Here's a picture from our annual leaf raking Saturday. Marina exclaimed, referring to jumping in the large pile of raked leaves, "This is the best thing about fall!" I am sure they are not quite as enthusiastic about picking them all up. Nonetheless, they helped fill all 13 bags in 2 hours. Yes, we have quite a mess in our yard every year to clean up. But, it was a beautiful day to be outside working, 70+ degrees. How often does that happen on November 6th?
I just had to throw in some more pictures of our growing boy. He had his 6 month check up at the doctors and measures in at 86% in height: a whoppin' 28 inches. His weight and head circumference are more average. But he sure is tall. In fact, every time I think he's going to fatten up, he just gets longer again. Danny said that when they came into measure him, the little tape measure they use, was too short. When I shared the statistics with Isaac that research shows that the 2nd boy in the family is usually taller than the first born. He was outraged. Of course, we laughed about it, but I truly think Isaac hopes he has some power, when telling Esaias, "You will not be taller than me!" Isaac was even more concerned when I told him that this was true for his dad's family, my family, Papa Ken's family, and both his uncle's families, Uncle Marcus and Uncle Ryan. Oh well, he'll be in good company. And no matter how tall, they are both such handsome little boys! Okay, Isaac's a big kid now. He'll be mad at me for saying "little." ;)
