More fall....

I haven't been the best picture taker lately, but here are a few more photos of what we've been up to this fall...

Ashley and Matt at Broder with bloody mary's

Heather and Matt with beverages at Timberline Lodge

Random, but our japanese maple this year has been really really bright red and pretty.

Carmen on Halloween waiting to greet trick-or-treaters. I can't believe you all haven't posted kiddo costumes yet!

The weekend before last I went soaking at these really old, rustic hotsprings out in the gorge with  our neighbor Merritt - this is the main building from the late 1800s. Turned out to be a great girl's day: soaking at a spa, lunch at Everybody's Brewing (one of Fritz's favorite brewers!) and shopping in Hood River (Mom and Morgan know that place!).

This last weekend we had our bay area guests: Hector, Juanita and Sophia stayed with us, and Amanda and Andy stayed with Michelle - one of their friends from the bay area that moved up here that we've become really good friends with. Here is Juanita and Sophia at bathtime the first night on Friday. On Saturday, we all went out to brunch and cooked all day - 12 people for dinner: the 4 out of town guests, Michelle, Bryce/Heather (Bryce is Hector and Ashley's childhood friend and an usher at our wedding) and Letha/Michael (Bryce's sister and her boyfriend).
Our friend Michelle took tons of great photos over the weekend and I'm waiting for her to share them. Such a fun, fun weekend filled with all sorts of laughing, indulgences, wine, pool in the basement, good meals out, etc. etc.

Went to Portland Meadows to watch horse racing on Sunday with the whole group - here's part of the group checking out the horses before one of the races.

Pretty murals in one of the hallways

Dinner at Pok Pok with 9 of us - here is part of the group - Hector, Sophia, Juanita, Amanda and Michelle.  After this we went to Pix Patisserie with part of the gang for desserts and played pool in our basement.
 More photos to come! Fritz/Susanne and Dad/Jean get here next week - can't wait! Sending good healing vibes Mom's way as well. Love you!
