Last Sunday morning Chris and I and the girls went for a walk in the woods and to the park and for pastries. It was so nice out. We collected leaves. It was magical to be out there alone in the autumn woods on the river. We were all happy and Chris was part of it. I swung with the girls - they giggled and om'ed and held out little yoga meditation hands. I closed my eyes and the sun shone through my lids and I let go of my thoughts and felt an uncommon peace.

This Sunday morning we are moving to our new house. Our first house. We're mostly packed and a lot is already there, but the hot mess just keeps flowing from nooks and crannies. We've been here for four years.

We had a nice Halloween yesterday. We went trick or treating in the old neighborhood with Ray and Nicole and Dad and Violet. I said goodbye to Phyllis and Pam. Then we met Dan and Tania and Dad and Violet came with to trick or treat in our new neighborhood. There are a lot of cute elderly ladies there and a nice couple next door. Aunt Chris and Aunt Lisa and Brittany dropped by and they all gushed about our new house. I was happy. I'm glad they liked it.

We went to a memorial for Grampa's first birthday since he died. It was nice to spend the time with family. Can never pile too much onto one day. Still emotionally exhausted from the closing the day before. The seller was so scary. The girls went trick or treating with mil at the old ladies' club while we closed. Then right after, my mom and I trucked them to the woods, in the rain, to trick or treat with the unschoolers, where I dropped my camera and broke the lens.
