The faces of fall
















So fall is definitely here now, giving Cindy plenty of options to snap some very cool shots. Here's a few, in no particular order.
Of course, fall has brought with it a sackful of viruses for everyone to battle. Sophia and Geert have been fighting off a cough-runny nose combo that won't quite break into a full-blown cold but also won't go away. Somehow, they've managed not to pass it to everyone else in the house.
Soccer update: Natasja's team won for the first time this morning, 4-1. The girls played a very good game, with Natasja doing her part both in goal and out in the field. Geert's team has bagged 12 points from its first five games and is in second place in its league.
Sebastian turned the big six the other day. Mom visited his class to help celebrate and then he and Geert went to the store later on to pick up a sweet Lego X-Wing Starfighter – with wings that move, mind you - and a binder to hold all of buddy's Yu-Gi-Oh cards.
Next up: Halloween and the neighborhood chilifest on Tuesday. The husbands get to hang in the driveway this year, which means it's time to put together an iPod playlist of spooky, brooding and just downright evil tunes. Come get your candy, kids...
