Fall 2010

This fall has been busy so far!  Owen came down with his first real sickness; Bronchitis. He is all better now :)  Jason broke his toe/foot a few weeks ago when he ran into the baby gate :(  and he had to wear a boot for a couple weeks. There was a concern that if it didn't heal properly, he would need pins put in his foot. He fractured it in two spots- very painful! Luckily, it seems to be getting better and he is able to wear shoes again! Taylor has been busy keeping up with her school work and Girl Scouts. She has been doing terrific this year, we are so proud of her! All A's and B's except for one C which was due to a missed assignment. But she's working hard to bring that grade up! We told her if she can make the A/B honor roll, we will throw her a huge slumber party with her friends. I finally used my Real Estate license and signed up with Keller Williams Realty. I've been busy doing Real Estate computer work and mailings for a local Broker with Keller. I'm getting my feet wet to see if this might be something I'm interested in pursuing further, and I'm enjoying it so far. Down the road, I'll be helping with Open Houses!

The weather here has finally started to cool down. We had a month where we didn't have to have the AC or the heat on in the house and it was soooo nice! We were able to open the windows and doors and enjoy the fresh air! However, the last week has been chilly!! We are excited to be able to start cooking some of our favorite winter dishes again. Last weekend, Jason made homemade Split Pea, Potato and Ham soup! It was soooo good! I LOVE having a husband that loves to cook!

We took the kids to Carrigan Farms again this year to take the hayride and pick out pumpkins. It was a lot of fun! Taylor brought along her friend Brianna and the kids had fun petting the animals and waling the pumpkin patch in search of the best pumpkin. Of course, Jason was concerned with finding the largest pumpkin- thank goodness we went before he injured his foot! Owen finally got to sit on the tractor this year and was hamming it up waiving at all the admirers!

For Halloween, the Taylor dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood and Owen as Robin (Boy Wonder). They both looked ADORABLE and got way too much candy! It only took Owen a couple of houses to figure out what the Trick-or-Treat thing was all about. After that, it was "all systems go" and he was running from house to house trying to keep up with Taylor. They were too cute!

I have tons of pictures to post from Halloween and also some from Taylor's B-day/Slumber Party. I'll get those on here as soon as I can find the time.

We hope everyone is doing well! Love you all and MISS YOU MORE!!!! XOXOXOX
