Everyday Life

Not a lot going on these days, and that's probably a good thing. Soccer ended a couple of weeks ago, so the kids have had less after school commitments. Basketball begins after Thanksgiving break. As with soccer, we will have 3 kids on 3 different teams. 

Wes and Wayne have been doing a lot of hunting. With them away at camp, the deer are brave enough to venture right up to the apple tree in the back yard. 
 The apple tree was a hot spot for wildlife today.
Spike was attacked by another dog while we were out for a jog the other day.  He was pretty sore for a while and had to wear a cone to keep him from constantly licking his wounds.  Unfortunately, the width of the cone also took down a couple of side tables and coffee cups.

 Today was warm and beautiful. Heather, Cole, and I puttered around the forgotten garden and found several overgrown carrots.

I guess our biggest news lately, is that Wayne has acquired his driving learner's permit. This is what it looks like to have your 15-year-old driving you around...
 ...but this is what it feels like.

I'm not ready for this.

  1. Those deer were so close to the house! Amazing!
    Congratulations to Wayne on his learner's permit. You are braver than I am!
    That carrot Cole had in his hand is enormous.
    Glad you got to enjoy this beautiful day!

  2. OMG--I cannot believe Wayne has his permit!! I remember when he was like that little guy in the photo and we would pretend to drive the old Bronco, I think it was. I thought that was so wild that the deer were under the apple tree, and I think that was a chicken right next to them? How ironic that they came out once the hunters were off!! And those carrots!!! Wait til I show these photos to Mom in the morning!
