Go Phillies!!!!

Of course, we are big Phillies fans in our house. Daddy wouldn't have it any other way! So, in honor of the teams return to the World Series...we got as close to Phillies wear as possible.

Connor's been wearing his Phillies hat to school everyday...even the bus driver is a Phillies fan.
(I'll have to get a picture tomorrow. )

Mitchells shirt...underneath all that drool...says Daddy's team! Sure is. He and Jackson were waiting for the start of the game with anticipation.



Here, they're so excited they can hardly hold it together. Okay, not really. The truth is...we got everyone bathed and pretty much to bed before the end of the first inning. Daddy eventually went downstairs to watch...and hoot and holler all he wanted. He came to bed around 11:30-ish...with a big smile on his face and told mommy that the Phils had won big time. 6-1, I think. Yeah. Go Phillies.

Fabulous Fall

We've had a fun fall here at our house. Granted it's rained more days than I care to count, but we've been enjoying the season none the less.

In the beginning of October we went to our neighbors and picked up some pumpkins. The boys had a blast...and helped me to arrange them on the porch. Here's the results...



This weekend Aunt Lynn was over. She pulled out our biggest, best butcher knife...and performed major surgery....

Here's the end results! She drew out a few options for the boys to choose from. They picked the happy, nice jack o' lantern! Pretty cute, huh...

Here's another big milestone to report. Mitchell is sitting up by himself. He's not rock solid quite yet....but he's getting there. He loves to sit up and grab whatever is in front of him....which of course ends up in his mouth. (Excuse his dirty, dirty face...he just finished with a bitter biscuit and I wanted to take the picture quick while everyone was still happy!)





Whenever the boys see me with the camera out...they all get really excited and want to pose. So, I always try to get a few pics.
Here are the boys going head to head...in a good way. Sawyer was too into watching Thomas the Tank Engine to join in. Look at those smiles! What a bunch...


Again, ignore Mitchell's stained face...and the big toes sticking into the bottom of the picture. Details...details...
I am amazingly blessed.
