weekend

Sometimes I can barely remember what we did on the weekend.  It's all a blur.  Thank goodness for the camera.  For the most part we puttered around the house.  Swimming lessons at the Y in the a.m., followed by naps and family playtime in the backyard.  Bill and I attended our neighbor's annual Harvest party in the evening.  Sometime Saturday afternoon I was reading Jasmine Star's discussion on Facebook about shooting wide open and remembering to stand back far enough so that one or more subjects remain in focus.  I guess that's the key to her signature style. 

Sunday,  Bill took his dirt bike on an a 40 mile Enduro ride and that took up most of his day.  He came home wiped out.  The dirt bike is the replacement for the airplane, and that's okay w/ me.  The boys and I headed to church.  Julian has started his Faith Formation classes which he calls "Fake Formation Class".  He's not trying to be funny, but it's hard to correct him because he makes us laugh.

  Yes, it's November in New England and he's barefoot!  He's constantly taking his shoes off outside!!! It's driving me crazy. ( photo is a bit blurry)

Little Tyler came up to my bedroom for a little break.  The room was dark, but the sunlight on his face was perfect.

Oops! I forgot to mention that we did stop by a local fall festival that featured an army black hawk helicopter.  The boys LOVED it.  Julian had a few minutes at the controls, Tyler decided to have a chat w/ the pilot while being buckled into a jumpseat!
