Museum day

Reading time

Levi has a favorite picture book. It's "The Swing," by Robert Louis Stevenson. Good choice.

Levi loves this random piece of paper

Sylvia, behind the camera

Halloween decor at the library

Sylvia loved it all. Levi said "Whoa!" a whole lot. And a kid we don't know jumped in for a photo.

Leap

Andy's - it's been a while

Pumpkin patch-ing

Soccer practice?

There are seven pre-schoolers on the team, but they only play three at a time, so while the coaches are busy focusing on the game, sometimes this happens ...

A few more

The stores gave out candy and many had live music. It was such a sweet, fun night.

Halloween, Part 1

We broke out our costumes early this year for the 39th Street Third Fridays trick-or-treating. Paul and Levi were both The Flash. Or, as Sylvia calls it, Flashing Man.

New climbing skills

Sylvia doesn't usually even approach this rope structure, but the other day, she got part way up.

Ren Fest magic

There were dozens of little displays of fairy houses - probably not meant to play with, but we did a little bit anyway.

We love sunglasses

And hats. And shoes. All of those.

Gnomes and fairies

A wonderful woman in our neighborhood puts these out to the delight of the children.

Porchfest

Big kid

Some days when we pick up Sylvia from school, we stay and play a while on their playground. It's a huge thrill for Levi.

Reading time

With the lovely and loving Sophia.

Success

We made it to First Fridays, and home again before 8:30. And we got Sylvia to smile for a selfie. Big wins.

Sylvia and I take turns taking pictures

She did not want to do a group selfie. Teenagers.

Soccer Saturdays

She had a big kick during her turn on the field but spent most of the time on the sidelines with me.
