Hello Fall, and WELCOME!
















It's hard to believe that it is here, but at the same time we realize just how much we missed it!  The weather has become very nice.  It is nice to have the windows open at night and to see the kids running around without sweating to the oldies!  Macie said the other day, "When do the leaves fall, I can't wait to play in them!"  Macie has started K4 and is gone in the mornings at school!  She loves going to school and seems to be learning a few things.  When did these kids grow up.

Another fun thing about Fall is going to the apple orchard.  We picked apples and pears today and the kids had so much fun running around.  The place we go has a few farm animals and its always fun to watch the kids interact with them and try to mimic their sounds.  MOOOO!!!!

Lastly, Sky has been trying to learn how to fly helicopters, which is apparently quite a difficult thing compared to airplanes.  He got a free helicopter from a raffle last year and has been itching to get it going. We were up at Costco, which is only a mile or two way from Sky's flying field, so he took advantage of the trip and brought his latest project.  I think you might enjoy the video I took of him.  Tom has always liked helicopters more than airplanes, and we are liking them too because they take up less space!  Here is a video of his flight:
