Autumn Check-In

Well, it's time for my semi-regular self-flagellation where I apologize for being behind in the ol' blogging.  But I've been busy.  Honest!

We got back from an awesome summer break (which I've only just begun to document here...), lived life for a few months, and now we're ending another fantabulous vacay.  But this isn't about that getaway.  It's about the last few months.  And it's a quickie.

Let's see...what's in the ol' picture bin...here we are before the annual approximately-3k run at school.

Here are a few mediocre pics of the kiddos enjoying running up and down the berm by our house.  The actual reason to include them here is so they look at them in 10-20 years and one of them says, "Oh yeah, I remember that place" and tries to explain it to the other two who can't recall it at all.

Artsyness time!  Here's me documenting some local shopping at a crazy tangle of strip malls called Los Pueblos.  Fun fact: the parking lot is the only way to get from one busy street to another so it's always extra trafficky; there are actual bus lines that drive the route.

And just in case you don't already follow me on twitter, here's a pic of a scarab beetle that greeted me on my way to class one day.

A couple weeks ago Sarah and I had the opportunity to attend a charity dinner at the top of the No-Longer-Trump Tower of Panama.

Our favorite branch on our favorite jungle hike.  And the twins' favorite backyard pastime. 

And then one of our friends published a novel and we went to the launch party!

Finally, a pic of The Eldest and yours truly taking a break from some cycling to pose in front of the Costa Del Este skyline (which is different than the skyline earlier in the blog, FYI.  Another FYI: Costa Del Este means Coast Of The East, but it also means Coast Of The This, which we all think is funny.)

Happy fall!
