My favorite time of the year is here. Fall officially arrived at our house this past Thursday, when the girls hand picked our 100 or so leaves from one Maple tree in our yard. They put them in a pile and took turns "jumping in" the pathetic looking pile. 
Then dad had to get involved. This is one of the draw backs of having a new home built on an old farm. NO MATURE TREES. Now I am sure those of you who have to rake all Fall long will disagree, but we miss out on some of that Fall time fun/work!
QUOT ABLES
Here are few recent quotes from the girls that I got a kick out of:
When driving by Oakland University recently, the girls said, "there is mom's college". Then Rachel said, "Can I go to college?". Rachel is always wanting to do what everyone else is doing. Dad talked her into staying in preschool until she was at least three!
Over a free ice cream cone the girls received from a walk-a-thon this week, a discussion started about marriage(don't remember for the life of me why). When we asked Morgan, the romantic, who she wanted to marry, she started her description like this. How tall should he be, Morgan? "About as tall as dad". What color hair should he have Morgan? "Blonde" What color eyes? "Green". Do you think he should love Jesus? "Of course". Then Morgan was asked again, so what should he be like? Morgan replied, "Just like dad!" Dad, blonde, green eyed and medium height, was very pleased.
