Fall Fun and Aphids

I don't know what happened this summer but it seems to have never happened. We had Spring that lasted for about 5 months and now we are into Fall. It has been a fairly nice Autumn so far with mild weather and a few short showers. It was a bit cool for a little while but that seems to have subsided for the time being.




With all the nice weather we thought we'd go out last night and do a family photo again. What we hadn't planned for was the swarm of aphids that awaited us at the location. It was bad. In the photo below you can see them reflecting the sun in the right hand side of the image. First it was mosquitoes earlier in the year now it is aphids, great. Oh well what can you do? At least it's not snowing yet right?

This picture is fabulous! How on earth do you get all the little ones to look and smile at the same time!?!

Our kids are well trained that if they don't smile we will just keep taking photos until they do. They have learned to just "grin and bear it" I guess.

That's funny...we went out for pictures too! The weather, the changing leaves, and FHE...it was the perfect combination! It is a really great pic.
