Adopted Mommy

What a fun filled day we had! Orignally we had planned with a few friends from high school to meet up with all the kids at the Pumpkin Maze in Lathrop. As it would turn out, some people became ill, including Jeff! There is a major flu bug going around! (Katarina and Dina are thankful they already were given their flu shot this season) With all that being said, our group was very small. It was still important for Daddy to get some rest, so Mommy decided to take Katarina along with another "band geek" friend and daughters. It was such a blast for the kids!
