New Background

I had a few complaints about the background, mainly Sean, so here is the new winter scene. It may be 50 degrees outside but we are dreaming of snow.

Halloween

The best part of Halloween was listening to Chase laugh and laugh when seeing James' face after the makeup was put on. He thought it was hilarious.

New Heights

In preparation for Disneyland, we measured the kids to see what rides they could go on. I last measured their heights in June. Here are the results.

Anna coming in at 49", up 1/2 " (57th percentile) - shortest height gain

James coming in at 42 1/4", up 3/4" (64th percentile)

Emily coming in at 57 1/2", up 1" (95th percentile)

The winner is Chase!

31 3/4", up 1 1/2" (48th percentile)

Head: 20" circumference (greater than 97th percentile)

In the last 3 months my children have grown a total of 3 and 3/4"

September

Busted.

A possible career choice.

Hasidic Judaism is hot right now!

Watching the garbage trucks.

James Soccer

James had his first soccer game last night and was so excited. Those little boys are pretty cute. There was a lot of movement - jumping and running, but not much actual contact with the ball. James kicked it a couple of times at the end, but it was more of a running into the ball than kicking it, but he was really excited anyway. It was a great game.

Butterfield Canyon

Sunday evening we took a drive up Butterfield Canyon to see if the leaves had started to change colors. It was beautiful. Oranges and reds are starting to appear, but in a couple of weeks it should be even better.

Soccer Begins

Most of Emily's team has been playing together for almost 4 years now. They have fun and do well. Emily is great at defense and knows how to play smart so she doesn't have to run after every ball. The team played well, but lost 3 to 1.

Anna and a group of girls from her team have been together for 2 years. Sean coached for the those two years and is glad to just be able to sit and watch a game. This is the first year they are in an all girls league and they did really well. The score was 8 to 1, Anna scored 3 of those goals. She had so much fun.
