Cranberry Fest

We saw our first snow flakes at Cranberry Fest this year. Niko has started to take an interest in football, and he likes snuggling up with his daddy to watch the Vikes.

Apples again

We love the apple orchard! And what a gorgeous day it was, too!

Ballet

Lunch is better with a dino mask.

Elia's first day of kindergarten (sob!)

My beautiful brave girl! She's been nervous about starting school but now that she's into it a couple days she is having a good time and she loves her teacher, Ms. Boos.

Harmonica

Eric found his grandfather's harmonica the other day (it still smells like his hair tonic!) and the kids loved hooting away on it.
