Football

Here's a video of Titus describing his first Geneva football game. So far football games seem to be the highlight of the fall for Katelyn and Titus, as Katelyn asks almost daily when the next Geneva home game is.

Some more pictures...

These two dresses were made by an 11 year old girl in our church!

The tie that Titus is wearing was also made by the 11 year old girl (can you say talented?!)

Daddy helping Titus put on his first tie.

Enjoying the slide in the backyard.

It's been so beautiful outside lately that we've been trying to take advantage with outdoor time.

The swings are a popular place with our kids.

Katelyn watering the plants.

Titus LOVES his mower. I'm convinced I need to come up with some sort of kid-safe mower that actually cuts grass. If I did, he'd mow the whole yard with as much as he pushes his around.

Don't worry, Titus, you'll get plenty of chances to mow with a real mower when you get a little older!

Colleen caught Lydia with this really cute pose. It's one of our favorites so far of her.

A half smile from Lydia.

They've been doing some ground work on the back edge of our property for a couple months now and the kids, especially Titus, love to go out and look at the big machinery at night.

The big red dump truck.

Titus would be happy to stay and play all day.

Katelyn playing the flute

The wife of the assistant pastor at our last church approached us a couple months back about giving flute lessons to Katelyn. This woman is a fairly accomplished flute player and she wanted to do some videos of lessons given to a young child, so if Katelyn was interested she would give her the lessons. So Katelyn has been getting a flute lesson once a week for a month or so, and the below video is one that this lady took of Katelyn and posted on the internet.

A few final pictures of our vacation

Well, these of Lydia aren't from vacation, but still worth posting.

More Lydia

On our way home we went across Highway 17 which goes across the southern part of New York. About 30 minutes before you get to Erie you cross over a beautiful lake, Lake Chautauqua. Lydia was ready for a feeding as we were nearing so we found a park just off the exit and the kids and I played for 30 minutes while Lydia was fed. The park had a dock that extended out into the lake which allowed for some neat views. Here the kids are watching some boats zoom by, although the camera didn't take in time to actually see any of the boats.

Here the kids are standing in front of a little light tower in the park.

A cute pose of the kids.
