Visit to St. Louis

Hard to believe that we were able to leave with the three (under the age of 3)but my sister Katie flew out here to help me fly back with the three little ones. What a workout that was -- not easy to manage the three of them which made a 3 1/2 hour flight seem like FOREVER!! Anyway, we made it and it was a good visit!! We were able to see quite a few of my friends in St. Louis and my grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins. We were trick or treating on Main Street and around my old neighborhood which was very fun. Caroline and Hannah loved having different toys to play with and Andrew, well Andrew just liked to be held which happened much more than I am able to at home which was wonderful for him!! We made it back safe and sound (and a little insane) I might add!

Pumpkin patch

October did not provide very good weather so we had to wear boots the day we went to the pumpkin patch! The girls loved it --picking out all of the pumpkins, pretending like they were drums, running through the fields and picking up the dried gourds. It was hard to contain them and the pictures were hard to snap! Andrew was just along for the ride in the front carrier. Wait till next year!

Finally summer arrived!

We have had such a dismal summer with very little sunshine and definitely no warm temperatures. So finally, last week, summer arrived and it was wonderful. We went to the beach, to the pool, had BBQs and played outside. The girls finally got to wear their summer sundresses and shorts and Andrew's legs were exposed for the first time! The rains came all too soon but we enjoyed our week of wonderful summer weather!
