Morning Singing

I woke up to this sweet song!

Norah Longstocking

She is just too adorable in pigtails!!!

Harvest Festival

The primary reason we attend the Harvest Festival in our city is for the pony rides.

Last year only Jared was brave enough.

Rosie joined him this year! Way to go, girl!

And Norah will not be left out of any fun either!

We also got free candy, popcorn, cheap toys, saltwater taffy, and even a new helmet for Norah.

Welcome Fall!

Labor Day Camping

After delaying plans and promises piecemeal all summer long, we went camping on Labor Day. That's right. We went on Labor Day (Monday) and got home just before school started (Tuesday).

Tin foil dinners that were just a little burnt on the bottom

Followed by s'more-y goodness! We use nutella instead of hard, tasteless Hershey's bars, but that is just personal preference!

After a long walk, we all snuggled in our little tent for a little (very little) sleep.

And we got up at the crack of dawn to drizzle and yogurt in the car, so we could get home and showered and send Jared off to school!

Dance Champions

Over the weekend, we attended the wedding reception for Ken's cousin, Rachel. It was a wonderful day for many reasons, but one of my favorites was watching my kids express themselves on the dance floor!

She spent so much time spinning and twirling, it made me dizzy!

Jared truly thought dance prizes were being given out, so he enlisted his sister into this little dance number. I cannot stop watching this over and over!!!!

In Love

Stubborn creativity during naptime

Don't try to tell Norah to sleep in either bunk bed when there is a perfectly good box available!

First day of second grade

We love this kid! He is going to just soar!
