Sick Sick

So... the delay for blogging was mainly due to the girls and I being sick for the past two weeks. The girls had VERY high fevers coming and going. I was hit with a major head cold or sinus infection which I am still trying to get through. Just wanted to let you know that for the next few days I do plan on updating. I am very behind and have a lot to post.

Beautiful Fall

I told Matt that if I could, I would be buried here. So gorgeous!

This weekend we did a bit of driving. The first day I did not have my camera, and I was really bummed. The second day I did not make the same mistake. As always, pictures don't capture the full majesty of it. It truly takes my breath away. Both Matt and I agree that this year has been amazing with the brilliance of colors. The last two years have not been this vibrant, and even people that have been here for 50 years say that this is a great year. Enjoy a piece of our fall.

Pumpkin Painting

We decided this year that painting pumpkins would be better than carving..... at the time. You see, the girls don't really enjoy the mess of carving. They don't last a full month if we open them up. So, we will paint some, and carve some. Now that Halloween is this week, Matt will probably get our large pumpkin and turn it into something great. Until then.... the paint is great!

Our "baby" is two!

For several months Emily had been noticing that Mya and Mommy had "pretties", but she did not. She would pull on her ear and say, "ee-wie". We wanted to wait until her Birthday to have her ears pierced. S0, that is just what we did. It was a bit after the piercing before she started crying. It was that long gasp before she let the cry out. It only lasted until dad came to the rescue, and THEN she got a sucker. Everything is made better with a sucker! Mya tells us every day how much she likes "Enimly's new earings".
