A pictoral update

It's been a long time. A lot has happened in our lives since the last time I updated. I promise to do better. This was Halloween. Ruby was a bat. Jacob was a shadow (minus the face paint here) and Hayley was a pumpkin. Interesting thing about Hayley's costume, last year it was Ruby's. Jacob's football season ended and we are now on to basketball. Ruby played soccer with the cutest bunch of Kindergartners ever. I made that adorable banner, it was the talk of the league. Everyone wants one now! Hayley played a LOT of soccer too. More on this later... Jacob is demonstrating why he is the best big brother EVER here. He plays with his baby sister. He is 13 almost 14 and actually plays with her. I LOVE this kid. This is Ruby at one of Hayley's soccer games in the rain. Ruby's 6th birthday was on Nov. 12. She had her 3 best friends over for a sleepover. Two boys and a girl. I will be sorry for the day that Ruby and her friends Jimmy and Alaric realize that she is a girl and they are boys. Remember THIS POST ? Well, we got one. His name is Hank and he was the second pup born to Molly. He is so adorable and already a beloved member of the family. Hayley's classic soccer team WON the Fred Meyer President's Cup. This was a big deal because no classic girls team from Roseburg has ever made it into the finals much less WON the thing. This is Hayley and her BFF Kali. They have played socccer together since they were 5. It is so exciting to see them play at this much more competitive level. We spent Thanksgiving at the coast. It was peaceful, relaxing and absolutely perfect. My kids are great and so much fun to be around. This is Toni. MY BFF. We have been friends for almost 20 years. She was the girlfriend to my ex-husband's best friend. Funny how we both ditched them , but our friendship has remained and fluorished.
