Fall Fun

Natalie's bed is still a huge hit. They girls enjoy sleeping in it together and Natalie will even say she is lonely without Julia.

When we were leaving dance the other day Julia said, "Hey Mom, look at that heart in the tree!" 

And just because, here is Max and his sock.

Jeff and I having fun with Natalie at the 1st graders picnic!

Julia and her friend Hadley.

Julia was so proud of the puzzle we put together.

Poor Max.

Hanging out with the girls at a birthday party.

Julia, after I picked her up from a sleep over at Mi Mi's.

The girls goofing around at Old Navy.

Julia and Acacia being dorks.

Julia is playing soccer this year and she really is enjoying it. They didn't have enough little girls for a team so they just get lots of practice.

And here are a couple videos from practice number two. She is the one in the purple shirt.

It was parent watch at gymnastics the other night, so I thought I would take some photos of the girls in action! Julia is in a navy bottom and pink and white polkadot top. Natalie is in a purple, pink and teal leotard.

I got some new flowers for the front porch and evidently they attract butterflies. I have never seen so many Monarch's! They are so beautiful and huge!

And I will end this post with a very peppy Collegiate school cheer courtesy of Julia. 

September Fun!

We met some of Jeff's family for a nice lunch the other day! It was great to catch up.

Kendra and I have been meeting for lunch and these two, are jut too much!

Just Julia. 

We had a sleep over with Clare. It went great!

We had an extra guest over Labor Day and had a great time!

Natalie and Abbie at her 7th birthday party.

After the birthday party hanging out at Jason's Deli!

And later that night. So sweet.

Jeff and I getting dressed up to head out for a wedding reception.

The girls with us!

Max got a bad stomach bug and was pretty pathetic for a while. He is back to normal now!

Whole Foods opened here and we took the girls to see what all the hype is about! The seafood manager gave them gloves and let them touch the fish. Oddly enough, Julia wasn't interested.

Julia and I went to lunch with Pa Pa Don and she wanted to have a photo of her dough art.

Natalie and her friends after school on a rainy day.

Ginna's son is getting married so we took her out for a lunch to celebrate!

Natalie had a "blue" day at school, which is the best color they can get. I was so proud of her we went for ice cream to celebrate!

We had parents night at school and here are some examples of Natalie's work.

And last but not least, Natalie got a new bed. And this just isn't any bed. It arrived via Freight.

And the dropped a pallet in our garage.

This is the before with her twin bed.

And of course Julia wanted to help.

And four hours later, we have completed the assembly! They girls love it and Natalie is in heaven.
