I guess if some of you read my personal blog then this will all come as a disappointment, but: here are our pumpkin carving pictures from last year! haha, sorry, we may or may not take pictures this year, and Milo was just so cute in these...
Milo and Nolan having boys time ;)

Milo inspecting his little pumpkin:


Nolan is at his conference in Boston as we speak, and I am here holding down the fort and awaiting his return. He said it's so pretty there and I am super jealous. Imagining things like walking down the streets of Boston admiring the fall colours, wearing a thick scarf and sipping a coffee. Of course I have all of those hear, except for the fall colours...(oh and my coffee today, I am avoiding that!)

This weekend our parents (all of them!) will be at our house for at least a little while, though his are actually staying the weekend and mine are only dropping by for dinner :) And we are all going to a Ducks game on Saturday, so that should be fun. Happy Halloween!

October

It is maddening to try and think of something original to write in here after writing in my other blog. Not too much is new...Nolan is flying to Boston to present at Harvard, etc. this weekend for his summer research. If they pick up his project, he could possibly be flying to Turkey to present sometime soon! woohoo! I, on the other hand, am taking this solo weekend to go up to Placerville to visit and relax. I may go to a football game, I may stop by Davis, and I may bring Milo. All of this is up in the air, depending on whether I get Friday off or not. We shall see!

Nolan also had his big immunology test today, and now he has a 4 day break to relax! A much-needed and deserved break, too. So he will be puttering around, getting stuff done and actually having a life for a few days before he heads to Boston. We here at my work have been coping with the market downers, and trying to make sure our clients have their feet steadily on the ground. So far things are looking good! Magley is in good hands :) This means work has been alternately really slow and really stressful, but things are starting to even out a little bit. I am still loving my new position and the results I get to see from my daily work.

I guess that is all I can really say for now. Hopefully I will have more news/drivel to write about soon!

A few pictures... :)

Since I rarely post on here, I thought now would be a good time to update a few pics. We had a triple date with some of our friends a week ago, and here is the proof...

Nolan and the boys:


I'm not entirely adept at posting pictures...but I tried. We're going to have to improve our picture skills, apparently, since it is almost time to think about taking a picture for our Christmas card (okay so maybe we have another month or so), and we have to trump last year's...which I think was pretty good. Maybe we'll include Milo in this one; that earns points, doesn't it?
