Jude enjoying time with his two favorite pets

Jude was off school this week on fall break and he took advantage of his free time to play Minecraft, his latest video game obsession. He had one play date with a friend and also played catch in the park with Marcy a lot as well as jumped on the trampoline.

Anna had her school social on Friday night and she tried out her Halloween costume (a vampire). She seemed to have a fun evening. We were up early on Saturday with Anna having an 8am soccer game in Wheatridge. Jude had a full day of refereeing, his last of this season. He continues to enjoy it and of course loves that he is getting paid $8 a game.

Food group at our house

Our quarterly food group dinners are a long standing tradition. They actually originated in the early 90’s soon after I moved over here and then after a multi-year hiatus we started back up again around 2001. We have been doing these dinners once a quarter since then. It was our turn to host this weekend and Rick decided to take a photo to send to his kids who are off at college. The fajitas and rhubarb crisp were a hit.
