Dear Great Pumpkin,
I am looking forward to your arrival on Halloween Night. I hope you will bring me lots of presents. You must get discouraged because more people believe in Santa Claus than in you. Well, let's face it; Santa Claus has had more publicity, but being #2, perhaps you try harder. A lot of people say you're a fake, but I believe in you. P.S: If you are a fake, please don't tell me. I don't wanna know. -Linus Van Pelt

We are watching It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and smelling our pumpkin spice candles and eating...(soy) cheeseburgers...well cheese is orange, so it sort of fits the theme(?) And our itty bitty is celebrating her first Halloween. She's all ready!We went to a pumpkin patch a couple of weekends ago and she loved it! Proof....

And speaking of fall, well,I finally got around to making a blog button and its fall themed seeing as its oh so beautiful in San Diego. I'm thinking of making a new one for every season. Anyway, if you would be obliged to take it and put it up on your blog or website feel free to do so.

There are so many reasons to love Sesame Street. Here are five of them. I can't wait until my little guppy is old enough to learn and laugh with all my favorite monsters.

The littlest Cubs fan cashed out after an exciting game.

A few weeks back(on September 29th) we took Harper to her very first Chicago Cubs game on . Unfortunately we were unable to make this happen at the ever charming Wrigley Field in Chicago but none-the-less it was fun.

And since we were in San Diego, our friends Michael and Matt were able to go with us. They are Padres fans and thus we were victims of some friendly rivalry and gloating when the Padres were victorious.

I wore my red chucks in support of my dearest Cubbies but unfortunately it wasn't enough. They lost 3-0 but played a pretty good game. Next season is going to be our season.

Look how happy we are. Cubs fans know how to enjoy a good baseball game, no matter the outcome. If we based our happiness on the Cubs winning, well more than one of us would have jumped off the Sears Tower by now. (Side note: Guy is an Angels fan but we still love him).

Watching the game

In light of the truly tragic slew of gay suicides a really cool video project called "It Gets Better" has emerged to offer encouragement and support to members of the LGBT community. Here are a few of my favorites. Check them out! Make your own? Show your support for those gay individuals who are struggling to accept themselves and embrace life and love their own way. I hope someday we can all learn to consider diversity an assent instead of an issue but until then I hope these videos spread awareness and hope. If you are a member of the LGBT community and need help there are people who will listen. Check out the Trevor Project. They have a 24 hour toll free anonymous hot line (1-800-4U-TREVOR) where someone is waiting to talk to you and help you in any way possible. Hell, send me an email {R.BrandtFisher@gmail.com} if you need someone to talk to. There are people out there who will love you, all of you, just how you are.





And this one, well its just funny.


PS: So happy to see this project getting some regonition Check out the White House blog post about it!
