A Look Back On October

October was a busy month. 80 degree weather helped keep us moving. We spent time at the beach as a family. Abbey completed her first book report. I hiked with the babes, and we picked apples. The girls dressed up as their favorite characters and enjoyed many Halloween activities. Mark and I got a chance to see one of our favorite musicians, and I got to tour the Dousm@n Co@ch House, a historical landmark, with a great friend.

What A Wonderful Day

Cari and Ellie attend a preschool that is also a summer camp. The teachers are wonder and nurturing, and the scenery surrounding the school is amazing. Today the girls and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and hiked the grounds. We were lucky enough to catch a lot of wildlife in action. The horses at the stables came to visit us, and we caught a glimpse of a deer, and some wild turkeys. We even saw the flight of a monarch butterfly. However, the chipmunks were much too quick for my lil girls. We ended up hiking for over an hour without any melt downs. I do know two little girls who took a good nap this afternoon. Dare I admit this, but I might have fallen asleep too.

The World In Motion

Carina had to jump off the curb of her favorite flower bed before we left the zoo. As you can see, the wheels are turning and her world is in motion.

When Life Gives You Lemons...........

When life gives you lemons, just eat them like Ellie did. Ellie, enjoyed the lemon wedge from a strawberry lemonade at a recent family dinner. I enjoyed the the numerous faces she made while eating it.

The Swing Set That Love Built

Early this summer, I told Mark that we needed to look into getting the girls a swing set. Mark drew up the blueprints, and cut the wood himself. With a little bit of creativity, and a lot of hard work, the girls swing set came to life. It is still a work in progress, but fully operational none the less.
