Boy of the Week

So many pictures of this kid this week, perhaps because all the other members of the family are sick of having their pictures taken? (How am I ever to get a Christmas card picture out of these people?!)

Wet Siding

Tonight's Purchase

The (artificial) tree is up, so I had to hurry and purchase the artificial aroma to match.

Conqueror

He conquered the pumpkin in the name of science (to count the seeds). What a hero.

Back to School

Our first day back at the books after a week-long Thanksgiving break.

Tree Trimming

Earlier than usual this year--not sure what got into us!

Stratego

Three what? I wasn't paying attention.

Thankful

Yesterday, on Thanksgiving Day, we all wrote on a banner things for which we're thankful. It's an eclectic hodge-podge, and it reflects well who we are.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We've had such a nice day, just us--lots of laughing and being silly and just enjoying one another (and eating, of course).

Licensed to Drive

It has been a long journey--but she got her license today. I'm so proud of her for persevering in a hard thing.

November Snow

First snow I've seen this season.

November Field

Sunday's Reading

Finished Mayflower and flipped through some digital scrapbooking magazines.

Dave

One of tonight's dinner guests, which included our church's deacons and their families as well as a missionary couple our church supports.

Blustery

Never mind the leaf blower outside the frame of the picture...

Reading

He is reading The Children's Homer for school.

Morning View

I took pictures this morning while it was foggy and then a few after the fog had lifted. It was hard to pick a favorite, but I went with this one because I like the light and the notion that that path leads somewhere interesting, not just to a swamp.

Catalog Season

In today's mail: Land's End, Eddie Bauer, Hanna Andersson, REI, The Teaching Company, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Delia's, and Greathall Productions.

Dave at Work

In our basement.

Elisabeth

Light

Afternoon light coming through the trees in our yard.

Scary

Here I am, first thing in the morning: no shower, no coffee, no nuthin'. Am I brave to post this, or what?!

His Hair...

points to the sky, the place he'd rather be.

Geese

Picture hunting this afternoon took me to a pond full of Canada geese (and one swan).

Aimee's Eye

Through her new glasses.

Flock

Grackles, in the woods behind our house. Big flock! My mother always hated grackles, but I rather like them.

Laura

Laura and I had a good time together this morning in the nursery.

Autumn Arch

Nina's Sunset

OK, it wasn't really just Nina's sunset, but I wasn't paying attention out the window, and when Nina saw this out her window she had the thoughtfulness to IM me so I could take a picture. Now, that's a friend!
