Great soccer match

The boys were down 3-0 against one of the best teams in the league and came roaring back to take the lead 4-3. But in the end, it was not to be as the visitors came out with a 5-4 victory. Nonetheless... a great match and pictures may be found here.

Luiz's UMF Match v. Colby College

We headed to UMF on Sunday to watch a match featuring former exchange student Luiz Ristow (Brasil). The boys invited fellow exchange student Robin Baxmann (Germany).

Defender scores x3...

Simon did some heavy lifting for the Falcons last night while Jan played a steady, thoughtful defense in an 8-4 victory.

Ready!

Ready for homecoming!

Someone rolled in poop!

While Simon and Jan got ready for the dance, Bailey and Rich went fro a run in the woods out back of the house. One of them rolled in poop... Obviously, this line welcomes many comments!

Pumpkin Carving


Our neighbor Gina Sullivan (Miles' mom) came up to watch a bit of the pumpkin carving. Self portraits? Truth be told, neither Jan nor I were all that up for a Saturday pumpkin fest, but Simon motivated us!

Skyping girls in Europe on a sunny afternoon... go figure.

Last Sunday we were on a mountaintop... this Sunday–not.
