Falling Behind . . .

Yes, it has been awhile yet again. We just changed the calendar today to November, and I know it will be a blink of an eye that we will be doing the same for December. I just wanted to share some pictures of the kids, especially Elizabeth. She is a week shy of 3 months! The picture below is Elizabeth tat wo months, just when she started to smile at us! There really is no doubt that she is Ella's little sister!



We decided to have a Fall Gathering at our house this year, and it is our hope to make an annual tradition of it. We had a fire pit (thanks to Carrie!!), loads of games for kids to play (apple bobbing, jello eating contest, three legged race, donut on a string), and plenty of drink and food for all! The weather was beautiful, and we had so many wonderful friends with us. We tried our best to capture the entire clan . . . we had 11 kids, 2 babies, and 12 adults. We were grateful that the weather was beautiful since we all were not going to fit in our home!






Halloween this year was a bit of a bummer in that it started to rain just when it was time to leave for trick or treating. We decided to take pictures before people went out. Here is my little pumpkin home with me handing out candy.



Here is the rest of the clan - Ella was a mermaid, and Colin was a pirate. Matt was the bearded dad.
