A getting up to date post

I am so sorry that it has been forever since I have posted anything.  We have been quite busy lately.  The end of July Adam's parents came to visit.  Then in the begining of August Auntie Carrie came to visit.  September 1st Adam got promoted to a Captain in the USMC.  Sept 19 we moved out of our apartment, the 23rd we flew to Minnesota.  The 25th we attended my cousin Angela's wedding.  October 1st we went to Adam's cousin Jared's wedding. Also while in MN we spent a day with our dear friend Carrie, and a day with non other than Uncle Aaron!  October 2nd we flew to Wisconsin and then the 3rd there was an open house for all the Kassulke/Sebald family.  The 5th we went apple picking with Josh and the kids.  That Friday, the 8th, Mom and Dad Kassulke, their kids and spouses (and Jackson) went to a nice dinner.  October 9th was a family get together/birthday party for Ella.  Sunday was our last day in the midwest and we flew back to San Diego.  Once we got back we stayed with our friend Briann. (Thank you Briann for letting us move in and take over for 2 weeks)  Friday the15th we went to Pastor Schroeders and had dinner with him and his wonderful family.  On the 24th Briann threw us a going away party which was wonderful to have the chance to say good bye to our friends before we left.  The next day, Monday, we met a friend Mandi and her two girls, Ella and Emaline, at Kid Ventures to play.  It was so fun to see them one last time, and for my kids to get to play with toys.  Tuesday the 26th, the day before Ella's birthday, was the day we celebrated her.  We went to the Birch Aquarium, spent the night in a hotel with an indoor pool, which we used in the afternoon, and then went to dinner.  She had so much fun and wore herself out that she passed out on the 5 min drive to the restaurant and it took until the food came to get her to wake up. 
Then on the 27th, we packed up all our stuff and headed to Japan.  That I will save for a later post.  We hope you are all doing well!  We love you and miss you all!
Now, for the fun part, here are some pictures to go with our craziness!!
