Late Fall

We've had a bunch of fall adventures - Julia climbed mailbox peak, Alex did a bunch of bike rides including one to grandma's, lots of little hikes with Maeby, Joanna and John hiked Heather - Maple Pass Loop in the North Cascades. Virtual school and work from home are going ok, although the pandemic is getting worse and worse. We've been tuned into politics this election season and it appears we'll have a new president in January (yay!). Julia has soccer practice twice a week and had 3 practice games, but now the games are canceled due to worse covid numbers. 

Mostly, we all love snuggling with Maeby :) We got her DNA test and she's 26% great pyrenees, 21% chow chow, 13% australian cattle dog, 13% lab, 11% hovawart, 6% russell terrier, 6% chihuahua, 2% jindo, and 2% rat terrier. What a global combination! And she got to meet her brother Bananas again and they had a great time playing. She's now 40 lbs, up from 30 four weeks ago and 20 when we got her. Hopefully she doesn't continue to gain 10 lbs per month!

































Halloween 2020

Julia had a lot of fun planning her "spooky scenes from The Office" themed Halloween. She had graves with clever deaths, a pretzel stand, a beet farm, and a stapler in jell-o. She dressed up as Prison Mike. Trick or treating was odd due to covid. People mostly left candy outside. Julia went to Amanda's where the neighbors mostly had full size candy bars. Alex monitored our candy table for cheaters (limit 2). He didn't get dressed up but did carve 2 nice looking pumpkins.
