So far, we haven't had a single Trick or Treater but we didn't get home until after 7PM so maybe we missed them?

Happy Birthday Samantha.

Fiona is just too cute - thanks for posting photos!

Fiona had a great time tonight. She was a little tired but she did enjoy herself!

Hope you're having a terrific day. We love you!

We're all getting together at Pat's in December!

We'll be visiting with Ann too but on Saturday, December 13th we're all going to head to Southern Maryland and celebrate both Mom and Pat's birthdays.

We should probably RSVP (to me) so that we won't overwhelm Marcie. Right now, I have Mom, Mary, Deb, Ann (her family??), and Kevin (his family??) all coming.

Maureen is still trying to get off work and I think Ann invited Stephen but I'm not sure if they're going to make it.

Thanks for sharing the photos Mary.

Looks wonderful Pat! Looks so much like my property did in Deltaville. Makes me homesick! I know you will love it there. Can't wait to see it in person in December!

Pat had some photos of the house in progress and surrounding land to send me so I thought I'd share them here. We had a chance to visit in September and they have a really lovely location.

Since I'm sharing photos - these are some of the ones I took while we were in Denmark last week.

Way to go Adam, I'm so proud of you!

Thoes are some very beautiful pictures Mary.

Mom

I'm giving all my blogs a facelift today - now if you guys would just use this one more!

I didn't mention that Adam had gotten promoted again - he's now a Cook 1 and then next level up will be a Sous Chef. He was also nominated for the Employee award again (his second nomination) but didn't win. This is a huge thing considering the high service standards that the Ritz Carlton has for their employees.


We're looking forward to visiting again this year - we'll spend 3 nights and leave the day before Thanksgiving. I really love creating new traditions and a visit to the Ritz to see Adam right before the Thanksgiving is turning into a lovely one.

You can see some photos from our visit last year at this link.

And a link for those of you unfamiliar with where Adam works. Take a minute and watch the slideshow on the home page below - it's such a beautiful resort - I love it. Can you believe that November will mark his 3rd anniversary working there (and living on his own!)??!

We're lucky that Chris and Becky are able to join us for dinner and this year Chris will take off for the day and join us in our canoeing/kayaking adventure.

Kara says Thank you all for the birthday wishes and we all send out Happy Birthday's to Brian and Chris! We love you all!

Happy birthday to Brian" again" and Happy birthday to Chris and Kara I love you all

I missed Brian's birthday on Saturday but wanted to wish both boys a Happy 25th Birthday! Hard to believe they've grown up so fast!
