Leaves, leaves and more leaves!!

Savannah loved being in her swing and I don't think she made one peep while she was outside.

It has been the best weather here, especially for November. ( if you can't tell this was a couple of weeks ago but I got a little behind oops :). So it made it very nice when it came time to rake our leaves up last week. Kate thought this was the best thing ever, she especially loved it when i would play in the leaves with her. We had lots of fun, except when it was time to haul them away. We love our little yard and will miss it.

Laughing Savannah

We just had our family over and I don't think Savannah gave one smile to anyone. But as soon as everyone left she decided to go back to the happy excited Savannah that we know. We think it is so funny because she is definitely not serious to us and is especially smiley and laughs at her Dad, but you would never know that. She studies people very intensely and is not giving strangers courtiousy smiles. We thought Kate was a serious baby, boy were we wrong. We recently went and got her pictures done, and of course we got a weird guy named Steven to take the pictures who would make anyone laugh that could actually hear him talk, but not our sweet Savannah she did not find him to amusing. She sat for about 30 minutes just looking at him like you have got to be kidding if you think I'm gonna smile at you. I kept telling him your not going to get her to smile at you and to just take the picture with her being serious, but of course oh Steven thought he could do it. Well he sure did something and it wasn't smile. She was in tears and couldn't even look at him for the rest of the time. So her pictures her eyes are very red and puffy. Poor baby. At least we will always have a funny story to remember with these pictures. This is the cutest video I watch it over and over.

Sitting Pretty

Savannah is growing up so fast. She is getting so strong and is starting to sit so well by herself. It makes it especially fun for her to see her sister, she loves Kate and likes to watch everything she does. I will sometimes here them both laughing at each other and come in to find Kate being miss entertainer.. It is very funny and cute to see your kids love and enjoy each other.

Packed Ready and no Place to Go!!

I had one of the sadest things happen to my family a week ago. I had been secretly planning to go vist my two sick pregnant sisters in Arizona for about a month. They had no idea, and I was so excited to go down and help them, it was going to be so much fun. I had everything planned out and ready except for the tiny detail of the flight. About an hour before we were going to leave to go to the airport I called to confirm that I had a lap child. They had no record of us being on their flight. I was shocked and didn't believe until about an hour of being on the phone. To make a long sad story short, because I was in such a hurry I didn't pick our seats out (which is the final step). So we were really sad and I especially felt awful when Kate was talking about Isaac Man and the white airplane. Some how these stories happen to me more than most people, So remeber to always chose your seats.

Hang On Kate!!!

About 3 months ago Kate finally got to where she wanted to go down this hill in her car by herself. She thinks it is the funnest and always asks to do it. It does make me a little nervous but then again what doesn't :). It is quite hilarious to watch.

Every Halloween needs a Black Cat and a Witch

We were so glad that we made it on time to this years trunk r' treat. Especially because Kate was quite into it this year. She woke up in the morning and wanted to put her costume on because she wanted her red lipstick on that I told her she got to wear on Halloween. She was in quite awe of the candy and couldn't even believe that she was being handed candy after candy. She especially loved it when someone would let her pick out two. She kept checking her bag to make sure it was still all there :). Savannah also had a great first Halloween and didn't even mind her costume. It is quite enjoyable to see your kids have this much fun. We had a great Halloween
