1st Lost Tooth!

The tooth fairy visited our house Saturday night after Addi lost her first tooth...she was very excited! She came in our room at 2AM to let us know that the tooth fairy hadn't been yet...and then in again at 6 waving her dollar in the air so excited that she had finally come. It's so funny to see her with that toothless smile though...

Sisters...

Here's a cute pic of Addi reading a book to her little sister...trying to keep her occupied while I took a quick shower...how sweet! :)

Jake's Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Jake's class from Grace Heartland went to Hinton's Orchard last week...we went on a hayride, petted the baby calves, watched the apples get washed and sorted, went through the corn maze, picked our own pumpkin out of the patch, and played on the haystack playground. Jake had a great time, but his favorite part of the day was playing with the hula hoop he found on the ground outside the store...he could have played with that all day I think!

Last day of fall break...

Mommy was very brave on the last day of fall break and ventured out to Funtopia with all 3 kids by myself. Actually it went very smooth...the kids had a great time playing together and Anna was quite happy sleeping away in her stroller. I don't think I'm ready for all 3 at the grocery just yet, but I'm getting there! :)

Pumpkin Patch at Huber's

We spent the day Friday at Joe Huber's and thankfully Grammy went along to help out...we're outnumbered now you know. The kids favorite part of the day was the hayride (there was no actual hay on the wagon as Addi pointed out, but it was probably better for everyone's allergies that way anyway!) and the pumpkin patch...the pumpkin patch is huge...pumpkins as far as you can see. Anna was very good and didn't seem to mind the trip at all...in fact she slept through most of the day. So, we now have pumpkins on our porch, smaller pumpkins to paint, and one teeny pumpkin for Anna. It was a great day.

Anna at home...

Yes, we brought Anna home 3 weeks ago, but I've been a little busy (imagine that!) so haven't had time to post new pics and updates. As you can see from the pictures the kids were thrilled to have their baby sister at home with them. They've been very good with her so far...helping out a lot with getting diapers, her paci, and various other things she needs. Jake loves to "pet her" on the head and Addi loves holding her baby sister. The first week or so was a little rough getting used to everything, but we seem to be settling in to things pretty well now...at least for the moment! :)
