Leaves

We've been going on bike rides lately and Joel will stop and pick the perfect red or orange leaf. 

He refuses to take the training wheels off even though they aren't really touching - I have it so one is a few inches off the ground. But he will bike a few miles with me so the training wheels stay on. Whatever gives him confidence. He told me that when he turns 6 he will take then off 

She dressed herself and put the tutu my mom made her under her dress. (Mom she could use a few more of those!) 

It's really fun and also a little sad when we know the exact streets to go to for pretty trees since there aren't many that have turned colors or will turn colors this fall. But the fact that Norah is in a sleeveless dress in November is nice! 

He takes this job very seriously
