Out & About in October

A visit from Uncle Brehan started the month off right

Then came Sophia’s first Cross Country season thru Lower Woodland

It was a crazy WILD ride (video to come)

Then Sophia & I walk a different way home from school whenever we can, and often find fun things like horse swings to enjoy!

Celebrating a few birthdays including Papa’s

and my birthday weekend with Troy in Suncadia, and the Harvest Festival (the giant chicken was a little freaky…)

and then HALLOWEEN!!!

In the middle of all of this Troy went to 8 cities in Europe and Toronto, and we managed to hold it all together – some kind of vacation looks really good at this point!

However, he was able to see our friends Kate & Marc & kiddies in Paris (jealous!!)…

Softly leaves are falling

What a joy it is to have a true fall.  Beams of sunlight thru red trees, followed by days of torrential downpour, such a joyous change from the past couple years – No Snow forecast for at least the next 14 days!

I took the girls up to the lake to enjoy a questionable day, and we were blessed by sunshine, and the joy of raking leaves.  And the bigger joy of jumping in them.  Combine that with throwing rocks in the water and swings at Nana’s park, well, it is no wonder that Lexa never took a nap!!

and Sophia has lost another tooth!!
