 Favorite pic of the girls!  Savanna on left.

This Fall we decided to update our family pics outside.  My friend from high school who took the girls birthday pics also did our family pics.  We really got some good pics that day.  Ron and I love the outdoor setting!  Savanna had a little more single shots then Ella because she was having a better day.  Ella was just getting over being sick so she wasn't completely herself yet.  Overall, they both did great and I was able to get at least one family picture that I love.  So it was a successful photo shot!  This Thanksgiving, the girls really enjoyed eating turkey and cranberries!  Since they couldn't participate in this last Thanksgiving, they really got their full this year.  These girls really like to eat!  Ron and I are so thankful for our little girls!  They bring such joy to our lives!  I can't imagine life being any different.

Halloween Fun!

Library Group!

 Daddy's  Birthday!

The girls had a great Halloween!  For the first time, they went trick or treating around the neighborhood and really got the hang of it!  Savanna really wanted to eat her goldfish crackers out of her bag but had to wait until she got home.  Ella just enjoyed going to each house filling up her bag.  The girls also celebrated at their library group.  They got to wear their costumes, read Halloween books and sing songs.  They had a blast!  In October, we also celebrated Daddy's 30 birthday!  The girls wore cute Halloween tutus and really enjoyed being with the family.

Ella loved the pumpkin patch and didn't want to leave!

We spent the day at Cosley Zoo which is celebrating the month of October by adding a pumpkin patch.  The weather was beautiful and we had a fun time spending the morning there.  Ella especially loved the pumpkin patch area.  She cried when we left!  Savanna enjoyed walking around the field area.  Both girls really liked their small pumpkins.  I think they like the fact that they can hold it easily.  What a fun day at the zoo!

Eating at our trailer!

Well we found out two new things about the girls from our trip (as Daddy says) the girls are great little campers and they love grilled cheese!  We couldn't have asked for a better trip!  The weather was beautiful everyday and the family was all together to share this first experience with us.  We went on many walks through the campsite and visited the beach a few times.  Along with a visit to the Apple Fest in town and to make the trip complete a night out at Port Sandy Bay Restaurant (where the girls had their first grilled cheese.)  I have to admit I was a little nervous about how the girls were going to do on their first trip but was so pleased to know that they really enjoy their time there and that they slept in their pack n plays.  Mommy and Daddy can't wait to take the girls again next year!    

Toddler Food!

We are in full swing with eating like toddlers now!  Today for lunch we had pasta pick-ups, strawberries and chesse.  The girls really enjoy feeding themselves now.  I was a little sad giving them their first big kid meal because it is another end to babyhood but also happy for them because now they can enjoy even more kinds of food!  Oh how they have grown since the old days of just rice cereal.  They are such big girls now!

Our New Wagon!

Daddy just built our new wagon and we had to take it for a spin around the block!  The girls love it!  I think they especially like that they can see from both sides where they are going.  I can see us using this wagon a lot as the girls grow.  So much fun!!!

Fall Is In The Air!
