Hanging out

I'm inspired by Susan's latest post to change my own post... it's been up there too long!

Here's what we've been up to lately:

Just hanging out, getting to know each other.
A visit to the San Joaquin Valley.

Looking at raisins drying. The smell of drying raisins and burning grape trays IS fall to me.
Grafitifying Grammie's driveway.
Finishing Søren's baby blanket. It's big and cozy... I might steal it!
Hard to see my pattern here, but here it is anyway.
Celebrating 10 years since our first date! Ate in the same booth as that date! No more Chinese food there, though--it's steak and seafood now.
Emptying out the toybox..."These are your birthday presents, Mom!"
