Gemma starts soccer

Gemma looked like a natural her first time on the soccer field. I'm pretty sure she was having fun too, as she several times jumped up and down and giggled while playing. Another parent commented it was a bit like watching a Foosball game, with each child standing in their position waiting for the ball to come to them. I think we may be watching a lot of soccer games in our future.

Rocky Ridge

We made a quick trip to Rocky Ridge for our first bags of apples for the season. I love that place! Glad there are things to do other than picking as we got 31 pds in minutes.

Potato Harvest

The girls had a blast at our CSA helping with the potato harvest on Labor Day. What could be more fun than lots of buried treasures and vast stretches of recently turned up soil. We had to spray the girls off with the garden hose when we came home. They returned the favor by washing up MINH.

Alfred's Island

The girl's always love to see Alfred. We had another great time getting wet on and around Alfred's Island. Too bad I didn't have the camera for the water fun. Both girls jumped off the "log" on the "cliff". Thanks Alfred!

Gemma's first day

Gemma's style is to sit back and take it all in. So was the first day of kindergarten. She was excited, but was observing and didn't want to be bothered to smile. Gemma's biggest complaint about the day was that her time at school was too short. Wonder how much longer she will feel that way?

El's First Day of 3rd Grade!

End of Summer Biking

Sleeping Angels

They may disagree by day, but look who fell asleep snuggled together on a very warm night.

Happy Easter - or the mad dash for candy

A little bit of Halloween

Halloween dawned on two newly coughing girls and frigid temperatures. But climate and colds are no match for Princess Vampira and the Snow Princess. Here is a glimpse...

Cousins for Columbus Day

Thanks to the Hartter's for taking us out to a picnic at a 350+ year old farm in Dover.



The cousins had great fun following the hungry little catepillar through the corn maze as he ate healthy food to grow into a big, beautiful butterfly.





Levi loves the critters and has absolutely no fear. He merrily went about trying to feed his hand (with a tiny piece of grass inside of it) to the donkeys.

Eleanor Rides Sunny

I have to get a better camera to capture my young rider. Here she is on Sunny for her second lesson. She has such nice poise and just loves it.

Wolfe's Neck State Park

C

We drove out to Wolfe's Neck earlier this month to try to determine whether Calvin likes the water. I'm not sure he has much lab in him as he doesn't seem to want to get his tail wet. He does enjoy walking around on the rocks with his folks.
