Hey there,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy October!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started the month by going to a Blue Angels show and to the Evergreen Museum so the kids could see them up close and personal. While at the museum we also got to see a part of the Berlin wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this, it was off to work for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later we cleaned up around the house and Luca got too tired by all the activity. He snoozed at the table playing with some cars. If anyone wants to get a Christmas present for the Boys: we were at Costco and saw this collection of Hot Wheels monster trucks. They both wanted it very badly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We also went to the Blazers Fan Fest as well. The kids were excited to get some face paint – not as much as the actual game or seeing players – no… more by the face paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Blazers news – Dame was traded to the Bucks. He should be happier playing for them. The kids don’t prefer him much and I can say that his whole loyalty speech and everything else.. while getting paid millions…. fell on deaf ears. He said he wants to come back to the Blazers, probably after winning a ring, however, I don’t know. I suppose it’s time to move into the next era of the Blazers, without Dame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ah well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

until next time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
