Nathan loved raking leaves this year and spent many afternoons creating big piles to jump into.
Lizzy 2 1/2 yrs. old
Lizzy had fun raking leaves too with her little mini rake.
The girls LOVED climbing into the big leaf piles and playing in them.
It was their favorite thing to do all fall...
Until someone got hurt!
Nathan enjoying the 'fruits of his labors'!
Nathan does not like to pose for pictures!
Rachel loved to sit in our little yellow VW bug. Lizzy really had learned to drive it by the end of fall.
Nathan is so thrilled that he can ride a bike now!
Rachel 1 1/2 yrs. old
It was so warm, we even had popsicles!
Daniel, almost 7
Our little kitty.
Ashley bought these fun little yellow boots at TJ Maxx and she couldn't keep her kids out of them!
Daniel has refused to sleep in the room that he and Nathan share because he insists Nathan snores. But, Nathan refuses to be alone, so when he wakes up to go to the bathroom at night, he goes looking for Daniel. And, then eventually end up somewhere together, whether Daniel likes it or not!
Daniel entered an art competition at his school and came home the other day with a 2nd place metal. He doesn't know for what, but this is the picture he submitted! We're thinking maybe 2nd place for 1st graders? Not sure....
The potty-training efforts continue... Rachel has become very interested in Lizzy's potty and Lizzy is very posessive of it-- whether she needs to use it or not!
Swim lessons are a big part of our Saturdays. We invited Dave's parents to come watch on the last session of the fall. It was a small miracle that Rachel has a bow in her hair in this picture. She would rather pull out her own hair than keep a bow in it! She refuses to wear bows.
Nathan in his class

Nathan learning the back stroke. The other boy in the picture is his friend Gabriel Coletti.
We had our first small snow storm of the season.
Rachel in all of her snow gear.
Rachel kept wanting to walk in the snow but then she would get stuck and the boys would carry her back to safety.
The boys taught Lizzy how to eat snow and she thought that was so much fun.
