Enjoying fall

A random picture of McKenon from last week
We have had a great fall so far. It has been busy with a lot of school activities and running here and there. Lachlan is really enjoying his school and field trips. Next month we go to the Musuem of Flight which I think we both will really enjoy. He is also in a Children's Choir and loving it. Cohen started piano lessons with his Kindermusik teacher this month and just LOVES it! He likes preschool twice a week too. McKenon is doing great except he has been sick for about 2 weeks and has an ear infection that is not going away. So sleep is one thing I am NOT getting...oh well I know it will pass.

Business is extremely slow right now so we are hoping we can weather through this slow time. It is a tough time for everyone.

We went to Orcas last weekend and the weather was outstanding. Nicole and David joined us and we had a ball. The guys have been on this oyster kick every time we are up there so Drew and David had to get fresh oysters first thing Saturday morning. 3 dozen! So we got a big fire going in the firepit and cook oysters on the open flame. They ate them all. I'm not a huge oyster fan but everyone else loved them including the boys. I made hot apple cider with spices and we sat around the fire. It was so much fun.

Here are some pictures from Orcas:

Mack loves apple cider
Big smile...more please!
Don't these two look great with kids?

I always love seeing your pictures! I can always count on your boys to me smile. :) Hope things get better soon with Mack--and hope you start getting some sleep!

Ahhh--you sure make oysters sound good, even if I don't like them. Guess we need to try "Orcas" oysters! Sounds like a marvelous weekend~~ Can you believe our weather--wahoo!Look forward to hearing the boys "in concert".

Sorry to hear about Mack's ear. Hope it clears up soon...lack of sleep is no fun (for you and him!). Is he pulling up now? (kind of looks like it in the first picture). Glad you're enjoying some fall weather!:)
