After spending most of the summer living in someone else’s house, Princess has, for the most part, moved back here. We’re surmising that they are keeping their house closed now that it’s cold. She likes our fire–look at that blissful sleep!

While we’re on the topic of Princess, someone grabbed my phone to document her with her tongue hanging out, and, another time, eating roasted eggshells!

I am guessing this was Little Miss’s breakfast one day. She loves to get creative.

The girls love dressing up as royalty!

Our pumpkin crop was quite good this year. This is about 2/3 of the total.

We took the three youngest with us to visit some friends on the other side of the island, and while we visited after church, the girls built themselves a house with the chairs. They had several rooms.

I found these pictures on my camera–I think someone was thinking of Grandma!

A friend gave us a new rangehood for the kitchen, and one evening James got it installed. It is wonderful to have one that works and isn’t extremely loud!

James decided to grow a beard (he didn’t want to take the time to shave one evening). After a month or two, one of his brothers took him in hand and tidied it up while they were getting haircuts.

Apparently, someone was being given lessons in flying a helicopter with a fertilizer spreader underneath one day; we saw this flying around in circles for a quarter of an hour or so. There is a helicopter company based just up the road a kilometer or two.

    I love it that you all think of me when you see special mushrooms! That one was spectacular, and a classic that I have never seen.
