Boot Freedom?

Today was Maya's 4 week check-up on her foot. The good news is that the metatarsal has healed. The bad news is a tendon is pulling on the growth plate. So...we go back in 2 weeks for another x-ray. Maya (and Mom and Dad) were pretty bummed. You could see the disappointment wash over her face and then she got very brave. Sweet thing. But then at bedtime she started to cry because she just wanted to rollerblade to Finley's school.

Here's hoping to being released from the boot on October 18th!

First Snow

It made for a cold morning at the bus stop!

And, October 4th?!?!?! Too early but the kids are loving it!

Rocking the Side Pony

It is Fin's favorite hair-do these days! Here's a picture of her and her favorite "do" with Maya and Henry!

Saturday Afternoon at Grandma Sandy's

Porter came over and the kids played together. First it was croquet and then various games in the house. We watched "The Lorax" and ended the night with a fire in the fire pit! Pretty fabulous day!

Fin got sick of playing croquet (or something) and provided lots of moments for nice picture taking.

Claire got some QT in with leaf discoveries!

Saturday Afternoon at Lincoln School

They may be absolutely filthy (see earlier post about the Color Dash) but they are all ours and absolutely beautiful!

The Color Dash

Grandma Sandy and Jen did the Color Dash 5K this morning. It was a great chance to hang out uninterrupted and get some exercise. The whole crew got together for the color explosion! It was a lot of fun.
