Apple Picking

Sarah Grace and I went apple picking with one of her friends on a Wednesday morning.

Sarah Grace and friend Breleigh

 We thought it would be fun to try as a family! It was a great time and we got lots of apples.

Thanks Caroline.....

Thanks Julia...

Now that they are gone, I get to try one!!

Moms attempt at a Christmas Card picture....not so much...

At least we got 2 out of the 3 to sit still.

Mom and her girls...yes, Sarah still isn't into the picture taking thing.

Chumley

Our girls are afraid of dogs.  We've tried for years to get them more comfortable around pets in general.  The house behind us got a Golden-Doodle in the fall.  Caroline met the dog and loves to play with it.  The owners love how she tires Chumley out!

Warm Friday

Temperatures are so warm here for this time of the year.  We thought the kids should play outside and enjoy it!

Wow, was there a lot of mud!!

We are enjoying it knowing that by the end of the week it will be in the 30's again...and that isn't even  cold for this time of the year!

I think I'm the only one that isn't sad the snow is gone.  I always tell people that snow is great for Christmas, but then it can get warm and the snow can melt.  :)

Fall Fun!!

Playing in the leaves is the best!!

Nothing better than dumping leaves on your little sister!

Sarah looks just like Caroline in this picture!

First Day of School

School started back in September.  Here are the first day of school photos.  It's hard to believe we have a 2nd and 3rd grader this year!!  Where does the time go...

WOW!!

I guess I should take more time to update this blog if I'm going to do it!  There are many times when I feel like no one reads it, but we do find it fun to look at as a family so I'm going to try and keep it current. :)

Anyway, we've been busy since I last posted.  Kids are in school, dance competitions, soccer games, piano lessons, Girl Scouts, choir at church, Thanksiving, Christmas....

So, I hope to have a few posts out in the next few days to start filling in the gaps over the last three months.

Enjoy!!

First Haircut

Sarah Grace had her first haircut right before her 2nd birthday. It went very well. Ms. Dawn, our hair dresser, is awesome with kids and does a great job.

All done! So pretty.
