One of my friends (thanks L.) came and took pics of us for Christmas and individuals of the girls for "school pictures" and here is a preview of some of them...

She did a great job!

Here just one of many shots where Hil was being silly!

My favorite of my love and I...the color is more bleached out here.

Here are some recent shots of our lives...seems like life is so busy in the fall that I haven't posted in a while...

Jon had fun burying the girls in all the leaves they raked...this is not even a dent in what we still have to rake. :)

Here is a fuzzy one of the girls decorating the tree...

And a clearer one of the finished tree...

And here is my darling facing his fears in the dead of night...:)

The house looks very pretty thanks to his hard work including laying on the roof hanging by the peak to attach those parts he couldn't reach on the ladder.

I was in the house praying...:)

What Goes Around...

Do you remember this about a year and a half ago...(maybe not, but we do)

How fun to look out the window and see this...

Ahhh, the joys of sisterhood. :)

'Tis the season...for pie!

Yummy! Our first pumpkin pie of the season...a la Shelby. :)

From start to finish without even a grown-up in the kitchen, Shelby made the crust (grinding the grain for it) and then the rest of the pie. It was excellent!

Good job little baker!!!

Now if I can just train you to clean up the baking mess...

Shelby hits the double digits!

Shelby's 10th birthday cake...(carrot cake with no nuts, coconut or pineapple-as requested-with lemon cream cheese icing)

Shelby the Ten Year old

Birthday cake blessing

From dining room to game room...air hockey, anyone?

And a wig from Pepperdine Grandma...make-up by Shelby.

The day was concluded with Shelby's requested birthday dinner: biscuits and gravy, turkey sausage and cheese omelettes(with mushrooms and onions for the grown-ups). It was a good day!

Silver Dollar City!!

Watch out...you may be sent to whiny kid jail!

Jon built a window seat in the kitchen and we love it! Finished version pictured soon...

We don't even have to get dressed to go back to school! :)
