A Few Things Since Coming Home

In September we went to the Highland Games in Waukesha, where Aunt Pari and Uncle Trevor were playing. It was a lot of fun...though it did rain quite a bit so we left earlier in the afternoon than we planned.
































Anastasia with her thistle face-painting.


















Pari Beth, Timothy and David all try archery.




























Recently Timothy got the privilege/responsibility of planning and making a meal by himself. He made beef & broccoli & noodles (a non-spicy recipe out of his Thai cookbook--it's a kids' cookbook) and couscous.














With bananas in a coconutty sauce for dessert!


















Timothy wanted to show Grandpa Eyre this old dime he has.





























In science (Astronomy this year), we got to make a balloon solar system. Of course the distance is off, as is the size of the sun; but we also got the sizes of the planets quite off also because Wal-mart (as usual) wasn't stocked well and they were out of any except standard-size balloons. Oh well, it was still pretty fun!














The boys pretending to be priests. :-)


















Our new table & chairs we got at St. Vincent De Paul. And our new, more open arrangement of the living room.
































Lovely fall colors here on campus.














Aaaand...I just realized all the kids were featured in this post except Noelle. So here's one of her :-)

Oh my goodness, how did Pari Beth get so big???

That's exciting for Timothy, and he looks very pleased with himself.

Love it! The picture of Noelle is especially good. And Timothy cracks me up... first, his fierce, then his apologetic expressions.

Thanks for the pics! The kids are all darling! I can't wait to see all of you, including Mary!! in April! I love that Noelle enjoys her dolly so much. I already have ideas for Christmas, as we recently received the American Girls catalog in the mail!
