October

A quick picture of Jonas in the kitchen. He's our little chef.

Judith's friend Addy invited us to go with them on a hike to Patapsco State Park. The boys had to go with me to a work meeting and then we attempted to meet up with Judith and her friends, BUT because we didn't get good cell phone reception we weren't able to connect with them and we ended up taking a different trail.  There is a pretty swinging bridge over the Patapsco River.  We stopped for a picture.  Eventually, we found Judith's group.

 Mike and Ezra went on a Webelos weekend campout.  On Saturday, I took Judith and Jonas to the Maryland Science Center. Unbeknownst to me, it was also the day of the Baltimore Marathon so traffic was horrendous.  The up side was that there were lots of things going on at the Inner Harbor, including Blue Angel fly overs.  Here they are in the background of the picture.

Jonas kept wanting to do the hike to see the waterfall that Judith had done a few days earlier, so we took yet another trip to Patapsco State Park.

So I recently started work at a wonderful, Christian non-profit called The Well.  The Well brings in women from a low-income community called Curtis Bay (just south of downtown Baltimore) and mentors them for a year. They meet weekly with a mentor who guides them in life planning, they attend weekly classes on a variety of topics from Mental Health to Communication, to Finances, the volunteer 2 hours a week, and they attend elective classes for computer skills and more. I have been helping out in an Office Manager position. In October, The Well hosted a Better Together Gala to raise funds.  It was a wonderful event!

 I took Jonas and Judith to the dentist which is usually followed by lunch at Panera Bread.  Waugh Chapel Town Center was decorated for the Fall.

 We attended a Trunk or Treat at Bay Area Christian Church.  Judith was Princess Belle, Ezra was Han Solo and Jonas was supposed to be a headless man, but our Pinterst costume was kind of a fail so he was basically just a guy in a giant trench coat.

 This was a cool ET themed trunk.

This was Jonas' last baseball game.

 Judith was so excited for her Halloween parade at school. Jonas was a baseball player in the parade at school.

Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures from trick or treating Halloween night, but we basically just did our street. Jonas was a clown (that wasn't too creepy even though that's what he wanted).
