Day 315: Walking, riding and scooting

Elizabeth had the day off school today for Veteran's Day, so we went for a walk around the neighborhood. Elizabeth took her scooter out on the streets for the first time, and had a great time. And we saw a fire truck in the Lucky parking lot so Edward was happy too.

Day 314: Pretty

This is how most of the streets look at the moment. So pretty.

Day 313: My latest project

Mum is working on a knitting project, and it inspired me to dig out my own knitting project. I started this years ago when I was still living in England, and haven't done any work on it for a couple of years now. It's quite relaxing though, so I'm going to pick it up again. It's going to be a blanket of some sort :)

Day 312: Mum's here again :)

Mum's back for another visit. Dad will be here too in a week. I'm always so happy to see how affectionate the kids are with her. They see her quite often on the web camera, and it really seems to make a difference. They both ran up to her and gave her a big hug at the airport, and were immediately perfectly at ease with her.

Day 311: RCIA team

Today we had nine new people go through the Rite of Acceptance and join the RCIA team. Afterward I took head shots of the entire group that will be posted on boards outside both the churches in the run up to Easter. They all came out really well. I also took this group shot of the other team leaders and me.

Day 310: It's never too early for the Polar Express

Edward is still crazy about trains, so I put The Polar Express on for him today. He loves it. Between you and me, so do I, which is why I don't mind watching it this far in advance of Christmas!

Day 309: The leaves are turning

I love this time of year. The colors of the trees are so beautiful. Time to break out the polarizing filter!
