October Occurrences

 

A fall ready porch.

Mairin has been experiencing some threenager attitudes lately.  It has been a big struggle with her as she navigates these emotions.  For the most part, she's still such a good girl but she definitely has her moments lately.

                         

Nolan "ran away" one night when we wouldn't let him go to the football game with friends and wander around without supervision.  We have a testy toddler and preteen angst going on around here these days.

Testing out her Halloween costume.

His favorite look.

                      

Beautiful fall weather and by three year old buddy makes for a great afternoon.

Loaded up with friends.

Quinn's art was chosen for the art fair.  Hers is the one in the middle on the top row.

Mairin and her buddy, Claire, after ballet.  These two insist on a weekly photo after class.

Cruella and her dog.  Quinn has suggested we put her on a lease for the night and I'm thinking it's not a bad idea.

After eight years, I finally got the nerve and took the time to have my varicose veins fixed.  It was a bigger procedure than I expected but the recovery hasn't been too bad.  The bruising against the compression tights is the worst part (and not being able to go to yoga for a couple weeks).  It will all be worth it though when I don't have that huge unsightly vein running down the back of my leg.

Still has her angry iPad face.

Love our backyard in the fall.
