Fall 2007

Noah in the fall of 07 at the same age Maeve is right now.  Unbelievable!  They look SO different!!!

Fall

Well, I don't like any weather that demands the presence of a jacket, but seeing my little ones play in leaves makes it almost worth it.  Noah is so plugged in to his surroundings and engaged in seasons that it is awesome to hear and see his observations.  He was so excited to rake leaves and jump in piles.  Maeve just wanted me to push her on the swing and could care less about leaves.   Every season with my two little monsters is absolutely wonderful.....

Delaware Museum of Natural Science

We have gone to the Delaware Natural Science Museum many times.  They have a huge dinosaur bone exhibit that we love.  It is a super kid friendly place where the little ones can run around.  Plus there are tons of animals which is always a plus for us.  On election day we were looking for a play place and all decided to go here.  Well, they totally revamped their kid's room and it was AWESOME!!!  They have lots of live animals and staff walking around with them for kids to touch -- snakes, dragons, spiders, turtles and more!!  They have a (pretend) bat cave with (pretend) bats for the kids to play with.  They have an eagles nest -- my kid has been making "nests" everywhere for months!  It was truly a wonderful day and the perfect thing for all ages... we LOVED it!!!

Of course, Maevey only wanted to go up and down this little step over and over and over, but she was happy!!! 

Girl's Night Minus 1

Leslie, this one's from you and for you.  We love you and miss you.

Halloween 2010

Well, this year didn't quite turn out as planned, but it was still wonderful!  We had lots of events leading up to Halloween including Noah's school party, the town parade, and an event at a local church.  So, when Halloween day came and we all got sick, it wasn't so bad that we didn't go out trick or treating!!!  We spent the night on the couch, watching TV and alternating turns in the bathroom -- YUCK!!!!

Noah's School Party

 

Herr's Potato Chip Factory has an awesome trick or treat through the factory with tons of free potato chips!

 

Noah was trying on my bible costume for my elementary party.  We filled it with 2 of all of his animals!

 

We carved pumpkins

 

Noah wanted to add the hat

 

At West Grove UMC Trunk or Treat Event -- AWESOME!!!

 

Even though we missed the main event, it was such a fun holiday this year.  It is great to see Noah's enthusiasm for everything and just marvel at his sweet spirit.  Next year, maybe we'll convince him to be something other than a dinosaur!!!

Silly Girl

 

This is my silly girl, just playing by herself...

Homemade beauty

I know she doesn't look happy here, but this sweater is just amazing! A man at our church knit it for her and it has the best star buttons! He said it's called a magic sweater because when you knit it it looks nothing like a sweater but then you make a few snips and wallah it's a sweater!!! She looks adoreable in it!!
