| Soon the views from the backyard will no longer be MacknEllie's pond but a body of water much bigger and warmer. |
| Meanwhile, two sets of movers have come and gone and one more comes to empty the house this week. The TV has been replaced with the computer for kids' shows. |
| And a bed quilt makes a good roof for a fort under some remaining chairs... unless of course a little one decides to sit on the roof. |
| An empty living room makes a great place to do all the things you couldn't do when there was furniture in it like running and tumbling and whatever. |
| When that gets too rough, as it often does, there are always computer lessons to catch up on and a dress rehearsal of the pumpkin outfit for Halloween. |
| Walks outdoors is still a popular option to keep a little one occupied and sunglasses are a must. |
| And the back yard still makes a great place for brother and sister to romp. |
| Notice the long sleeves... the weather has finally broken and it feels like fall. It looks like they are holding hands, but believe me, they aren't. |
| And then there are always books to read... lots and lots of books. |
| But sometimes a kid has to get creative to have fun. These giggles are because older brother is spinning the desk chair giving some favorite toys a merry-go-round ride. |
| Very soon it will be time to say good-bye to the home that has been theirs for 3 plus years. |
| And hello to new adventures and friends in the land where winter never comes. |
