Yesterday we had the first snow of the season. We are not sure exactly how much snow we got because the kids were outside playing in it most of the day. Audrey just went out and measured and said it was “about 6 inches.” Hooray for our first good snow!

Happy birthday Mom
Today is Momma’s birthday, I hope she has a wonderful birthday.
Happy birthday!
Pure Joy
I do not know who was having the most fun. Mark trying to get Megan dizzy, Megan spinning around in circles, or the rest of us giggling while we watched.
Fairy Door
After church on Sunday, it was beautiful out. We decided to go the park for a picnic. We grilled sausages, ate s’mores and just enjoyed the wonderful weather.
We wanted to walk, so we explored the woods by the river. Audrey discovered a little door in one of the trees. It was fun to imagine all the possibilities on how it got there.
Princesses
These beautiful Princesses stopped by our house on the way to the ball.
Soccer Weekend
Andrea has enjoyed playing soccer this fall. She plays outside defense (right fullback). Her job is to keep the ball away from the goalie.
It has been fun watching her improve this year. Andrea does not mind falling too much and is willing to run into situations where others may hold back. She has been practicing running faster and is able to overtake opponents more often. She also likes to come up to mid line from an angle and kick the ball down field. 
Her kicking is getting stronger and she can send the ball flying much better than she did at the beginning of the season.
This weekend, Andrea had her fall soccer tournament. It was a long weekend for Andrea, but she enjoyed herself. Her team did a wonderful job! They were undefeated for all their games (8-1, 2-1, 2-0 and 2-1) and came home with first place trophies in their division!
Through a Five Year Old’s Eyes
Megan asked if she could start learning to use the camera. She is still awkward holding it, and most of her pictures are out of focus, but I told the kids that she has to learn to hold the camera and push buttons all by herself. I think the next time we go out, I will put the camera on a tripod to help her keep steady. I love seeing what she comes up with!
Fall Reflection
It was a beautiful morning to be outside enjoying God’s creation!

Kaleidoscopes
The kids wanted to see what would happen if I started in the same place, but made the angle smaller each time for kaleidoscopes. They wanted to see how small an angle I could work with and how the picture would change. I started out with 8 triangles and ended with 256.
