Fall Leaves

With fall comes the daunting task of raking all the leaves in the yard.  With Carter's help Nate was able to unload two truck beds full of leaves onto the street for leaf cleanup.  Of course he couldn't resist playing in the pool full of leaves just a bit too.

A little randomness...Kennedy enjoying the last of the two mile walks in the mornings before the weather turned cold.  She is obsessed with umbrellas.  And of course my two kiddos together.  This is there natural habitat, always touching each other.  Sometimes that can be a good thing, but quite often it just causes a lot of "get off of her," comments from mom.  Boy do I love my kids.  I am glad that they like each other so much (most of the time).  

Happy Halloween

Unfortunately the warm weather did not last and by the time Halloween came it was super cold.  We spent the evening in weather just above freezing and a cold slushy drizzle.  Not the best Halloween weather, but the kids were troopers, they got candy out of it afterall.

Both the kids picked out their costumes this year.  Carter was a power ranger and Kennedy was an Owl (one of her favorite animals).  Carter's mask only lasted about five minutes.  He then told us in no uncertain terms that he was getting snot all over himself  inside the mask, yuck.  Kennedy was bundled up quite nicely. I managed to get last years winter coat under her costume and it kept her ears and neck warm too.  Overall, it was a fun, short, Halloween.

A little bit of Summer

A couple of weeks ago we had some unseasonably warm weather, we are talking almost 80 degrees.  I felt obligated to take the kids to the park.  We found this great park close to our house right along the Ohio River.  Don't know why we haven't been there before.  Carter was able to do his favorite thing--ride his bike!  He learned a month or so ago and has been taking every opportunity he can get to practice.  Kennedy spend the time running around playing and playing in the leaves.  I took quite a photo shoot of her, which perhaps I'll share later.  Only wish we could hold on tight to this weather and never let it go!

Sister's Trip

This October I had the awesome opportunity to leave my family behind and join my sisters in Savannah for an extended weekend.  We had such a wonderful time.  Savannah was absolutely delightful.  All that surrounded us and all the food made for one great trip.  Highlights were the trolley tour, Paula Deans restaurant,  the Chocolate Bar, Leopold's ice cream, b&d's burger's,Tybee island, and Bonaventure cemetery.

These were my two favorite pics of the four of us.  Boy am I lucky to have such wonderful sisters.  Here's to many more trips like this one in the future!

Savannah

Here are some brief examples of the beauty that surrounded us in Savannah, GA.  Walking the streets of historic Savannah you couldn't help but be in awe of all the beautiful things.  Absolutely loved it.  So glad I got to experience it with my sisters!

Hats

Well, I dug out my hat loom and decided to make Kennedy a hat after a friend made a couple for a baby shower.  This was the result.  Luckily I just had the yarn in my stash from ages ago.  These hats are so cute on girls, especially with cute embellishments.  I will be making hats for triplets in the next couple of weeks so I was glad to have a little practice.  Plus, I think I'll have to make a few more for Kennedy since they are so cute.  She loves wearing it around and putting hats on her stuffed animals.  Looks like it will be a hat making winter.

I decided to include all three pics so you could see a bit of Kennedy's personality.  She is a total goof ball, we love it!!
