As most of you know, on the afternoon of Halloween our neighborhood was hit with a terrorist attack. Due to this horrific situation, I wasn’t sure if I would publish this post, but decided to just share our experiences, which seems insignificant compared to some of our friends. It was…

With the fall comes Halloween, with a build up to the holidays, and weeks if not months of annual traditions. Apple and pumpkin picking have become a family favorite, and this year, Siella was begging to go for weeks. Finally last weekend, we managed to squeeze in a few hours…
