We had a wonderful surprise visit from one of Ashley's college roommates, Kristina and her family. Ashley had so much fun visiting with her and catching up. Pictured, is Ashley's friend Emily & her boys with Kristina, her husband Joel and her brand new 6 week old baby Westin.
Ashley, Emily and Kristina. Met in their teens, now in their 30's!
It felt like we spent A LOT of September at soccer games. Nathan and Daniel both played this fall. Here Nathan is pictured at one of his games.
Daniel's favorite part of soccer was receiving his medal at the end of the season and seeing what he was going to get for snack each week after the game!
Lizzy actually had so much fun playing with soccer balls during the soccer season. She really enjoyed running and kicking the ball. In fact, she seemed a little bit more into soccer than the boys!
Almost 7 years old!
Lizzy, with her key accessories-- her "night night" i.e. yellow blanket she's attached to and her sparkily pink purse with all her treasures.
We had a fun visit one Sunday evening from Mimi. The kids love playing with her. Here they were outside drawing pictures with chalk.
One momentous thing that happened in September is that Rachel learned to walk. Once she started, she never stopped!
The girls love spending time with Ashley's mom.
Ashley took the kids to the Hoggle Zoo one Saturday afternoon. Rachel insisted on walking around the zoo.
She would NOT ride in the stroller. She insisted on being a big girl like the other kids! She is 1 1/2 going on 3!
Lizzy was a little bit unsure about some of the animals. She didn't fully understand that the gates and glass between us would protect her from harm!
Daniel LOVED being able to read the zoo map. And, insisted on navigating us around the zoo.
We finally got to see the cute baby elephant that was born last year at the zoo.
Our little soccer player!
