My conversation today with Bradley

"Mommy"

"Yes"

"I love you"

"I love you too Buggy"

When the music takes over

Playing in the leaves

Yesterday, the 5 of us went outside to have some fun raking and jumping in piles of leaves. It was fun for some. Not as much fun for others.

Billy loved it, he ran and jumped in them a hundred times!


Brad was unsure about this and stood by watching

Ronnie was watching too

Me and my girl

Daddy finally scooped up Brad and ran in He wasn't happy about it

He stopped crying long enough to take this nice picture

Brad decided it was safer to keep an eye on Ronnie



And, sit with me on the steps



Daddy and Billy kept playing while we watched and laughed!


At the end of the day, Billy had leaves in his hair, he was covered in dirt, still had some lunch on his face(grilled cheese and tomato soup) and lots of snot.

Welcome!

We would like to welcome 2 new babies to our family!

My cousin Justin and his wife Jen welcomed Lyla Elizabeth on October 21

and

Rich's cousin Grace and her husband Greg welcomed Henry Thomas November 9


Congrats! We can't wait to meet you!

Some pics from the weekend

What did we do this weekend...just hung around the house with our kids...doesn't get better than some good family time!

Isn't it contagious!?!?

Sunday visitors and treats

We had a great surprise today! Aunt Grace (who is pregnant and due tomorrow!) and Uncle Greg came, they brought lunch and hung out with us for the afternoon. This was great since I was planning to be home alone all afternoon while Rich was working. They also brought some baked goods that Aunt Sarah made.

Brad had one of each!


Billy loved the pumpkin cupcakes!
