HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Watch out! Here comes Molly!

What an exciting week we have had! Molly is walking!! She really started this weekend but, now that's all she wants to do. She took off across the library today. Mike and I hoped that Molly would be walking by Halloween. I hope that she can do some actually trick or treating tonight! It's so darn cute that I had to share both of these videos.
Watch her sassy little attitude as she swings her hips!

Pumpkin Carving

Last night we carved our pumpkins. Of course Mom and Dad did most of the work. Ava was very excited! She got bored because it took so long to get all of the "guts" out of the inside of the pumpkin. And she wanted to color on her pumpkin. Molly loved eating the raw seeds!

Ava and Molly's First Bike Ride

We decided to take up bike riding toward the end of the summer. So, Mike shopped around and finally purchased a bike trailer. Feeling the cold weather approaching, we decided we should use it a couple of times before it gets too cold. The girls love it. The only probably is when they realize they are sitting next to each other and the fighting starts. It has been great getting out and enjoying the fall colors and the fresh air. I think that we may have found a new family hobby!

Fun at the Pumpkin Patch???

Today, we took our yearly family trip to the pumpkin patch. It was a beautiful day! We probably stayed too long. The first couple of pictures were from when we first arrived and the last were from when it was nap time! You can see just how much fun we were having! Can't wait to do it again next year!!

First Snow

Snow already? That's Colorado for you!! Ava was dying to get out in it. That's different from last year when she hated the cold, wet snow!! I only let her out for a few minutes because we have no snow gear yet!!

More Schmidt Photos

Schmidts Visit

The Schmidts decided to take a road trip to Colorado. We had a great couple of days. Ava loved hanging out with her cousins and having a sleepover! We even went skydiving!! Thanks for the great pictures Anne!!

A Quiet Sunday Evening

Mike and I were reminiscing about life before kids. We remember how quiet and lazy our weekends used to be. Not anymore!!

An October to Remember

For the past week and a half, the flu bug has infested our house. It started with Molly, then Ava and Mom got it. It skipped Dad thank God. It has been the longest 10 days of my life. Poor Molly had it the longest. She is finally able to keep dairy down. I can't help but wonder if it would have been worse without the flu shots!!

Daddy's Surgery

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. Mike's surgery was success-or so the doctor said. We will see how the snoring is once the swelling goes down. Mike was such a wonderful patient. He is recovering very quickly and stopped taking the pain meds after one day. What a trooper! Now the hard part- no solid foods for 10 days!!
