Fall Fun!

We've had lots of fun this fall, Halloween time is always extra special since Grandma Foreman usually comes for a quick weekend to visit us. We had a great time trick or treating with her and miss her already! Lia has been growing so fast, she's already going on 4 months old! She's smiling and laughing and rolling and sleeping nearly through the night...this week she moved in with Amber and Ethan now sleeps in Jack's room. So now we've got a girls room and a boys room, I was kind of sad about separating the twins, but they were excited about it. This morning, Amber looked to find Ethan in the living room and asked him right away "how did you sleep in your new boys' room, Ethan?" It was so sweet! The boys did pretty well, I was very worried, but after an hour of Jack talking to Ethan, he finally gave up and fell asleep too. I could hear Ethan snoring in the monitor while Jack just kept on talking to him and about him. That boy has too much energy and doesn't need much sleep.

Here are a bunch of pictures I've taken the last couple of months...enjoy!


Jack sees me swaddle Lia and he likes his bear to be swaddled too :)



Lia likes to be swaddled, even in her carseat

Fun jumping on our bed

Jack loved playing in the corn pit, Grandpa should build us one of these :)

Amber liked playing in the corn too!

I tried to get a cute picture of these three but it didn't really turn out

we all walked through the corn maze

and took a picture at the look out area

Hannah, on a very important call :)


and we shared some kettle corn

if you look closely you can see that she got the beautiful long eyelashes too, they're just too blonde to see very well!

They stock the ponds here very well so you're guraranteed to catch something
