We've had snow on the mountains already, followed by a week of gorgeous Indian summer, leading into the current pouring rain. Nothing major to report, only small doings. We bug-bombed the house and took the kids up Dawson Ridge while the foggers did their thing. We had beautiful weather. Jim and Chris played with the paint-ball gun, Kirsi wandered nearby, and I took off in search of photo-worthy views. When we got home we got to watch Sophie attack the tailpipe of the van - I was shocked and appalled, but Chris informed me that she does this on a regular basis.
I have a new camera now, so my best shots are no longer marred by lens spots. I'm very happy with it, although I'm still learning the ropes - not helped by the fact that some small child ran off with the owner's manual.
Kirsi's talking more clearly and using more words. She's especially eager to imitate her brother, which Jimmy thinks is pretty cool. He's doing great in school and waffling over his Halloween costume. And I did a new painting. Guess that's it for now.
