Catching Up

Has it really been almost 2 months since I posted? How sad! I don't know if I've been too lazy, too busy, or a combination of the two... ;-)

Fall is in full swing and Adrianna started up with her first official soccer team a couple of weeks ago. They named themselves the Fireballs and are 1-0-1 after two games. Not bad and she's having a pretty good time too. It's only for 9 weeks, so it's a good test to see if this is something she'll want to continue or not.

I took a couple of quick videos on my iPod, but I don't know if I can edit them or not. I guess I need to play with it a bit more and see. I can take them in either landscape or portrait and my PSE will let me view it back right-side up... but not sure that it will upload here that way... and the ones I have that would be the correct orientation have the other side scoring. Oops!

This week we went into full chestnut mode. Early on in the week we picked up a few here and there... and on Friday they really started falling and picked up 5 pounds worth. Add in the pound-ish for the beginning of the week and the ones from Saturday and Sunday and we are at about 15 pounds of chestnuts. We have friends lined up to take them... since we've tried them a couple of times and they just aren't for us. They are still falling.... actually it's frightening as sometimes you can hear them as they hurtle through the tree bouncing off branches as they head toward you. If the whole pod falls, it's like a giant, pointy tennis ball. Ouch!

Lastly, one new layout from the Apple Cider collectioin from Imaginisce. I loved these pics of Adrianna, Neva, and Wyatt from a couple of years ago... they look so cute holding onto each other!





much love,
