Silas and I finally made a pavlova. I have been crazing this dessert for a few months now.

This one really doesn’t like his picture taken. So I try to take sneak pics when I can.

Cookie decorating started off well, but then my nozzle got clogged. It was a delicious gingerbread man.

Lots of rain this weekend, so lots of reading time.

I can’t help it. I love our humble tree.

After school activities.

Playing golf with cousins.

We don’t have cable so Mark makes due with our tiny tablet for VT games.

We celebrated Diwali this week with our friends. My kids love this event because of the fireworks and they get to stay up a bit later.

We borrowed our friends’ clothes this year. The boys much preferred these clothes over the ones they showed up in because they said they felt like pajamas.

Brooks snuck in a pic after our group picture.

I love this Harry Potter themed picture by Brooks.

After school hanging out.

My yard is changing.

We had some great conversations on Tuesday about voting.

An amazing sunset after continuous rain.

The morning after the rain.

He’s ready to work.

Leftover pears = pear sauce.

Fort building at 6:30 am.

He wanted to bring them all home.

Lunch with this guy.

This is how we soccer. Silas with a book and Jonas with his saddle oxfords.

Last weekend of soccer.

We tagged along at a birthday party. I still love this game.

Not sure if Silas likes soccer but he still had fun and was happy that it was all over.
