We're falling for fall!

Mother Nature has kept us on our toes this year! We went from summer to winter in a matter of seconds. Then it seems liked we had moved to the Northwest with day after day of rain. We were finally able to enjoy some fall weather this weekend. (Okay, maybe it was more like summer with the 75+ temps on Sunday!)

Playing in the leaves reminded me of our favorite fall song on Nick Jr.


We hope you're enjoy your fall while it lasts!

Halloween Recap

What a fun night (and day!) Halloween was! We kicked off the day with a trip to Sparta to visit Grandma, Grandpa and Great-Aunt Sissy. Austin loved all of his treats and we loved the chili lunch!
We hit the road again after nap time. Our first stop was to "Aunt" Julia's. Then we were off to the Hentis', Great-Uncle Freddie's, the Gregson's, the Woods' and the Thies'
We ended our trip at Nana and Pa's, where Aunt B and Uncle C were also waiting for us. Thankfully Nana had dinner waiting because we were all starving!
Everyone was tired after such a fun, treat-filled day!
All treats, no tricks for our little man!

Austin's Morning Adventure

I'm usually not one to post something that doesn't include pictures, but I wanted to make sure this story isn't forgotten.

I can tell you my side of the story but you'll have to ask Austin for the exact details...

This morning I went out to take a shower like I do every morning. I put pillows around Austin (who was of course in our bed) and turned on the monitor. When I got out of the shower I thought to myself that I must have found a good spot for the monitor because it was so quiet.

A few minutes later I heard Nana come in and go into the kitchen. As she's opening the door she says "Austin!" My heart dropped! What was he doing in the kitchen??

The little stinkpot had woke up, turned off the monitor and got out of bed! Nana said he was knocking on the kitchen window when she finished her morning feeding. His sleeves were wet so we think he was probably in the toilet at some point!

It's funny and scary at the same time!! I keep wondering how he got out of bed and what he did all by himself. He's getting really good at getting out of the recliner backwards but our bed is so high!

Mr. Independent! I'm surprised he didn't make himself breakfast! What's it going to be like when he's walking??
