We went to Creamers Field to take pictures of all the kids. We wanted to do it while we were down at Nettie's last month, but I'm happy we waited because now I have an awesome camera! I like the Black and White of all the kids and Nettie likes the color. Which one do you guys like best?

We did all the kids and then individual shots on Monday. When we got home we realized we forgot to take pictures of just my kids and just the Kellers we had to go back again. The leaves were already almost off the trees. Fall is nearly over here! The second day Nettie and I were ready to pull our hair out. It was soooo HARD! The kids didn't want to cooperate AT ALL. Out of 260 some pictures we took the second day there were maybe 5 that were good, and 15-20 that were ok, or just plain funny.

The Holt Kids

The Keller Kids

And then we have everyone's individual shots. According to Nettie this is everyone's favorite girl...Of Course! She says I can quote her on that.

I realized after we got home and looked at all the pictures that I didn't take any portraits of John. But I got this one in between other kids!

Ballet and the Aurora

I love watching the northern lights. It is truly a beautiful sight. I got a new camera that I am able to take pictures of it with. These are the first ones, so they aren't great. Now I know how to take clearer pictures of the aurora without camera shake, so the next ones will be better! Now I just have to wait for a clear night so we can see them again. :) It's my winter time addiction.

Green is the most common color to see, so having the pink in there was pretty neat.

The girls are back in ballet again for the fall. Rebekah truly loves it. I love how serious she is and how hard she concentrates on doing everything right while she is there. They all love to play classical music and dance to it at home. Lizzie was pretty excited to be joining them this time. Two classes = 3 hours straight every Friday for us. If all the girls do ballet in the spring it will be 3 separate classes...oh boy!
