We've had lots of visitors this fall. Feifei came for a few days in late October. My mom and Dad came for close to a week over Thanksgiving. And Colin visited for 4 days last week!!
We had a big gathering here for Thanksgiving which was fun. Mom, Dad, Chris, Joanna, and Anna Capp, plus my new neighbors from Australia. The weather was beautiful so the kids just ran around the house and neighborhood all day and played. I really enjoyed the day.
Feifei, Mom, and Colin all watched the kiddos while I worked which was great! Dad helped me with lots of projects around the house - very helpful.
Colin was a good sport - we had a very busy weekend when he was here. So in addition to watching the kids Friday while I worked, he also took Erik and Carson to a library program, shopping for indoor soccer shoes, out to lunch, to a "wood chopping event" (he found this on his own), and then met me at a soccer game. (I had the other two at a different out of town soccer game.)
I've enjoyed the visitors and am thankful for all the support.

Soccer! (Written 11/14/2015)
Erik decided to play soccer again this fall. He had not played a full season for almost 2 years (due to breaking his leg during spring of 2014 and playing baseball the following two seasons). We were so blessed to have him make the RecPlus league and be placed on a team with wonderful coaches and teammates! This has been the best experience we've had in the world of sports.
They played their last game today. It was the Kohls cup which is a national tournament. The format is 4 vs 4 - no goalies - 20 minute games. They played four games, winning three out of four. A fun way to end the season! It was a loooong day - we were at the soccer field for almost seven hours.
Lainey, Kyle, and Carson deserve spectator awards for all the soccer they have watched this fall.
We have 1 month off from soccer (hallelujah!) then futsal starts. Erik's team will play together for winter and spring season as well.
Erik's coach, also coaches his daughters team. Lainey will play on her team this winter as well. Futsal should be much easier on me, as it's only once a week.
So we don't get bored - I signed the big three up for swimming lessons held at a college about 30 minutes from our house twice a week. Good thing with that - all three have lessons at the same time and place. I will enjoy the two weeks off from spots though!
I am SO thankful for all the hard work and effort on the part of our coaches this fall! They have made such a difference in our lives this fall.

Quotable Quotes
I was reading a book to Carson tonight that said, "God made everything." Carson looked up at me confused and said, "No He didnt. China made some of it too."
