WE LOVE AUTUMN!

10.30.2009

Fall has always been my favorite season, and I must admit I have missed getting to enjoy its North American flavor the past few years. Here are some of the memories we made this fall. Hope yours was as fun as ours!

Sophie enjoying the tons of leaves in our yard.

The girls had been looking forward to crunching through the leaves for ages. We are staying on a HUGE property. One of the perks of this place is that the lawn care is sourced out. This also meant that not a lot of leaves were being allowed to fall before they were mowed up! I took to raking the leaves to the base of a couple of trees and "saving" them up for the girls!

Well worth it!

Annie spent October searching for the most beautiful leaf.

Enjoying a provincial park on a Sunday afternoon.

(This is the caption you think this picture should have. For the real story behind this "best laid plans gone bad" afternoon, give me a call! Annie at least enjoyed it!)

One of many gorgeous sunsets over the pond in our yard.

A visit from my sister, Anne, and niece, Mary-Michal, was the perfect highlight of our fall!
(Hint, hint: Come again!)

Thanksgiving! We do it in October up here!

The family shot that only took 200+ attempts to get all five of us looking in the same general direction without pained looks on our faces! Thank goodness for digital!

We'll end up with a few of the unfortunate misshots:

This one is just wrong in a lot of ways...

Yes, Benjamin is picking his nose. Classic.
