We are Thankful!

This year we have so much to be thankful for. We celebrated with our wonderful families by hosting dinner at our house. The kids had fun playing in our newly renovated play room and the adults enjoyed football and great company.

10 Months Old

Natalie is 10 months old now and she is really making her way around. She loves to be where all of the action is and can crawl just about anywhere she wants to go. On top of moving around quite a bit, Natalie is now pulling herself up on anything she can support herself with. She has several toys, waist level, that she pushes around and takes small steps while supporting herself. She loves following her big brother and sister around the house too! Natalie loves clapping and waving, although she seems to be going through a bit of stranger anxiety as of late, but most of the time she is a very happy girl!

Growing Fast

Natalie is growing so fast! She will be ten months old next week and she is moving everywhere. She crawls very quickly now and we have seen her pulling up onto her knees and even onto her feet once or twice! She loves playing with Aaron and Helena's toys and wants to be everywhere they are. Her new favorite place to play is the Tupperware cabinet. Natalie's final two baby teeth cut through last week and she looks so much older now that she has eight teeth!

Leaves

Aaron, Helena and Natalie had a great time outside playing in the leaves as we started our fall clean up a few weeks ago. We always have tons of leaves that fall in our yard, and it helps that the kids have so much fun playing outside while we get a start on cleaning up!

Helping Out

Halloween and the Stomach Bug

This year Aaron and Daddy celebrated Halloween with Stacie's family by going Trick Or Treating with cousins. Unfortunately, Helena came down with a stomach bug Halloween morning and was not able to join in the fun. She was such a good sport and was feeling well enough by the end of the evening to visit a few houses on our road for treats.

On Saturday we joined cousins Ainsley and Marshall for pumpkin painting and Trick or Treating on Main Street in Manchester. The girls had lots of fun together!
