Fun in the Leaves

The weather has been unseasonably GORGEOUS for this time of year. I will TAKE IT!! So, we have been taking the kids outside so they can enjoy the weather and we can get a little yard work done - yeah right. But this morning, I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the kids hanging around (literally - Celie) and playing in the leaves. It is amazing how big they are getting.

On the Move

Here is Jake walking in a pile of leaves in our front yard. He is walking all over the house. Well, I should say, that he walks about 15 steps, then falls down, then gets up and does it all over again - and again and again. He is definitely on the move now.

Jake - the Man

Even with a bad cold, snotty running nose, the little fella is still a pretty happy camper. This picture was taken of him about a week or so ago. His cold is better now and he is still a pretty happy camper - most of the time.

Halloween Decorations

To keep Celie occupied this past weekend, so she wouldn't wake up Jake during his nap and she would leave Bob alone so he could watch the football game, we decided to decorate for Halloween. We ended up doing quite well, though most of our stuff is in the dining room, we did put some things throughout the house.

The second pic down - Celie wanted to write a sign that said KEEP OUT so that is what she did and then we hung it in the window and than hung the bats up. It was perfect.

Hopefully, we will make it to a pumpkin patch this weekend and get some pumpkins to decorate the outside.

Both girls were definitely into it. I am really looking forward to decorating for X-mas now.

Fall Photo shoot

I absolutely love getting pictures of the kids in the fall and then getting a good one and using it in our x-mas card/letter. I had planned on trying to take it this year with coordinating outfits, everyone looking at me and smiling. HA! Dream world, I know, but I do believe that I got some great pics of the kids - what do you think?

Busy Weekend

This past weekend was pretty busy for us. We did a lot and we had a great time. Many posts are to come with pics. It has been such a relief to worry about just the house and the kids and Bob and not have to worry about trying to find a job.

I am looking forward to starting my new job tomorrow. I am very excited - I am a little nervous about the commute - only because I am not sure how it will go tomorrow, but we shall see - more about that later.

Last Day at GDFH

Friday was my last day at the Funeral Home. It was a bittersweet day. There was a funeral in the morning and it was sad to be leaving such great people. Everyone was very sweet and they had a farewell luncheon for me. They also got me this gorgeous bouquet and gifts for the kids. It was very sweet. It was hard leaving, but the need to have benefits and a little more money to live on was overwhelming. I am thankful for the wonderful people I met and worked with and look forward to seeing them soon again soon.
