Halloween and Pet Sightings

Hi everyone!

Duncan here, for a rare turn at blogging.

We just threw our first party at the house, a Halloween shindig that brought about 30 people to our little abode. It performed admirably, and a good time was had by all (except perhaps the owners of the three cars that got broken into, but even after that the party refused to die!).

Here are some pics from the night, and some other random ones of the children. Enjoy!




Mosa staring off into the distance, contemplating the existential conflict of both wanting to eat squirrels and to love them.

We're doing the Real Simple "Four Week Dinner Plan," and this is one of our favorites so far. Lamb and apricot meatballs, quinoa, fresh veggies, and of course feta.

Mosa is... still learning soccer.

Moki in a tray. Win.

Mosa as a squirrel, a cruel irony that I found much joy in laughing at.

He played the part all too well; 20 minutes in, he had devoured the acorn.

We still have like 40 beers left. I'm only one man, people.

My jack-o-melon.

This captures my dad in his essence, somehow.

Whitney, too, played the part of Amy Winehouse all too well. We found her 3 hours later on the roof.

Brooke who, with her Tech pals, dressed up as elements of a circuit board. She is an inductor, or an "in'duct'or" as I so cleverly punned.

Engaged in deep conversation.

A-list party, we got a pair all the way from Chile!

Paulo spent months growing that beard.

Dynamic duo Percy and Xena Williams, wearing their Tim and Donna costumes.

For some perspective.

Another pun in the making, a resister becoming "irresistible."

This sums up the party's awesome.

We found little pieces of Brian all over the yard the next day.

The party don't stop till they break in...

That's our month, thanks for stopping by! (And if you can't tell, I got a new camera, so look forward to more picture posts from me!)

The Sky Is Incredible Tonight!

Duncan and I went on date-night, and like a special treat, the sky was insanely gorgeous. I snapped these pictures with my phone and tried to photoshop them a little, but they still don't even come close to capturing the colors. Thanks, God, for something so beautiful.



The view from Hillside (our street!)




The view at Candler and Glenwood, or somewhere there abouts
