The Master and His Pupil

 This young man has tried for many months to solve his rubics cube.  He has searched online for the solution, he has asked others for help, but there is only one that has been able to break through this barrier and teach like no other!

 I loved watching this process!  The master being so patient during his instruction, the pupil so intent on learning this puzzle.

And he has gotten to the point where he lets us mess it up as good as we can, and he can always fix it.  Thank you Master Mark!  After Mark left, the rubics cube got messed up and we thought we might just have to fly Uncle Mark out here to save the day.  But he got it after much perseverance.  Thanks for the memories Uncle Mark!

Express Yourself...

 

Should I encourage this?  She actually went to high school like this!

 

Luckily it was crazy day, but odds are she was the craziest of them all.  She does have talent when it comes to mixing and matching.

 

That's my girl! 

Happy Thanksgiving!

She loves to hunt with her dad.  They got this fine gobbler last weekend in the woods behind our house, she was thrilled!!!

I love this time of year when the leaves change and that crisp feeling is all around.

Full camo.  This is what she looked like when she bounded into my bedroom last weekend to tell me she got a turkey.

Our backyard right before all the trees are barren for the winter months.

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends and family.

Hodgepodge...

Taylor shot the ball down to the hole and discovered that something was clogging the hole for the other balls to come out.  She stuck her hand in and kept pulling ball after ball after ball out of this tiny hole.

Taylor and Carley had some extra fun one night and she came down the stairs with various designs on her nose drawn beautifully by Taylor.

The beautiful Mardi Gras masks.

"Now I Can't Smile..."

For the next 18 months Dr. Scott will correct his over bite.  At the moment it is strictly a soft diet as he adjusts to the additions in his mouth.  What do you mean you can't smile now?  You look very distinguished!

With the Right Hat, Nothing Else Matters...

                            That pretty much sums it up!

We really are here!

We had to take one last summer get-away before the winter months hit.  So we headed up north to the Lake Erie islands for the weekend, did you even know there were islands on Lake Erie?  Neither did we!  We left the mainland on this fairy.This is the mode of transportation on the Lake Erie Islands.  Everyone drives a golf cart or rides a bike, it is awesome!!!

There was an amazing field of sunflowers we had to capture for mom.

 We enjoyed great seafood, the chocolate factory, putt-putt golf, mining for ore, and a fabulous time as a family in a little golf cart.  Taylor even got to pose with Lucille Ball!

Maybe we will take you there when you visit us in Ohio.
