I can't believe it's been OVER a month since my last post! I feel like the reason for that is because there is so much to catch up on that I keep putting it off and then never end up posting anything! So here we are a month since Lily's broken leg (which healed great, after 3 weeks in a splint!) and tomorrow is Thanksgiving (not sure how that came so fast!). Here's a little catch up and then I'm going to just pick up where we are in life, because if I don't, I'm not sure I will ever blog again.
The weather has been pretty nice this fall! We made to the pumpkin patch kind of on a whim one sunny Saturday afternoon with some friends.
Searching for the pumpkins
Luke and Blake
Pretty typical family photo these days
Blake got to drive the tractor!
A wagon full of kids!
Russ and I both entered a new decade... the thirties... yikes!
My sweet sister threw me a surprise birthday party at a tailgater before a football game, and had lined up babysitting (my wonderful in-laws, who drove all the way up from Medford-- thank you guys!!) so I could actually go to a game!
For Russ's birthday I surprised him with a day off of work and a family trip to the zoo. Something we had been wanting to do for a while.
Then we had a little party at our house.
And of course there was some Beaver football involved.
Russ has made it to every home game this fall. And Blake went to quite a few too. Both those boys love their football and their Beavers!
We've been teaching Blake's class at church which has been fun!
We had the Hulk and a Butterfly for Halloween
This little girl got a horrible virus.
We ended up in the ER one night because she was just not acting normal at all and hadn't for days and I wasn't wanting to take any chances since she had been hospitalized for pneumonia and bronchiolitis last winter.
We were there for a few hours, they ran a gamut of tests and everything looked great so they sent us home and thankfully the next day she really started to improve.
We've been playing outside a lot since the rain hasn't really started yet. Have I mentioned how much we are loving our new neighborhood!
Lily has really wanted to feed herself lately,
which is great, but it usually ends up like this...
And then straight to the bathtub she goes.
Well, that's what we've been up to in a nut shell (I'm sure there is lots I have forgotten). Hopefully I'll get better at staying on top of this blogging thing, and blog more then once a month!
Hope you had a great fall!
