Is it really November?!

On this beautiful morning, the girls woke up bright and early.  We had oatmeal for breakfast... with chunks of apple, raisins, cinnamon and brown sugar.  Fall food.  Yum.
We walked to school accompanied by our camera.  (Some days are so beautiful it's almost a crime NOT to take a few pictures.)  Ruby and Alli shuffled through the leaves, crunching along.

Ruby was reluctant to leave preschool.  She lays herself out flat every time we drop Alli off.  She can't wait to be a big girl and stay at school.

I took Ruby to music class today.  She couldn't stop talking about music class... until we got there and she turned shy.
Ruby and I had lunch with Andy today.  She loves to see her daddy, and she wanted to go to work with him after our lunch date.  Not today.  We went downtown to pick up a new lens for our camera!  (The rest of the photos used the new lens.)

After school we walked past this lovely mural.  Alli and Ruby weren't really cooperating, but I snapped a picture anyhow.

Next time I will come to this spot when the girls are wearing clean clothes, without toys in hand, and without crusty faces.  I will bring candy so they will smile on demand.  I will take some amazing photos.  Stay tuned.

The leaves are brilliant right now.

I just can't get enough of this color palette.

So many beautiful leaves... and berries.

Alli and Ruby buried their legs in the colorful foliage.

We couldn't pass up the playground on a day like this.  Ruby took a "fuzzy" that she picked from the park garden... the sunlight caught it and lit it up.  Magic.

The weather is glorious!  I would like to think that winter couldn't possibly be near.  It is hard to believe it is November already... so I guess winter isn't far off.

PS- Congratulations to Andy's sister Betsy (and Jory and Lucas)!  We have a new niece, Lily Elizabeth

Karyn, Alli's hair is getting so dark. She reminds me of some of your pictures at that age. What a cutie!
