Abigail has been asking for a couple of years now if she could get her ears pierced. So, just a few weeks ago we took her to get it done. She was pretty nervous but was very brave and followed through! Her ears look very cute and she's super excited about it. It's hard to believe how fast she's growing up, but we are so proud of her and who she's becoming. Also another new thing for Abigail is that she started taking piano lessons. She's doing great and picking it up like a natural. She's got great rhythm. She must have gotten that from mom! It's so much fun to watch her grow and develop into her own person. Below is a picture of her new earrings.
She also just finished another great fall season of soccer. She's quite the soccer player and very fast on the field. Can't wait to watch her play for years to come!
Wyatt is loving kindergarten. We are so glad we sent him this year. He loves his teacher and classmates, and of course, recess! He's learning a lot and has even been bringing home little books that he's made and is able to read them to Jeff and I. He still enjoys lots of play dates with his friends and is really looking forward to starting Basketball in January. B-ball is his sport!! He's becoming a wonderful big brother too. As Shane continues to get older he finds that he likes having him around to play with. Oh, he's in the way sometimes but for the most part Wyatt is patient with Shane and loves to play with him. We know he'll continue to be a wonderful big brother to his new baby sister. Here's a recent picture of Wyatt at the lego table at school.
Shane is getting so big. He turns 2 next week. I can't believe it. I still think of him as my baby but he definitely thinks he's one of the big kids. He wants to be just like Abigail and Wyatt. He's getting quite the attitude and personality, but he's still just as sweet as ever. I'm not sure what we did to deserve him! Hopefully that sweet disposition will stick around when his new little sister arrives. Here's a recent picture of Shane picking some flowers for mommy.
Jeff and I are doing great. We are excited to have our fourth child in January. Still no name picked out yet but don't worry mom, we'll pick one eventually! :) We are looking forward to the holidays and are excited to see lots of family. It will be a busy couple of months from here on out. In November we've got Shane's b-day and Thanksgiving. Then in December we've got Abigail's 8th b-day, her baptism, Christmas, and New Years. Somewhere in there we've got to get ready for Christmas and the baby. Then shortly after New Years i'll POP and have a baby! At least the last few months of pregnancy won't really drag on. It should go by pretty quickly.
And lastly, I took the kids to the pumpkin patch so they could pick out pumpkins for Halloween. We had a great time and it was a beautiful day. I love Seattle when the sun is shining! We had some friends with us and they all had so much fun. The girls loved the corn maze and the boys loved the tractor, of course. :) Here's a couple of pictures from our day.
Yum! Popcorn balls...
