Fall Colors, Sun, Clouds, Ducks and Rain Drops

Last weekend my friend came up for Ohio. We were very lucky to have a couple hour window in the bad weather to take some great pictures. We both love taking photos and have young boys. It was nice to get out, take pictures on our own agenda and enjoy the beautiful fall scenery. We were so lucky that the weather cooperated very nicely.

Autumn Day at the Park

Every year there is that one beautiful Saturday that the sun is out, it's warm and the trees have turned colored.  The 12th was the day, so we went to the park to soak it up.  Then later that night Kris and I went on a date night and took another walk in the park. 

Let's have a picnic!

We were surprised and happy to see they had cider there.

My loves!

Loving the sights, soaking up the beauty

Oh Luke, loves to tease his brother, unfortnately

Yes, dad forgot to look in all 10 photos I took, oh well

Run a thon 2013

Every year Alex's school has a run a thon, which is their biggest fundraiser. (The kids collect pledges for their run.) Kris went to cheer him on and took these pictures. Looks like yet another fun event the school hosts.

Alex's class in the yellow shirts, every class had a theme and cheer, Alex came home singing it all night, it looks like they were martians with ties...

high fives from their fourth grade buddies, they do something with them each week, last week they walked down to the construction site and watched what they were doing, the school does great building school unity, he has second grade buddies as well that they do math activities with

running with one of his student teachers, his class is very lucky to have two of them

Kindergarten Work

Each week Alex brings home all of his work that he completed. He loves showing us all that he did. Here are a couple of my favorite drawings.  Overall Alex really enjoys kindergarten.  His school does an amazing job of making school very fun.  I swear everyday there is something different or special to look forward to.  He comes home singing new songs, talking about syllables, reading new words, new facts he learned about his teachers, etc. 

Autumn Afternoons

The afternoons had been so beautiful these past few days. After arriving home from school the boys were eager to play outside until dinner. It's so sad that the colorful trees and the golden autumn sun only lasts a short month. Definitely my favorite time of the year!
