Friday night dance party

Happy rainy Wednesday!

Emma's last day of first soccer class

Suzie's sweet baby, Claire

 So special to meet Suzie's sweet baby, Claire, a few hours after she was born Monday morning.

Veteran's Day tribute and appreciation

GRANDPA GORDON

                                            Here he is on the far right, then below on the far left.

(And thank you to Holly and Adam for their service).

New planter box

An elderly couple in Alameda were selling this beautiful teak planter box and I snatched it up off a parent swap Web site for $75 (It's very heavy and Josh and I barely were able to handle it, though it is on wheels). Might need some staining but I can't wait to see how my veggies do. The Swiss chard and mustard greens are hoping to rebound from a rough start in their new home.

Emma's press box

Emma just spent the last half-hour coloring, cutting and gluing her very own "press box" with my seat, computers on tables and even a couple of broken chairs. Pretty sweet!

Birthday party fun!

 Tea party with her babies in the wagon

Dancing girls!

Halloween 2013!

 They are ready to go ... lots of smiles after pizza at Declan's house.

Emma, Kaela and Pre-K friend, Cate, who is doing dance with the girls this year.

Popsicle prep for trick-or-treating as Minnie Mouse minus the ears.

Tuckered out, Lily rides on Dad's shoulders.

Emma switched from Ariel to Sophia after her dress ripped at the preschool party. I had this spare!

Neat house of our friends, Alan and Cathy, who help us with big house projects.

Princesses Emma, Fiona and Kaela wait for Minnie Mouse to get her candy.

Sophia the First ... Emma!

Neat pumpkin and gourd structure
