O Fall, are you really already done?

We had a little snow today - hardly even enough to call snow, really - and there is a lot of cold temperatures in our weeklong forecast. While I am not as dogmatically opposed to winter as I once was (well, and as I will be again come February), I do wish fall could linger a little longer.

Here are some photos from one of my favorite days this fall. Chris and Cora and I spent some time kicking around a little soccer ball in the sun, back in early October. We are trying to instill a love, or at least an appreciation, for the beautiful game. I don't know if she will ever earn the coveted nickname "The Foot" (like her Uncle Chris), but she's got pretty good form.
