Fall catch-up

It's been a busy fall! We've gone out of town, visited many fun places in town, had family come visit, and enjoyed leisurely weekends at home. Here's a few pictures catching up on stuff from October and November.

Sadie wearing her first tutu, from Aunt Mary Jo.

She loves to grab ahold of anything on your face, usually your nose. She's also found Colton's hair a few times and pulled it hard!

Colton loves to tickle Sadie's cheeks or feet - he'll say "tickle, tickle, tickle" as he's doing it. :)

Sadie eats solid foods once or twice a day (sometimes I forget to feed her in the morning, or just run out of time...if you've seen her lately you'll understand that she's ok missing a meal.)! Colton thought it was so funny when she first sat in his booster seat. He typically sits in regular table chairs now, but thinks its fun to sit in the high chair at times too.

This boy loves himself some trains! Daddy surprised him with a couple of trains one night and they both had names within a few minutes.

They love each other. :)

Some fun at the lakehouse...

Around town...

we made many trips to the Arboretum this Fall - we love that it's so close to our house...Colton loves our trips to the 'arbo'...this time my friend Bethany and her fam from Lexington, KY went with us, but I didn't get any pictures (Josiah is behind us in this shot).

Colton and Mia at our neighborhood elementary school for storytime.

We LOVE our trips to the zoo! So glad to have a membership pass. Colton and his pal Sophie were checking out the cheetahs.

We visited a new aquarium in town...colton is with his friends feeding sting rays!

Colton didn't actually stick his hand in the water, he was a bit scared.

Colton has the sweetest response when we talk about what we're doing for the day. He always asks if daddy will be coming with us (to the zoo, bible study, arboretum, park, etc...). I explain he's at work and he nods his head as if he understands. Sweet boy would LOVE for his daddy not to work, but we try and make up for it on the weekends with fun daddy activities.

Cousin Hannah came to visit in November with Pops and Nana. She missed her mommy just a little bit, but had a fun-filled 3 nights and days playing with Colton and telling me how cute baby Sadie is.

They turned on the charm for these pictures in front of our window!

We had so much fun this fall. And now December has started- I love Christmas time! We're excited about Christmas with our two sweet kids. Pictures from our NEW camera and trip to the lakehouse for Thanksgiving will be the next post!
