Four Part Harmony

Has been cool and clear here lately, with a bit of winter in the air. Refreshing.

Not too much been going on, but thought I’d put a couple of photos up while I have minute.

Brussel sprout season is upon us, and we have been eating a lot of them. I get excited every time I see a new stalk full show up in the kitchen.

Anna is busy with school and swimming lessons and birthday parties and craft time mostly.

The weather has been good for walks and we’ve been out and about in the neighborhood a fair bit. Still get quite a few afternoon walks to the park. Nicki took the kids to the comic store down the street, where they can draw on the walls and share a treat.

Thanksgiving with the Ervings and crew was great fun as always (so much fun in fact that it seems we didn’t bother with many photos). A great gathering of friendly folks and a potluck feast. The kids had an especially good time. Anna had pretty much lost her voice by the end of the night.

Milo sat at the grownups table at Thanksgiving this year, but I’m thinking he’ll want to be at the table with the rest of the kids by next year.

Our friend Brian…I just like this picture.

There’s been plenty of time for craft time lately. Anna has now started flipping through craft books that Nicki brings home from the library and requesting certain projects. The other day she and Nicki spent a few hours doing these paper towel tye dyes with food coloring. Also we’ve been doing quite a bit of coloring. I have a big roll of that red drop cloth construction paper in the basement, so I cut off a long piece of it and taped it to the floor between the living room and dining room. We kept it there and kept coloring on it for a couple of weeks before we filled it all in. Last week I swapped in a fresh sheet so we’re just getting started on that one.

Hope you all are well and enjoying the last of fall.
