Pumpkin patch

Enjoyed our annual visit to Shaw farms again. We went with the Hoffer's who were in town visiting!!! (Love those people!)






Look at how much they've grown in a couple of years. Check it out here.

fall pics

Here's the fall pics I took at Sharonwoods this year. I took some last year too, but I never got around to posting them on the blog. I love taking pictures there in the fall. It's so BEAUTIFUL! And of course, when you have adorable kiddos it makes for AWESOME pictures! I'd love to say that all these pictures were done willingly by the kids but that would be lying! There was much bribing going on! ha!
The girls just climbed on their brothers without being told for this one!
This one of them looking at each other is one of my favorites!

Can I just say that the girls cooperated a lot better than the boys did?








I love this one too. We took about 7 jumping pictures, and then I photoshopped the best jumps together!

The dollhouse

Klaire received some money from her grandparents, and with the money I thought it would be sooooo fun to get her a doll house. Check this baby out!!

Klaire

How did she get this big already?? Crazy to think in just a few more weeks, she'll be a big sister!

ER Visit

Well, it happened, finally. We had to take one of hte kids to the ER to get staples. Funny thin is, I always thought it would be a boy that it happened to, but nope, it was Klaire, the little dare-devil herself. I'm telling you she's gonna be the death of me.
We were at Taco Bell, and she decided to climb on a stool like her big sister had. I remember watching her climb up there, and thinking, "This is not a good idea, Klaire." Next thing I know, she was on the ground with the heavy stool on top of her. I picked her up trying to soothe her and then I saw blood everywhere. Ahhhh!!! I'm so not a blood person. So, I rushed home, had Eric look at it, and then took her to the ER. Of course, by the time we got to the ER you wouldn't have known anything was wrong with her at all. She was completely back to her own self. Ha!

She required two staples, and man, are those grossing me out. I want to put a bow on top, so I don't have to see them, but I guess that wouldn't be such a great idea, huh?

Still Missing him!

This post might be a little old, but it still says everything I feel.
