Some October moments

"It's just a picture in a book, please don't fight about who's horse that is"......"we don't take our clothes off while we are eating dinner"...."stop playing the recorder.  you just saw me put the twins down for a nap"...."there is no wolf under your bed Lily, promise".... - random things I say more than once on a typical day in our house.  

We have a lot on our minds which makes sense knowing we only have two months left in Munich before our next chapter begins in Portland.  We are struggling to find a home in Portland which sure is a lot more time consuming and draining than I expected it would be.  It's a bitter sweet exit from Munich  - feels like I'm leaving before my time here was supposed to be done but happy that if we need to leave, our friends in Portland await us.  

Here is the rest of our October in pictures.

Took Paul and Elise to Koenigsplatz at about the same age I took Lily there on an unusually warm Fall Munich day.  Deja-vu.



Love this series of shots being silly with Elise.  She really nailed copying my expressions.





 This is the closest we got to a pumpkin patch.  Nice old lady on a small farm with her front yard full of pumpkins and squash.

 Elise thinks the tractor is a race car. She's ready to pass.
 Halloween.  Elise is a bit overwhelmed but looking so cute in her flying unicorn costume.
 Roar.
 Threw a Halloween Eve party with Lily's friends.  Was fun introducing some of the traditions of the Holiday to them.
 Out for a family walk on our usual Englischer Garten route.
 Lily playing some tennis.  Looks like she has a killer backhand slice.  Let's just leave it at that. :)

  1. Yeah, I can imagine how you must feel with your time ticking down in Munich. Sad. But we are indeed so excited to see you back in Portland soon! Also, Elise's curls are amazing. Can't wait to see them in person. :)
