| Happy Halloween! Gib was a green triceratops this year-- his favorite color and his favorite dinosaur. Sofi was Katniss Everdeen. She wore a fancy red dress like Katniss did when she was being interviewed before the Hunger Games began. Helen was Supergirl with an extra sparkly tutu. Abe was a hot dog. |
 |
| Helen started a mini pumpkin plant with her second grade class last year. She brought it home at the end of school and planted it in our garden. She harvested 9 mini pumpkins this week. We roasted 6 of them and made pumpkin soup to eat on Halloween. |
 |
| Brandan and Becky both voted this week. We love Oregon's vote-by-mail system. The only way it could get any easier is if we could vote online. |
 |
| Three cheers for Sofi who got her learner's driving permit this week! She had to show pretty much every piece of identification she has collected in her 15 years of life and pass a written exam. To get a regular driver's license, she will need to be 16 years old, log at least 100 hours of practice driving with her learner's permit and pass an actual driving test. Brandan took Sofi driving for her first time on Saturday. |

| Abe's fall soccer season ended with a tournament on Saturday. His first game started at 8 am. Brandan coached Abe's team again this year. Abe has a lot of hustle and plays with his brain, with some fancy footwork thrown in. He's fun to watch. |

I love the costumes. Originally Lila was going to be a purple pterodactyl for Halloween. She and Gibson would have been a nice match.
Helen's pumpkins are so cute. How fun to harvest her own.
I can't believe Sofi has her drivers permit. The young kids that we first met when we moved here are no longer kids. A lot can change in 7 years.
Abe is so fun to watch on the soccer field. He is an excellent defender.
Wow I love those costumes! Congratulations on the pumpkins Helen! I love your family picture at the top of your blog. I know Sofi will make a great driver!
