Nixon had an assignment to do a good deed for the community so he chose to make some chocolate cookies and deliver them to some of our neighbors
Henry and Mason had a cross-country meet and both did well
Nixon helping to clean our dining room window
We had a pheasant try to get in our house but we didn't let him in
The boys got to check out a new Lego store in CDA
We made an offer on a house (and it was accepted!). We close on December 12th
We also listed our house for sale and we got (and accepted) a full price offer in less than a week. We close on our sale on November 10th, which means we will be renters in our own home for a little over a month
Henry getting a hair cut
I snapped this picture of Henry one morning when he was eating breakfast because I though he looked so cute
The moon looked huge this evening on the way to church activities (the picture doesn't do it justice)
I got to attend Henry's final cross country race
I was a proud papa
When we attended the inspection on the home we are purchasing the home inspector found this note from one of the kids that he put in the range hood
Henry helped Kim process apples to make applesauce
Kim worked a very long day making applesauce. This was likely the last time she will do this again ;)
Soccer games last weekend went really well
Nixon scored 4 goals helping his team win the game (3 were captured on video)
Henry took his stretching very seriously before his game
That evening Kim took Lyza to her very first concert. She got to see Lindsey Sterling.
It was an experience, to say the least. The Lindsey Sterling part was really good. However, there were some other performers that were more heavy metal/screaming that neithter of them appreciated.
Mason got to do a pottery class (it was a birthday gift)
He had a good time
Kim and I were supposed to go hiking on Columbus Day together but I needed to do some work on something that was time sensitive. So I played hookie on Friday and the two of us went hiking. We hiked Mineral Ridge together, including a short additional stretch that we had never hiked before.
It was a good time
That evening Lyza had her first band concert of the year
She was awesome, as expected
The boys all had their last soccer games yesterday for the season
Nixon and Mason both worked very hard and helped their team win the game
Nixon got the ball kicked straight into his balls at one point and he wasn't feeling too good after
He got 4 goals again! (3 fully captured)
Nixon and Adeline were good pals this season
Henry also won his game and had a good soccer season
We took a picture of our family in front of our home on our way to family pictures
We did our annual family pictures yesterday and can't wait to see the final product
Life has been crazy but we are excited for what is to come. Take care
