Backing up

It's been a while so here's a little recap of the last month. Mia finished up a great fastpitch season playing for school. There's always a little baking, cooking, reading, working...something going on. Sunday hike. The recorder has re-entered our home...beautiful music! We also have 3 very excited Cadets at our home! Pastors Day...we love our pastors! Homework....via Facetime. Rather clever and convenient! (Hi Erv!) A great pumpkin stash from the Wiersma's...thank you! Fall music assembly. Last field trip to Stoney Ridge Farms. Another great year of coaching, with one of my all time favorite players! Fall sports are done! We've been enjoying the break before the start of basketball. Fishing season. Halloween! And now it's November and the morning frost has come!

Pumpkins!

All in a nights work....more soon.

It's been a while

Riding your rip stick is one thing but can you ride and eat ice cream at the same time?



Grandpa and Grandma R. were here for a month and (almost) everyone's favorite meal while they're here is the walleye they bring and fry up.  They kept busy with a bunch of projects around here and helping run kids and anything else that needed doing.  We're so thankful they were able to hang out those first few weeks of school!



Mia's first batch of Colleen's Chocolate Chippers.  She did a great job on them and they disappeared quickly!

Soccer...

soccer...


more soccer...(thanks, Dad, for the pic)

and a little fast pitch.  All that with a little school work mixed in keeps us fairly busy! ( that might be a slight understatement)  Life is good, life is full!
