Summer/Fall Recap

So we've been absent from the blog world since May...my apologies for any of our regular viewers. I could tell you that we've been busy, that our computer is pretty slow when it comes to downloading then uploading pictures, blah, blah, blah...but I'll spare you and just say I have no legitimate excuse. (By the way, I'm now on Facebook and regularly post photos there because it is so easy from my phone.)


Anyway...back to what you are really looking for...PICTURES!


Here is a recap of things we did this summer and fall...be sure to click "older posts" at the bottom to see all the new ones. :o)

Happy Halloween!

Had a blast in Gatlinburg over Fall Break

We spent Fall Break with 8 other families, in one cabin, in Gatlinburg, TN this year.  The kids had so much fun!  (The adults really enjoyed ourselves too!)  There were a total of 19 kids and 16 adults, did I mention in ONE cabin?! :o)

As you will see, this cabin had an indoor pool, game room (complete with arcade games, pool and air hockey tables,) a theater room and 8 bedrooms!

Random aerial view of our house


I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to ride in a helicopter recently.  The pilot kindly offered to fly over our house so I was able to snap these cool pictures. :o) 

Went to the orchard







Met new baby Abbie

(my best friend Kelly's new baby)



Austin got a new 'big boy' bed


(Lilly refuses to leave her crib...she has recently started telling us, "When Daddy buys me a princess bed, I'll stop sleeping in my baby bed." I can see we're in trouble with this one already!)

Lilly got a new hairstyle


Played with friends



Had fun at daycare
