It's been awhile since my last post so what better way to demonstrate my laziness of writing than to simply post a video!

Sarah and Kahana's Wedding in Hawaii was awesome! Marie took like a gazillion photos on the wedding day and will have to break them up in several blog posts from here on out! - enjoy!

WOWIE WOW WOW WOW! - Hey. now this is snow! Record breaking snow the same week that our prez and al are trying to pitch global warming in coppenhagen... Yes, God does have a sense of the humor! Here's the pics to prove it.
 

Virginia for the most part had been very mild with temperatures sometimes dipping in the 30's. No worries... Big Bear in so-cal get much colder than that! - By talking to the locals we knew it would get colder most likely in February, so we thought we had plenty of time to shop gloves, coats and snow shovels and what-nots..

We've been here for 3 months or so and the kids have been waiting for the snow... daily. We told them that January was most likely the season for snow, but the kids have been praying for it ever since we got here. Evidently the kids prayers are stronger than mine because today it snowed!.

Thanksgiving was pretty neat this year. The weather really felt like late November and leaves had fallen.. something we're not used to coming from Southern California. It would have been perfect if Troy could have been here, but knew he was taken care of in so-cal with Mieke and the Girls. Here's some photos to document the festivities!
 

Yowza! We had loads of fun in DC with the family. It was our first trip and a last minute short and sweet. We got there at about dusk because we spent too much time at the Indonesian Resaurant but we plan on going back when we have some time. It's a quick drive to DC!
 

With many trees comes many leaves.. Being from Southern California we never had actually experienced a real fall. We saw in a short timespan the trees going from green to brown to orange and red. It's really awesome! Here's a few shots of our front and backyard.
 

We were invited by neighbors to their annual Halloween Social Potluck. We had an opportunity to meet the neighbors and share some food. The kids had a blast and made even more friends. All of the kids kinda had a costume except for Sari.. Marie invented a new superhero just for Sari.. Super Bat Girl.. yeah for mom!
 

After finding our way home and cheating death from the scary roadside Mexican joint, it was time to gut and carve the pumpkins!
