October

Life is busy, it's usually easier to stay home than drag the kids around to do something fun. Sometimes I muster the energy and we go to the park or hit the trails. 

Happenings this month:

Riding along the Riverdale parkway and soon realizing it was right where the tornado had blown through. 

Ellie's picture day at preschool. 

Playing outside, Lucy is becoming more independent and playing on her own. She doesn't try and put every rock in her mouth, it's a relief.

Giving up on my garden, we got plenty from it and I was done tending to it. 

Ellie and Lucy wearing matching outfits to church.

Ellie becoming more independent and capable. Made her own peanut butter and banana sandwich and it blew my mind. 

Free day to the Natural History Museum with Jack and Owen.

Breaking out the Halloween costumes early and letting Ellie wear her last years dinosaur costume wherever she wants.

Jared's impromptu mission reunion....always fun!

Family photos....we traded with someone in our ward and we love them!
