Like a chicken with its head cut off

Things have extremely busy for us, so I apologize for the lack of updates. We have had something happening every single weekend in October. Here's a rundown.

• We attended Adult Prom to celebrate the Team in Training girls reaching their fundraising goal. Congratulations! The party was really fun, albeit dramatic at the end, and some of the pictures are priceless. Yes, that is my friend Jacob dressed up as Molly Ringwald (he got extra points for that)

• The next weekend we went to a wine stomping party in Sonoma. We visited some old favorites, like Passalaqua and Armeda and discovered some new ones. On a whim we stopped into Donnatiella. The winery is fairly new and is on the property where Belvedere used to be. The grounds are gorgeous, the ponds full of koi fish, and the tasting room is beautiful. They are known for Chardonnay and Pinot and both were amazing. Then at Hop Kiln, we picked up our box and had the opportunity to stomp grapes. We didn't win the gift basket, but we did walk away with 12 bottles and a wine glass, thanks to Dick.

• Finally, last weekend we attended a wedding for our friends Michelle & John on Saturday and my first 49ers game on Sunday! The wedding was gorgeous, Michelle looked amazing and the firefighters were a treat. I caught the bouquet (also a first for me) and Tyler caught the garter. I'm thinking that was planned, but at least I'm not the only one throwing hints :) On Sunday, we tailgated with some good friends and although we lost the game, it was awesome and I think we even ended up on TV.

• And now, off to Tahoe! We have the opportunity to spend some time with some good friends at a great house. It will be really nice to get away and Friday cannot come fast enough. Good luck to the Team in Training girls who are running their marathon on Sunday. I wish we could be there, but we'll be thinking good thoughts for all of you!
