hey there<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been a mostly quiet month so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took Ezra to an eye clinic, and they’ve encouraged us to encourage him to wear glasses. That’s not a fun fight with a 10 to 11-month-old. Alas, we like a good fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOAA has been forecasting the Northern Lights to make another appearance here in Oregon. We took a trip out to the same location where we successfully saw them last time (only a mile or two from the house) and ta-da! We got to see them again. Not quite as colorful as earlier in the year, but still super pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the morning, we got up and little Ezra crawled up on a fan and stuck his fingers in it. Well, after that, we got to see some blood. So thanks to that incident, we are having him wear a sock over a band-aid so he doesn’t rip it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day, we went to our annual pumpkin patch at Liepold’s farm. It was fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We even ran into someone that Sky and I knew in college, Alan. It was good to see him- he spotted me and out of nowhere I heard someone say “Hey Jason!” I was confused. Who would be looking for me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, we met his wife and his kids. Ended up spending a lot more time than usual at the patch. It was ironic because they’ve been going for as long as we have. They only go for the same reason we do – the mortgage company that we used has a friends and family day. Weird we have never seen them, but we can’t say that anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kids took to their kids. Elijah with his boy and Arabella with his girl. Luca kinda just tagged along with Elijah and we were carrying Ezra around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s about all I have to say about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
