More Field Trips and a Haircut

In case you don't remember from when Micah was in kindergarten, this teacher LOVES field trips.  I believe these were the 5th and 6th trips this year.

The Tallmadge Fire Department is across the street from the school, so we got to walk for this trip!


Firefighter Dave answered the question "What's that?" about 8 million times.

Hannah dressed as a doctor for "community helper day".  Then she magically turned into a vet at school when she found out that's what her friend was.  :)

...and a haircut!  It was time for a change, so I donated 13 inches.  I feel so light!

School Stuff

Micah and Owen
These pictures are from September - Micah at his buddy Owen's birthday.  There was bad weather, so they changed the venue to the school gym for the boys to have room to play.

a friend took these two pictures on one of Hannah's September field trips

 Matthew and I have been doing "kid's gym" on Friday mornings this fall.  (Free play for ages 1-3 at the YMCA)  I'm pretty sure this is the first activity we've ever done that is actually for him, rather than him just tagging along to his sibling's events.  :)  He loves running on the tumble track, jumping off mats, and flipping on the bars.  For a three-year-old, I think he's fairly strong and coordinated.



This picture is from a school project Hannah is working on where she has to "interview" various community helpers.  Of course we went to see Miss Sarah at her library.  In general Hannah feels shy and nervous about talking to adults, but she said it was easy to talk to Miss Sarah.  It just makes my heart happy that we have such special people in our lives.

Fall Stuff

The kids and I went to Dussell farm one afternoon this week to pick out pumpkins.








Yesterday I went with Hannah's class to Cuyahoga Valley National Park.


In Ohio standards, this is basically a mountain.  ;)
