Pics from the fall season

Scenes from the fall...Ethan in goal at a Saturday morning soccer match; creeking with friends at Whetstone; apple-picking with other friends.

Slacker...

That's me...sorry for not posting anything recently. I'm still a novice blogger you know, yet to get the full blogging bug of posting all the time. So much has happened since the last post...the kids have finished up fall soccer and started judo classes after school on Wednesday (they have learned how to "pin" someone...ask and they'll be glad to show you.) Oscar keeps getting bigger. After a few restless nights trying to satisfy sleeping arrangements for all (he preferred our bed - we did not), we settled on a nice spot at the foot of Ethan's bed. All parties seem satisfied with the arrangement and I get to rest sans a loving paw on my nose. Poor Oscar has been battling a mite problem - it's not as creepy as it seems. Apparently all dogs have a basic level of mites on them, but their immune systems keep the little buggers in check. But, when you've got a dog who is growing faster than his immune system can keep up...well, then you've got a scratchy pup on your hands. Don't worry, the mites aren't transferable to humans (or so they say, Ethan hasn't started scratching yet).

What else has happened? Well, Halloween, Scout got her ears pierced, we baked an Obama cake and more. I'll try and add some pics in the coming days and more highlights from the Red House!! Until then....
