this year!) which is the BEST.





Enjoyed a nice hike and campfire at the property (lake had toxic algae bloom- apparently common for the Fall)






Checked out a new pumpkin patch in Montesano 








Isla's first middle school choir concert






Middle School harvest festival 


Our friend's housewarming party







My office


Salem- downtown trick or treating! 

















Avi enjoyed passing out candy and being creepy in the window


September 2026

 September was BUSY!  The kids went back to school and I went back to work, we had our annual family trip to the Oregon Coast and a family wedding in Bellingham!  



Dropping Isla off at her first day of middle school (the bus didn't stop for her)

Fun at the game store

Finally made it to Hug Point, OR- worth the wait!
