Playing Catch-Up!!

Wow!  Time has flown by and life has gotten crazy busy.  :)  I've wanted to post some pictures of our happenings last fall. . . 

We met again with our Make-A-Wish granters and donors.  This sweet girl chose to grant Kayla's wish in honor of her best friend's sister who was killed in a car accident.  She and her family came to meet us and brought the Kayla some special presents (including the Cinderella dress she's wearing) and some things for all of the kids.  

We celebrated Sadie's 1st birthday on October 6th!  She is super cute and super busy and was a huge fan of her chocolate cake.  That's my girl!

I spent a good amount of the fall canning salsa, peaches, pears, jam and applesauce.  My parents (and whoever else can come) help out each year and we have a massive applesauce canning day.  If I remember correctly, we canned about 400lbs of apples in 2 days.  We have our groove down!

 For Halloween, Sadie was my little sack of flour (she weighed 25lbs then).  I got to use my prego pumpkin shirt again.  

And we have Fancy Nancy (love that Lily could throw that together 5 minutes before we went to our church trunk or treat), Cinderella, Buzz Lightyear, and a football player.  

(Out of order) Kayla's birthday was on the 30th.  I was hoping to have the baby any day, so we were throwing together parties at the last minute when I was still here. . .this picture was taken at school.

 And we can't forget Lily's birthday!  November 2nd.  Thanks Grammy and Pa for the warm jackets, they love them!

  

Nathan and Kayla played soccer in the fall.  Kayla was quite the little player!  She would go right after the ball and scored lots of points.  It was her first time playing and she loved it.  Here is a fun action shot of her right after she kicked the ball.  She always kicked with her left foot and did this little hop.  It was kind of funny, but it sure got the job done!
