Ice Skating with Dad





Daddy took the girls on an ice skating trip.  The Home School group invited us to meet a few of the families and it was a fantastic Friday.  All the girls had a blast and Chloe hit the jackpot at the ticket games.

Lucky joins the Family


A few days ago Christa surprised the girls with a spontaneous trip to the pet store to purchase a fish.  So here is a shot of "Lucky" named by Chloe and Kassidy.  Lucky has a fantastic life of swimming in circles, looking at back at the girls, swimming in circles, gulping specks of food, swimming in circles and screaming in terror as Kate picked up the bowl and walked through the house taking Lucky on a tour of the first floor.

Celebrate Fall


Christa and I walked into the Kitchen to discover the table completely decorated for a festive celebration of Fall.  All three girls raided the cabinets in the Dining Room and dressed up the Kitchen table.  We had a lovely dinner (complete with music) and closed the blinds to eat by pumpkin candle light, and finished up with pumpkin bread that Mom made earlier this morning.

Chloe the Artist


Chloe was allowed to use Daddy's special work markers and she took a blank sheet of paper and came up with "Dancing Fruit".  Very well done no matter how you slice it!  The pear is a great singer, someone turn up the juice!

Kate on assignment



Kate joins Dad on a project site visit cleverly disguised as a "Nature Walk."  The small mountain was steep enough that it was more of a ride along in Daddy's arms.
