Sophie took Helen and the camera outside earlier this week and took photos of Helen posing around the yard. They had a lot of fun and she took some cute photos.
We attended a concert Tuesday night that Sophie's school presented to honor veterans. Sophie is in the 6th grade choir and she sang two songs, "Taps" and "Dona Nobis Pacem (Give Us Peace)" The 6th grade choir is very small-- only 9 girls-- but they sang beautifully.
Wednesday morning we bundled up and went to our local Veterans' Day Memorial program. We've learned from past years to dress warmly. We're thankful to live at a time when veterans are honored for their service and can share their stories. It's good to stand in the cold for an hour and be reminded that "just the fact that we are Americans is an act of grace."
Gibson really loves helping to build fires. He likes carrying wood in, crumpling newspaper, arranging the wood. He doesn't get to use the matches, though. When Becky builds a fire, Gibson gets very concerned and tells her, "Those are Daddy's matches!" He also likes to build pretend fires out of blocks or crayons or toys.

I love that we live in a time where Veterens are honored as well. Sophie looks so grown up lately.
Love those photos. Like magazine shots. Lauren is in choir too--nine girls lets you really shine!
The fall colors in your photos are quite lovely, and Helen so sweet.
Gibson is so adorable in nursery. He is so polite and quiet. He actually asks, "can I play with that toy?" in a room full of toys. What 2 year old says that with such restraint? He's so sweet.
Love the photo shoot and the adorable resulting photo of Helen.
Sophie has a good eye there - cute photo of Helen. I love that Sophie is even in the ward choir - she is the only teen in there! Good for her!
