A Great Fall Hike!

The colors are beautiful around here. We enjoyed a nice fall hike, the river was flooding so we could see lots of underwater trees. Evelyn spent lots of time putting leaves on the dog, while Nora and Owen played "house" in an old tree and scared all the hikers above with their roaring. Ken and I hid.

1st days of school!

Nora started Kindergarten and is already trying to break the uniform rules (can I wear a sparkly headband?) Owen is very happy about preschool and bringing his (empty) backpack with him everyday. And as you can see, Evelyn seems ecstatic to have them gone for a few hours!

Ken and Evelyn give us good reasons for cake!
Evelyn learned how to smile after the word "cheese" just in time for all the pictures. She loved her baby! Nora also likes to help her with her babies in her new "resting room".
