Halloween Parade at the Park City Co-op

Kaitlynn is going as a bee for Halloween this year and she’s already worn her costume to two different events, a birthday party and her schools’ Halloween Parade (even though it was a few days early. Here’s some of the fun:

Fall video update

So, as to be expected, it’s been a crazy busy end of summer/fall here at the Hoffman household. Kristy underwent some elective surgery last month (on my birthday mind you), so it’s only appropriate IMO that it rain/snow today on her birthday! Actually we wound up going to a fundraiser for Kaitlynn’s school at a local gym and it was there that I took a video that I think sums up what the last few months has been like:

Round and round and round!

We’re Married Again (sort of)!

Well, we’ve been married for over 9 years, but I (Eric) managed to lose my original wedding ring in the Pacific Ocean off a beach in Hawaii 2 years ago in June. After browsing off and on, I finally got a replacement ring that both K and I liked, check it out, just got it last night!

How’d it get to be Spring?!

I’m on day 1 of my five week “May Away” time, in which I get to take a nice chunk of time off from work. Yeah, I probably spent  good hour doing work related tasks, but heck, it sure beats heading into the office. Since I’ve got the free time, I’ll try to run through a quick catch up of what’s we’ve been up to, here it is in photos, enjoy!

And, since I am off for a few weeks, check back a few times as I am going to try to get caught up with some other updates here too! 🙂

Kaitlynn and Santa rd 1 2009

After last year, when Kaitlynn (and most of her friends) didn’t understand that the jolly looking fellow in the red suit was someone that they should be happy to see. It was a pleasant change to see their reaction on the first (of several) Santa meetings. Here, Kaitlynn tells Santa that she wants lots of “presents” for Christmas this year!

New Addition to the Hoffman Family

Kristy has been on a mission for the past several months (or so it seems to me), so it wasn’t a huge surprise to be ‘shanghai’d’ to Furburbia this afternoon to check out and eventually adopt a little 14 week old kitten that was called “Avani” but will now go by, “Sadie”.
Here’s a few pix of the day:

2009 Midwest Trip

It was great getting back to Chicago and Michigan to see friends and family last month. We spent the first half of the trip in Chicago with Grandma Judy and Papa and we were joined by Wilson, Kathy, Colette, Adele and Grandma D for various parts of the Chicago time. We enjoyed great dinners each night at the Grand Lux Cafe, Brasserie Jo, Capi’s Italian Kitchen, The Indian House and Joe’s Crab shack respectively.

Kristy, Kaitlynn and Grandma D let Chicago via Amtrak, while Eric arrived in Grand Rapid two days later via an ‘interesting’ itinerary – to Detroit on a delayed flight that arrived in Grand Rapids at the same time it arrived in Detroit (they added a new plane in Detroit as the one out of Chicago was so delayed). But, Eric made it eventually and a great time was had by all in Grand Rapids as well.

Looking forward to next year, enjoy the photos from this year:

Kaitlynn Goes to the Circus and gets her First Hair Cut

Here are a couple more Flickr photo sets! We just got back from Kaitlynn’s first ever hair cut, ok, it was more of a trim, but still…she did great with no tears and even a smile or two, here she is:

Also, Kaitlynn and Kristy went down with her buddies Brooke and Kyle to the Circus a few weeks ago and we got a few photos from that fun time posted too:
