Robert spent another week away on business so the kids and I spent part of the time with family down in Cruces.  As usual, the kids had a great time with tios and tias and cousins!  They got all sorts of special gifts from Tia Hilda and their Nina that they brought back for them from their European trip.   Their Nina (thank goodness!) drove back up with us to Albuquerque and spent the remainder of the week with us.  When Robert finally got back,  we took the kids to the pumpkin patch and spent most of the day there.  We came back dusty and exhausted, but it was worth it!  Now we're ready for Halloween!  Hurry it up Aunt Cheryl!  We're ready for some Halloween fun!
