October 31, 2002 by Seraph in Cortez
If you haven't been over to Mom and Dick's lately you should all stop by. The backyard is starting to look great! Of course, I can say that because I was out there with a crew of three guys working my tail off. Luckily, Jamie and Sam saved me from the dirt and grime and wisked me off to lunch! It was fun to hang out and chat with some of my wonderful family.
Today Isa's is dressing up in her Kitty costume for the third time. It's amazing how long Halloween can be stretched out! I know that once she learns that people will give her candy there will be no turning back. We're prepared for her to ask for more candy day after day.
Happy Halloween and good hunting to all!

October 23, 2002 by Seraph in Cortez
We had one of those weekends where all I remember is cleaning and cleaning and cleaning... At least our floors are now so clean I don't cring when Isa goes ahead and eats the food she just dropped on them!
I was not successful at getting Robbie motivated on the wood floors, but he did finally admit that my idea of packing him and Isa off for a weekend, so that I could get them done, might be a good idea.
We're gearing up for Halloween. Isa is going as a cat, and we have three parties lined up. I'm sure she'll be wired on sugar for a week, as "candy" is a new favorite word.

October 14, 2002 by Seraph in Cortez
Isa made it beautifully through her first weekend without mom and dad. And, mom and dad made it sorta ok without her.
Although happy to see us on Sunday afternoon, it sounded as though Isa spent a fun filled weekend getting spoiled! I suppose it's good for her, considering her parents spent a fun filled weekend spoiling themselves!
We stayed Saterday night at the cost in a cozy B&B, and were treated to a decedent breakfast in the morning. We rolled home early because there was a meeting at our church. We're doing some committee restructuring, which is keeping everyone on their toes.
Dick - the Wonder Man - came over with his man eating weed-wacker and took a chunk out of our black berries. If the weather promises to stay nice I may go and hose them down with poison this weekend. This is also the week we're to start our wood floors, though I'm having a hard time motivating Robbie.

Well, five years ago today was a Saturday
October 11, 2002 by Seraph in Cortez
Well, five years ago today was a Saturday. Friends and family decended on Ashland/Medford for our wedding. Life moved at a slower pace.
Now, life flies by at a mad rush. Robbie and I managed a quick anniversery kiss when he dropped me off this morning, with Isa squealing in the background. We can't decide if we should stay in and watch a movie, or brave the theater on a Friday night. I think the last time we went out to a movie was Harry Potter on Christmas! Now we stay home and read the books.
Slowly but surely we're turning into happy "old farts" (as Yayoe is fond of saying)! What's so amazing to me, is that I wouldn't have it any other way.

October 09, 2002 by Seraph in Cortez
I've been reading bits of Amy Vanderbult's book on etiquette before bed the last few nights. Last nights section was on hosting a dinner with a staff. Not likely to ever happen - but at least I'll know how to boss people with the correct manors.
Last night we had Hanni over for a birthday dinner (without a staff!). Isa was unhappy that she couldn't play with the fondu forks, but I rushed through, eating and playing with Isa, before sneeking out to a slightly nutty church council meeting. I think next time I'll bring my etiquette book!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNI!!!
After a crazy morning at work, I'm sneeking a 30 second break to post. Hanni is coming over for a birthday dinner tonight before I run to my church council meeting. We're having fondu - which should be fun.
Our anniversery is this week, and we're heading over to the coast on Saturday night. On top of that we're trying our first full weekend of babysitting! I'm a little nervous, and I keep trying to think of times we could check in, but overall it should be a nice relaxing weekend.
Next week we're going to try and refinish the wood floors in the living room. We're not quite sure what we'll find under the carpet!

We enjoyed our visit with Adam, Jamie and Sam last night. As soon as I got there Isa became grumpy, so kudos to Super-Sam for making her giggle and shreek with laughter! We realized that hppy children could be loader than cranky children, but as Jamie pointed out, they wore less on your nerves.
At work today I've got the place to myself. I'm hoping to catch up on multiple projects without tripping over anybody. And, if the boss doesn't read this, I might even try to sneek out of work early!

It's 5:35 and I'm still at work waiting for some dumb attorney to call me back! If I ever get out of here, we're supposed to go have dinner with Adam, Jamie and Sam. I had mentally prepared "good things" to cook and bring, but it looks like I'll run by the store for back up goodies. Ahh... the joys of being a working mother.

October 02, 2002 by Seraph in Cortez
We had a great time in Portland last weekend with Raven and Cheikh. It was nice to get out of town for awhile and feel social.
We kicked off October 1st by starting our first fire in the fireplace and chopping wood! We've been gravitating away from the family room, which gets very cold in the winter, and spending more time in the living room. Isa has gone to sleep on the living room floor the last two nights, curled up with a blanket and her doll.
Life continues to be realitivly peaceful.
