Find Noah

I know.....how cute!

Fall Field Trips

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Here in NC, when it starts to cool off and the leaves change colors, there's no place I'd rather be. However, we're still suffering from the heat of the summer. This week the temperatures have hit the mid 90's and the lack of rain is apparent looking around our dead yard and dying trees......fall is a thing nearly forgotten.

We're still trying to enjoy the regular fall festivities. We've made trips to the Lazy 5 ranch, Deal Orchard, Murray's Mill and a few days from now Patterson Farms Pumpkin Patch.

Joseph is in Pre-school 3 days a week. He really enjoys this time on his own. Noah enjoys having his Mommy to himself. I must say, however, that they really love to get back together at the end of the day. They have become best friends and I couldn't ask for anything else.

Joseph has become quite the artist. He loves to draw, everything and anything. He sets up things to draw and gets into a lot of detail. He also thinks he's Spanish. He loves anything Spanish and is trying his hardest to learn the language. He even tries to read books in Spanish, making up words when he doesn't know them.

Noah recently found the joys of books. I thought I was lucky to have one child that loved books (Joseph). Add Noah to the deal and I know I'm blessed. What a great time we have, going to the book store, getting that stack of books and falling into a world of imagination.

My dad will be here in 1 week. We're all anxiously awaiting his arrival. He'll stay for 2 weeks! We're going to have a great time.

We're also going to take the boys to Nebraska for Christmas! I've not been home in 2 years so I'm thrilled. Tim graduates in May, so we'll be there and back again in August for Lindsey's wedding. We've got a busy year ahead of us.

I hope everyone is having a great October. Time just keeps flying by. Hopefully I'll write again before November.

One last thing......is anyone reading these posts??? Let me know!
