We're Back!
It took us a little time to settle back into our new/old life here in San Diego. It seemed at times like we were here for vacation. We spent the first few weeks trying to see everyone and fit in all the things we love to do here. Getting Paul's office all set up and our living arrangements in order. We were busy to say the least. The blog definitely took a back seat. When I would get ready to post, sometimes things would come up and other times it was just to hard to see the old memories. I just couldn't make myself get into it. I even considered weather or not to keep the blog going. After some thinking I have decided it is time to get back to it. I'm finally ready. I don't know if anyone stills reads it or not but that doesn't really even matter anymore. All that matters is that one day I will have these blog posts to remind of what we were and what we've become. How Sawyer and our family has grown and all the memories in between. I'm even hoping one day that I will get motivated enough to turn them into books. I have a lot of catching up to do so please be patient with me. I'm hoping to be all caught up in a couple of weeks. If any of you are still out there I hope you enjoy catching up with the Balcombe's!
Pumpkin carving and haunted house decorating!
We had our dear friends the Dickerson's over for dinner and pumpkin carving. Tre had never carved a pumpkin before. Crazy right? After dinner we got everything all set up and the guys got to it. Erin and I decided to get the kids a haunted house decorating kit to do while we did pumpkins. As you will see there are no pictures of the kids decorating the haunted house. This is for a number of reasons. 1) the kids were only interested in the haunted house to eat the candy. When we told them no more candy it didn't take them long to find something else to occupy their time. 2) Erin and I may be a little on the controlling side and we may have offered more help then the kids wanted. In the end I think it worked out best for everyone. The kids got to spread some frosting, and eat some candy and Erin and I ended up with a haunted house the way we wanted it to look :) Tre and Paul worked and worked and created some of the best looking pumpkins i've ever seen. We laughed and laughed all night. Hope you enjoy the pics.
