September, October

Instead of apologizing or explaining why we haven't posted in a while, I thought I'd avoid that conversation altogether and compensate with a bunch of pictures.

 We've been going to the library every two weeks or so. Nora has moved on from the board books, and can actually listen to regular picture books now. Charlie is more into the action of a book, as you can see!

This is what happens when Mary Grace goes out for the night. Something has gone wrong, terribly wrong, so just add it to our collection of bad parenting shots.
Just kidding. This is a picture of a campfire at Grandmama's house. Ben swears she's not crying...

 Lots of beautiful weather here, so lots of park days.

 Nora's best friends, Reese and Claire.

 Charlie sits up and plays like a champ now - no more flopping over. He's not mobile yet (a fact for which I am quite grateful), but we know it won't be too much longer. He also says "mama." And lots of other repetitive syllables, so I know it's not quite the real thing, but I still love it!

 Nora started preschool (one day a week) this fall! I had a lump in my throat the first day I dropped her off, but she loves it. The Elmo pack-pack, her new friends, snack time and art, her sweet teacher, loves it all.

Stay tuned for Halloween pictures. Which will hopefully be posted sometime before Christmas...
