fall in charlotte

fall here in charlotte was short but beautiful. the street picture is actually salisbury, the small town north of charlotte were i work. it is a great little town and i really enjoy working there. i know korea is beautiful in the fall. i think that fall is great just about anywhere. maizie shot the pictures of the kids a couple sundays ago after church, she said the colors where just perfect. she took about a hundred pictures because the kids just would not cooperate. i think she did a great job. madelaine and harrison are really enjoying school and ben and olivia are becoming good friends (more like partners in crime). Olivia will really miss him when he goes to school next year.

mud fight!

i often wondered what went on while i was away at work. well, i only wish work was this much fun. i know cleaning it up will be. maizie's sister nikki and her kids (harper, paul and brooklyn) came for a visit last week. i guess they had a good time. i don't know where they get it from. i'm sure i never did anything like this when i was young, right mom. the mud (red clay) was literally everywhere, check out the ground behind ben, that is our patio under there.

always smiling!

scooter is always smiling. we love having her around. she makes the day a little brighter.
