Redheads

I spent Saturday evening snapping photos of my adorable nephews and niece.  Several of them have the most beautiful shades of red hair.
I am still amazed that not one of my six children were endowed with red or auburn hair.
Especially considering the fact that my father has red hair, my maternal grandfather had red hair, two of my brothers had red hair growing up (that darkened to auburn later), I have numerous red-haired cousins as well as an aunt and my husband's grandmother's hair was auburn. 
I felt sure that the genes were strong enough to come through my line.  I was wrong.

So I get to enjoy the various shades of Red/Rouge/Rojo/Rosso/Ruby/Garnet/Scarlet (you get the idea) in my extended family.


They also look exceptionally lovely this time of year!

 

And, speaking of redheads, I recently heard about Redhead Express; a traveling, singing family.

Snow Day!

This is the view out my window this morning.

Luckily, our out-of-state guests left two days ago and made it home safely. We had a wonderful, sunny wedding here.
(more about that in another post)

And now Fall seems to have turned to Winter!

Halloween should be interesting....

All I know is this:

My husband gets to stay home from work, he is making biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast and cleaning the kitchen.  

We might watch movies later, huddled under a soft quilt.

And I get to wear pajamas all day, do very little school work with the children and maybe play Boggle later.

Oh, happy snow day!

fall days

kite flying in september.....

part of our day's school work!
