We have had a pretty busy month, but still no EXCUSE for not "keeping up" with my correspondence... :)

Not sure where Danny comes from at the ODDEST times.. just kiddin Danny boy....






We had a chance to see our boy Mikey and our girl Bria for a while this month... which was AMAZING!!!





Here Rachel, Mikey and Scotty are enjoying a bit of down time on the Barclay couch!

We also got to see Xtina.. (we sure miss her in Albany!)

My baby Porter sure likes all the company!!!

We had a great weekend.... lots of time with friends and family..... Saturday we went wine tasting on Keuka Lake with Rob and Vickie.... They were celebrating their 12year anniversary with a weekend in wine country and Ryan and I joined them for a couple of hours on Saturday to partake in some yummy wine....




Ryan dressed for the occasion in his hand-me-down carhart jacket at Heron Hill Winery....




The view from the tasting room at Heron Hill Winery....

Cozy autumn day with a good glass of wine...

Bully Hill Winery....




Rockin' out at the wine bar..... not typically the words you would hear.... :)










We had a great time!!

Some old pictures---- this one above is during a medical mission to Belmopan, Belize. This is the Western Regional Hospital that we work out of and my newly developed program Friends Across Borders (FAB) has celebrating the success of our first student volunteer team. This is Belize National TV doing an interview.




This was in 2004---ryan's idea of a "sexy" pose for my bday cake... he has this obsession with picture cakes... ha hah




Mt. Rushmore... funny, I was out there on a "medical mission" to the Rosebud Indian Reservation and we stopped by to see Mt. Rushmore on the way... seems ironic!




But we also saw the Badlands.... they were beautiful... SO INCREDIBLY HOT... but beautiful!




Me visiting Ryan in NYC when he was there with Teddy....




Probably the prettiest kit he's ever owned.... here on stage with Teddy...




Sunset over Raquette Lake, NY... one of the most beautiful lakes in the Adirondacks...




Us in NYC for our 6th year anniversary...




OH, so in love!

My 30th bday weekend in Toronto,ON




We looked up outside our hotel and there was a cazzillion story skim of Teddy... ODD.... I had to take a pic!




BATCH372 played Halloween @ Whiskey... Ryan and Danny getting into the fun!

Okay...so THAT was a recap of the last bit of the Barclay life!

I thought I would post a few extra pics of my baby after the bath... thanks to Rachel, Aaron, and Porsche he doesn't have to shiver any more!!







Cute!

My poor father in law.... He's been waiting over a week to see the pic's from Octoberfest!!

Enjoy!




A father and his boys.... happy bday DAD!!




A man and his "ladies"... the most special one missing!!




LOVE Octoberfest!

Dad, Rob & Vickie....

Our 2nd annual Barclay trip to Octoberfest... we are REALLY getting into the spirit of the festival... I even have my own Stein now!

Our first FULL week was incredibly difficult! I was EXHAUSTED from the moment I got home until I passed out on the couch at a ridiculous early hour.... but we survived and I believe I am now MUCH stronger for it!

Now Our puppies on the other hand... they are going through some transition issues! I don't think they are totally stoked on summer vacation being over! Way too much time alone and not enough time traveling or on the boat! They will adjust, but for now I have sullen babies! :)




Pic's of Ryan... THESE are PRIME example of why I need photoshop AND a decent camera!







ALL of ry's fun gear!




In the bay with Friends!




ry's had enough and I'm "manning" the helm....




Zuke ABSOLUTELY serious!




AAaahhh.... I miss summer vacation!

School has kept us busy, but wanted to post a video of our own mikey on tour with Academy Is...



Enjoy!
