The Lederman Kitchen

At this point, Fall 2015 seems like a lifetime ago.  The end of the year flew by for us and by the time the holidays arrived, we had an 18 month old on our hands.   We kicked off Fall with a trip to the pumpkin patch with our friends the Vadas's.  It was a cute farm with a few animals, a play area, hay bails and, of course pumpkins.  The Vadas's also invited us over for Halloween night.  They live in a popular neighborhood for trick-or-treating and since it's probably the last year we can get by without going trick-or-treating ourselves, it was fun to be able to see all the other kiddos coming by.  I made Sydney and owl costume, but wasn't organized enough to make costumes for Brian and I.  She still wears her owl hat and always says "whoo whoo" when she see it.

Our trip back to the US was too short to do everything and see everyone we wanted.  But it was all the time we had so we tried to make the most of it. After Lauren & Ryan's wedding in Seattle , seeing and spending time with friends and family in Portland and the Bay Area was our priority.  Along the way, we squeezed in eating the food we miss and running some essential errands - you know Costco, Target, Banana Republic. We were busy.  And I was pretty bad about getting out my camera.  I know, I can't believe it either.  It just felt so normal being home, spending time with our friends, eating at our favorite restaurants.  I'm full of regrets now.
