Happy Fall!

Things have been CRAZY around here! I cannot believe October is halfway over. Before we know it we'll be getting ready for Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. Phew!

The past 2-3 weeks have been busy! We've had sick kiddos (not fun, especially for the littlest munchkin), traveled to Ohio to speak in two churches, had several guests over for dinner, had several guests come from out of town and stay with us (3 in the past week!), and now we are preparing for a week-long trip to Louisiana! Though we have been busy, and very tired at times, we wouldn't trade all of our visits with friends for anything. We feel so blessed by our times together.

Here are just a few pictures of some fun times in the past couple of weeks.

Gabi trying her first solid food...she's not really a fan yet, but is slowly getting more interested.

She would rather skip her own baby food and have whatever we are eating/drinking! 
Mmmmm...Dr. Pepper.

We celebrated Gabriella's 6 month birthday on the 11th. Emily felt it was necessary to bake a cake...we couldn't resist! You can't tell from the angle of this picture, but we used a "0" for the candle. ha.

This past weekend we enjoyed a visit from Pop and Mimi. Here are Emily and Pop playing a good game of chase around our yard. These two have so much fun together!

Taking a break from all the activity.

Gabi trying on Pop's hat...adorable! :)

My dad helped us winterize the apartment...these pictures crack me up!



After some shopping in the morning, picking our sweet friend, Jennie, up from the airport, naps, and winterizing the apartment, we still found time in the day for a trip to the orchard! This is our fifth year to visit Boyds Orchard! 

Mimi insisted we all ride the train.


Last year Emily went down this same slide all by herself...this year she insisted someone go with her. Whaaaaa?? Silly girl!

Our two little pumpkins!

Emily was home from school on Monday for Fall Break, so we packed a little lunch and enjoyed a picnic at the park. The girls loved sliding side by side!
