Fall Fun 2011

Hello all! I've got a few weeks worth of stuff to catch up on. Sadly, I have not been taking many pictures lately, so I don't have too many of those. We have started our Fall off low key so far. Last year, I packed the month of October with all kinds of Fall activities. This year, we're taking it easy and just enjoying whatever we get to do. I don't know if we'll make it to a farm/corn maze this year or not. We're going to see my sister in Miami before the month is over, so that is taking up a lot of the time I would have gone to craft shows, farms, etc. We are so looking forward to this trip, though, so it's a good trade this year :) Enjoy the pictures from the last few weeks!

Showing our team spirit!  We're loyal, even if the Dawgs got off to a rocky start this year!

I hope they always love each other this much. This morning, during a moment of frustration, Christa told Abby Kate she didn't want to play with her anymore. Abby Kate pretty much repeats everything Christa says, so Abby Kate simply replied she didn't want to play with her anymore (either). Christa was brokenhearted at this idea, and came crying to me that Abby Kate didn't want to play with her. Luckily this was a misunderstanding that was easily fixed with a hug and an instruction to play together.

Cline and I had the privilege of attending the wedding of Anna Safigan a couple of weeks ago. I met Anna when she was two years old, and babysat her two siblings and her for years. (Molly, her sister, is with us in this picture). Her mom actually introduced Cline and I, and we remain very close. Nothing like going to the wedding of a kid you used to babysit for to make you feel old!

We painted pumpkins this week. This was an event that I did not bring my camera to, but Christa wanted to take a picture of her pink and purple pumpkin when we got home. I was really impressed that she carefully painted each hump in the alternating colors all by herself!

Miss Elizabeth is loving some baby food. So far she likes anything I give her - except maybe squash - the jury's still out on that one.

We went to the pumpkin patch today to take some pictures and let the kids run around. It was a beautiful morning, and the girls loved it!

Best attempt at a family picture :)


Have a great weekend!
