Horsies and pumpkins

Here are the picture from Victoria's Garden (finally). This week has been a crazy busy week, though it seems like I always am saying that! Today was Great Grandma Bloughs birthday so we spent most of the day up in Oceanside to celebrate. She turned 89, which means she was born in 1917. I can't even fathom what our world must have been like back then! It's crazy to think that someone so close to us has lived in a time so far away. One day I will be like that, too. It's scary and exciting and a little mind-boggling all at the same time.

I will be starting to teach cooking classes this Tuesday at Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe. That's exciting and will be a good change to our life, though definitely a bit of an adjustment. It'll definitely be good for our whole family for me to get out of the house a little, I think.

Camille has been quite rambunctious this week, she seems to go through cycles. Usually she is so helpful and willing and curious and fun, but sometimes she goes through these phases where she is just grumpy and mean. I guess we all do. This week she has seemed to be testing the waters a lot and beating up on her sister and getting angry and lashing out more than usual, but God willing we will learn where this energy is coming from and have more success this coming week in channeling it into a more positive outcome. To her defense, I have been going crazy trying to organize the house more (we are still wrecked from the move-in) and make Baby Shower invitations for Chrissy and get prepared for my cooking class while still babysitting Riley, hosting a dinner/ bible study and hosting another dinner on Friday night for out-of-town relatives. Jeremy has had a crazy work week and not been around really at all, so it may all be from lack of attention this week. Anyhooo- tomorrow is a new day, right? :)

These pictures are great- well, the one of Estelle on the horse didn't come out so hot but I had to post it! We are really looking forward to Trick-or-Treating in another week and I'll definitely have pictures of that to put up, too!
