Catching Up…

I know, I know, it’s been way too long since we have posted.  The end of Summer is always so busy for us.  End of Summer?..you say?  Well for us, September constitutes as the end of summer because Patrick is still busy at work, although it feels like it should be slowing down. This year  September ran into, well, November :)  Well here is what we’ve been doing the past couple of months. 

On September 13th, Marley turned 5!

Not a great pic, sorry.

At the end of September, Grandma Katherine so graciously came to help us through Wine and Chile Fiesta Week.

At the beginning of October, Patrick took some vacation time, and although most of it was spent relaxing, we did get out a little bit.

We went to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta for the first time.  It was really cool, although the traffic was horrible. Next time we’ll take the train or go in the morning.

Marley thought this balloon was a crying onion :)

Here are a couple of other pictures of the Balloon Fiesta:

Then we were lucky enough to have Grandma Cathy come to help us take care of the kids at the end of October when Patrick had to cover other people’s vacations.
