A good day.

I started off with an early morning walk before Sean had to leave for work - which meant before the sun came up. Yikes! Winter is coming! Anyway, after a shower I did my homework from the bible study I joined last night. Then a miscellany of housework and childcare stuff and then... here it comes... YARDWORK! It might sound dorky but I'm very excited that I burnt a bunch of scrap wood that Sean's been piling up in the crawl space. He's still working on insulating down there and has been fixing a bunch of small things that are cropping up - it has turned into a much bigger project than he anticipated. But it's going into the home stretch now (we think) and I've been pretty bummed that I haven't contributed at all. So here was my big chance :) I got a fire going in our firepit out back and bye bye wood.
I took some time out for bubbles and a photo-op, of course. Who could say no to these faces?
Gotta go make supper! Will post some thanksgiving pictures soon. Hope you all had a great one.

Apple Picking

Two Sundays ago we went apple picking on the Kingston Peninsula with some friends. We had a fantastic time and it was a perfect day for it. It was nice to get some nice pictures of the kids as well as some fruit.Simeon was a great helper, Felicity felt a little overwhelmed at times : )After the orchard we headed off to a country store to pick out some pumpkins.Simeon looked high and low until he found the perfect one. Felicity and I were happy to leave the search in his capable hands.And to end the day we stopped in at an Anglican church with an interesting 2-tier pulpit.Does anyone know what the purpose of the 2 levels are? I've been told that Catholic churches sometimes have two pulpits on opposite sides of the sanctuary, one being for visiting Bishops, etc. to preach from, but this was an Anglican church and the second pulpit was eye level with the balcony. Just curious.

Hope that you're enjoying the fall and have a happy thanksgiving!
