What's New

Claire went on a field trip last week to the local fire department. Lucian was able to go along, so I even have a photo! The fire house is across the street from her school, so they walked there as a group. A moment after this photo, the team giving the tour had to rush out on a call. Luckily there were colleagues that could take over. 

We gathered at Lucian's parents on Friday for a quarterly birthday dinner. There are 5 in this group, including myself. The kids were happy to assist with the candles.

The rest of the weekend consisted of running errands and getting some cleaning done. It looks as though Kyle was helping in the photo, but he wouldn't let us actually turn on the vacuum. 

Claire assisted me in baking a pound cake. We had some at the party on Friday night and couldn't get enough.

Oh, and we got our first snow. I hadn't realized we would rake leaves one weekend and shovel snow the next, but that is how it happened. Winter is here my friends. The kids were happy and I didn't mind that much either. Everybody pitched in with the shoveling and it wasn't too cold. Yet.
