Busy Busy Busy

Busy lately! WOW! But very fun stuff. We started our Ladies Meetings at church, and that is always a blessing! We also had a church activity at Apple Jack Orchards. Of course, we forgot our camera; so didn't get any pictures - bummer! It was fun; and we got some yummy Honeycrisp apples, a caramel apple!, and some apple donuts. YUM! There was a lot of things to do for Jack - a pony ride, a cow tractor ride - so cute, the apple shooter, and hay piles to climb on and slide down. It was a great time. This coming up Sunday is Harvest Home Sunday with a full turkey dinner - can't wait! We've also been able to have some friends over, and Jack had friends sleep over so that their parents could go on a 10 year anniversary weekend. We had a great time with them. And of course seeing family is the best, so we've been able to squeeze a little of that in, too!

Ava is now 3 months old. She went through a screaming phase last week almost like she was teething, but I think it's a little early for that! And now she seems happier and back to herself. Smiling more and more, and I'm adjusting more now, too! I had a fun organizing day yesterday - going through our stuff to give to Goodwill and going through Jack's and Ava's clothes for some other lucky young child! And just doing some housey stuff. I love a fun project that makes the house look better. Whenever I start to feel cramped, I know it's time to declutter!

Jack has started Cubbies and is learning lots of verses now. I'm excited and glad for him! He's learning things like how to keep his hands to himself and how to be nice to his friends and his teachers - that's their rules. Pretty good ones!

I'm all of a sudden so looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas shopping and then Christmas. All of the family together - or most of them at least! Hint Hint - Nancy and Chris and Alicia! By the way, Happy Birthday, Alicia! Hope you had a great birthday. Love you!
