Some October pictures

Abby off to school with her new lunch box! (So exciting!)

Breakfast time.
The local fire department came to one of the play group meetings and showed the kids all the equipment (including letting them spray a fire hose). Here is Ben sitting in the fire engine.



Abby found some erased words on her blackboard and traced them well!
Yikes? We have a great natural history museum downtown across the street from where R.J. works. The kids love it. They have all sorts of animals, fossils and rocks and minerals.
Mandy, the Shetland pony you're allowed to touch (the kids' favorite).

Abby and Ben in front of the Warden's Lodgings, Keble College. R.J. works on the top floor.
In front of the University Museum of Natural history.


R.J.'s window (top right).

A rainbow from our house.
At one of our local parks. They have a great playground there.

Our friends Dave and Chris with R.J. while Chris was in town for his viva (PhD defense, which he passed with flying colors). R.J., Chris and Dave all started at St. Andrews together, but then Chris and Dave moved to Oxford to finish their degrees.
Crunching autumn leaves.
