October was good to us and we are a little sad to see it go. Here are some fun moments captured from the last few days of October.
Caleb finally conquered the stairs! He can go down them as fast as he can go up them and he is loving his new found freedom! The rest of us are loving not having to hurdle a baby gate. Caleb loves to be with the big kids. He loves playing with his big brother!
The kids and I have enjoyed some beautiful sunrises on our way to school. We live in such a beautiful place!
Mommy finally got to go to a football game with Daddy. It was fun to cheer on our Cougars and we got Cupbop for lunch. Mommy's new favorite food!
Gwen's sense of style just gets better and better. Last Sunday she insisted on wearing her sparkly red shoes to church. Her argument was, "But everybody loves them!" Thankfully, her Nursery leaders think she's hilarious.
Adam is just a good, good boy. He spends so much time on Sunday's learning new scripture stories. He is fascinated by the Old Testament.
I love these moments. It's times like this, when I have all my babies around me, that I wish I could freeze time. And then someone starts poking someone else and the screaming begins and the peaceful moment is gone. But, those sweet 5 minutes somehow energize me as a mother and make me want to try harder to be better for them.
We are lucky that all of our kids love to read. Caleb is no exception. He is always carrying books to people to read to him. It's nice to have other readers in the house so they can help me with this. Tessa loves to read to him.
Gwen wanted a turn to tell her version of the Chocolate Chip Ghost Story. She practiced in the kitchen before she told it to everyone.
Our neighbors tree is infested with ladybugs. We have found several around our yard and a couple in our house! Gwen found one in the kitchen. She had a lovely little chat with our ladybug visitor. "Hello, Ladybug. How are you? How did you get in my house?"
Tessa was beyond excited last week when she lost tooth #2!! The tooth fairy came again and she got another dollar. She has a dentist appointment this week and can't wait to show the dentist that her teeth are finally falling out. She's pretty sure the dentist is going to be so happy to hear this news!
