Almost Halloween!

Hard to believe that October is almost over!  We have been busy with school/work/, sports activities and we hope all of our family and friends are doing well.

Addie is now in her cardboard creation phase and this week she worked on a raccoon!

Gorgeous nasturtium STILL blooming

Addie playing hide and seek with Thunder - too cute.

On Sunday, we went to Labrador Unique Area for a walk.

Gorgeous fall day!

After the boardwalk, we went to Tinker Falls 

Hard to tell, BUT water is still trickling over the falls.

After our hike, we carved pumpkins that we grew!

Our 2024 pumpkins!

Ayson (with help from Addie) made us a treat Sunday night!  Thank you, kiddos! 

 

Hello Fall!

Amy did not take any pictures during the week but captured a few fun moments during the weekend.  We hope everyone is doing well and we are sending good thoughts to all!

Emelia came home Friday afternoon on the Bus with Ayson.  Ayson and Emelia played on the trampoline and explored the flowers in the yard.

Festivals and Fun

We had another busy week with work meetings in Rochester for Amy, a Cross Country meet for Addie, and a home football game for Ayson.  It was also Apple Festival weekend and we had fun with friends and family.  Then on Monday, we all had the day off and Addie went to a trampoline park with friends while Ayson wanted to buy a few clothes before his orthodontist appointment.

We hope everyone is doing well and enjoying fall!!

Ayson and Addie played hide and seek with Emmett and Emelia Friday night -the kiddos had so much fun!

A mermaid gave Addie a wish and had her blow bubbles (13) with each year bringing good luck.

Another troll!  We had to answer a riddle this time.

Picture time!

Addie made a good luck potion

What a gorgeous day!

This puzzle was MUCH harder than it looks!

We only found 3 of the 7 fairies hidden around the woods.

But we did find this awesome katydid!

Addie did not ride Brownie but she did get to put her favorite pony at the Apple Festival.

On Sunday, Auntie Julie and Cousin Curran surprised us with a visit and we had fun walking through the many vender tents.  The boys trying the trivia game at the Library both.
