We had a busy fall!  With two kids in soccer and one busy cheering, we spend a lot of time on different fields.  I figured out one week that we had 3 practices for Will, 1 for Ellen Claire, 3 soccer games, 3 nights of practice for Meg and a Friday night football game.  I don’t know how people do multiple sports!!!  Lucky enough, though, we only had a couple of poor weather days.  Unfortunately for Emily, she hit one of the coldest when she came to visit in October!  I couldn’t get the picture of Will to upload, but you should be able to click on the link above to get to it.  One of the dads on Will’s new soccer team is a professional photographer.  Needless to say, I didn’t take many pictures as his were sooooo much better!

OK Piedmonts Came to Visit!

What a treat!  The Oklahoma Piedmonts (Mike, Amy, Ellie, Tripp and Brimley) came to stay with us last week on their return visit to Edmond, OK, from Rhode Island.  We haven’t seen them since last year when Ellie was just 1 and Tripp was just a zygote!  Amazing what can happen in a year.  We spent our time at the park, watching for the school buses, cooking and eating together, and even with a quick trip to Barnes and Noble for a few minutes of quiet for me and Amy.  Ellen Claire had fun being the big girl, but did enjoy having my full attention once the house was still once more.  If you pointed to Will and asked, “Who’s that?”  Ellie would say, “Connor!”  No, that’s not Connor. Who is it?  “Bryan!!”  No, that’s not Bryan, who is it, Ellie?  “That’s WILL!!!”

We know that the OK Piedmonts were here just for a moment on their way to their home, but we sure did enjoy having family around. Thank you for including us on your journey!

Thank you, Windows 7!

 

Because of Windows 7, I can now easily update The Piedmonts’ Great Adventure!!!  After much ribbing from my brother in law, Mike, for saying I would update soon…and then didn’t…I figured I would see if this “blog” option would work on my PC.  And it does!!! 

So I do promise to update with more pictures and the like very soon.  Just know that while we are all “crazy-busy,” our lives are spinning at the pace of a top, we are ok.  Tired, but ok! 

And now to see if this will actually post… Smile
