Time for a Change

I simply LOVE the fall. There is something in me that longs for it, and every year I'm delighted as the leaves change color (sort of), the weather gets cooler, and the season turns to Thanksgiving. So, naturally I needed a change in blog background. I hope you like it, too. :)

Speaking of changes, it seems that my little baby no longer stays in the same place I put her. She is BUSY crawling around the house and finding me and other things. Eek! I realize it's time to train her. The old words "No touch" are quickly coming back to me as I follow her around the house.

The older one is changing, too. Her head now comes up past my waist, and she is so helpful around the house and with her little sister. She has discovered a new love for puzzles and will put the same one together over and over again. Also, she and Matt have been having a fun time doing math problems on their hands. (Are puzzles and math related?) Anywho, it's cute to hear them count together during bath time.

Okay, I know there aren't any pictures this post, so I promise more to come!! Thanks for reading!

Halloween

We had a sweet time last night with our little bumblebee and her pumpkin of a sister. We went around with our good buddy Maxwell, and it was quite the time.












Not sure what happened here, but it probably reminds my dad of me when I was this age. My lower lip was constantly sticking out.





























The face painting was Matt's touch. Look at his fine handiwork! Isn't he awesome? And isn't my little bumblebee so beautiful?

Pumpkin Patch on the Other Side of Town

Last year we went to the pumpkin patch with some new friends. We both had pre-schoolers with babies on the way. This year, with those same pre-schoolers and the babies in tow, we ventured out again to a great pumpkin patch. This one happens to feature a maze and a 500-lb. pumpkin!! Here are the results:













This one features our little friend Miller.













Then we added our little friend Colin. He seemed to like Abigail.

























Finally, we added our little friend Hallie.












Abigail really liked the hay. Yes, she did try to eat some, but Mommy was quick on the scene.


































Can you see that their shirts say "big sister" and "little sister"? They were the talk of the town!! (Thanks, Mom Morton, for these precious duds.)

Our Little Puppy Dog

Pumpkin Patch

We got to the pumpkin patch, and we were all business!

















First, some pictures of my little pumpkins. You may have noticed that E's hair is all brushed to the side. It's because she was sweating, but I actually kinda like the look!
















































Then, we tried for a family pic. This is our favorite since everyone was looking! Special props to our photographer Amber Roberts for taking these!














Out takes!
