Fantastic Fall!!

A glimpse into our fall fun.

Happy Birthday!

Brady turned 3 and all he wanted was a "green cake."

Soccer

Emry played soccer for the first time.  She played both goalie and sweeper.

Jay (in the background) was the assistant coach for Emry's team, Blue Crush.

Camping

We went on a family camping trip to Yosemite.  You can't tell by the picture but it rained every day and Jay and Brady had the intestinal flu. Despite all that went wrong we hope to go back next year for even more days.

Fall Break
Our homeschooling has moved to a year round routine so as most children headed back to school we took a break and headed to the beach.  We spent one day at Donner Lake playing in the water, feeding chipmunks and eating popcorn.

Apple Picking

(Note to self:  apple picking is fun but most of the apples that get picked by children also get bruised by children.)

Another Birthday!

Kensley turned 5.  We celebrated with a trip to Sacramento for the zoo, Fairytale Town and the Cheesecake Factory.

 

 

As you can see fall has been a flourish of activity topped off by 2 snowfalls.  The children are eager to sled and have already been enjoying hot coco and Christmas music.  The short days lend themselves to warm fires, cozy blankets and good books.  Bless you all!
