So now that Fall is officially here, the holiday activities have begun! We visited the pumpkin patch with some friends, and got a few good shots. Then came Halloween. We had a lovely bride, and a cute little mini-Ash Ketchum (that's Pokemon - for all of you non-amime people). Alex wanted to be Ash, because of course he has to do everything just like his big cousin Seth. They wore these to the Fall Festival at Oakwood. On Halloween evening though, Emma just dug out a Sleeping Beauty gown, and crown, and did her trick-or-treating in that. We hung out on the front porch, and gave out candy bags with tracks, and had pizza.

First day of preschool

The kids had their first day of preschool on Sept. 2. They both absolutely LOVED it! They go 2 days a week, and we still have 3 days off, to just be, or do what we want. There was not a tear in sight with these two - they really didn't even notice that I left. As for Mommy - I was a little emotional - I'm not sure if I was tearing up because I'd just left my "baby" at school for the first time, or if it was because of my excitement over having some time to myself - IN the house! (That's NEVER happened before that I can recall.) Their teachers are great, and we're so excited about this year. Emma has a little group of girls there that she runs around with - hiding from "the boys! - ew!" Alex talks everyday about a little friend that he's made. His teachers told me that he helped them tell the story of Adam and Eve during Bible time - apparently he was really into it. They were impressed that he knew the story so well. :)

Here we go!

OK, so as most of you probably know, I am not incredibly technologically savvy...and yet here I am, blogging! I'm finally giving in. I'm doing this mostly as a tribute to the grandparents, who claim they don't get enough pictures of their grandkids! And to keep all of our friends and family up to speed on the latest answered prayers, and other happenings. Enjoy. :)
