We had a fun weekend...my parents were in town! This leads to great fun for the kids, less dish washing for me, running errands by myself, and a lunch date with my hubbie. THANKS Mom and Dad!
The girls loved playing and reading books. They went for a picnic lunch at their favorite playground, played games and did lots of giggling.
We took them to the rock garden in town so we could take pictures of the girls. I love doing this each fall. Toward the end it was getting a little too dark, so we may need to go again. It's always a challenge to get all three girls to look at the camera and smile at the same time. I believe it falls under the category of a "miracle." :)
We also went to a pumpkin patch. We debated because the weather was cloudy and cool, but I am glad we went. We practically had the place to ourselves. The girls rode a pony, went down the big slide, rode big trikes, and we enjoyed the wagon ride to pick out a pumpkin. We convinced Analise to pick a big one to carve. She loves small things usually.
We also did a little shopping at the mall. It was time to buy Analise some new athletic shoes. It's like she outgrew hers overnight. She's four and wearing a size 12 now! We had a hard time finding some, but the last store came through for us. I never thought I would be a mom that bought Nike shoes for her girls, but in the last month I have bought some for both Maisie and Analise. We looked for other shoes, but I don't like "characters" on shoes. That rules many out. Now both girls think they can run fast!
Sadie is doing great! My parents couldn't believe how content and happy she is. Of course she loved all the extra attention, too. She is sleeping mostly through the night and doing well with cereal in her bottles. I'm still waiting to hear from my doctor about her oxygen; it's been over three weeks.
Hope you are having a happy harvest!

Pam, those pictures are beautiful! They look like professionally done pics...are you sure you aren't a photographer in disguise? Sounds like you had a fun weekend with your parents...always a treat. Analise's shoe size amazed me. She is just slightly smaller in the foot than Lauren! I hope you get good news on the oxygen for Sadie soon!

PS I understand about the shoes. It is hard to find them without characters. And I cannot convince Lauren that certain shoes do NOT make you run faster.
Love the new pics. They are CUTE!! The girls, too. :) It's so nice to hear that your parents were out for a visit. And you'll be around sometime at Christmas!! I'll definitely make some time for a coffee. Well, maybe a smoothie. :) I love that you make time to blog. I feel connected to you better. Hopefully now that I'm starting to feel better, I can keep up on mine. Oh, the shoes!!!! Aleah is just now between 11-12. Hmm...she must have height somewhere in her genes. LOL love ya!!
