fall 2010
I'm back with another recap. I figured since it's almost Christmas I should share what we were up to this fall.
Warning: this will be a long post.
First, Dave turned 28
In October I helped out at a women's retreat at Camp Shamineau. I was in charge of the decorations.
Yes, we were sweatin' to the oldies
And of course we had work weekend at the cabin
Then the Amos family and Hildens took a drive out into the country and came upon this freaky weird little drive in that was decorated with bears. Yep.
And there was a nature walk
Then I turned 28!
Pumpkins!
Look at those handsome gourds! Is a pumpkin considered a gourd? Either way, let's take a closer look at each one shall we?
We tried to put Olive in a hotdog costume for Halloween but that lasted exactly 3.7 seconds. Oh well.
And finally, this is a picture of my baby cousin at Thanksgiving (and my aunt). Umm...yeah. Too cute for words. Seriously...nothing to say.

3. It also has to do with Disneyland. It really is the happiest place on Earth
4. We had the chance to visit at the end of summer
5. It was awesome

After months of preparation and hard work, the Seeds For Change fundraiser is behind us. For our first attempt at something like this, I would say it was a smashing success! We had a great turn out, we raised awareness for our program and most importantly, we raised some much needed funds to get our program off the ground!
Thank you so much to those that came and supported us! And for those that were unable to make it, here is a wonderful picture recap courtesy of our friend (and I.T. extraordinaire) Jeff Printy.
