hello everyone! Our blogs seem to be getting further and further apart...sorry! Life is very fun and VERY FULL! We had a blast in october with - not only the kids- but my first ever real pumpkin patch out in the mountains with real apple orchards and real farm animals and a corn maze that pretty much made the trip worthwhile:)
We spent a lot of time picking out the perfect pumpkins that still sit on our front deck UNCARCARVED!!! Oh well...next year...who wants to give kids knives anyway?:) The unfortunate part of our blended family is that we have to share holidays and this year the kids were with thier mom for halloween so I don't have any pictures yet of them to show, but kyla was a genie(gigi made the beautiful costume) and Logan was a ninja. Elliot was a ridiculously cute duck/chicken
. We got together with friends of ours Brooke and Chris Amys with their adorable almost 7 month old baby girl who is the lady bug. We went to our neighborhood halloween bash...literally the most festive halloween scene I have ever been a part of. The other side of the lake has amazing very old and historic homes that just go all out. people everywhere. Needless to say, we were there for all of 45 minutes and left to head off any baby meltdowns. Next year we hope to make it a full hour:)

Next year we hope to make it a full hour:) On the downside, Danny has broken yet another bone....arrgghh...he managed to tear ligaments and fracture his left ankle while trying to be superman. He tries so hard to be everywhere at the same time and ends up in situations like this. He was playing volleyball in the yard with kyla and fell over...i mean...a great big bear came out of the woods and he saved us all:) anyhow, he is doing great and his spirits are good (could it be the vicodin?) He is in a walking boot and he is really truly being such a trooper. Poor guy.
we are looking forward to going to Indianapolis this turkey day and spending it with Danny's whole family. Quick but much needed getaway.
Elliot is still not walking but so close. Her personality has just exploded in the last few weeks. She reminds us a lot of Logan. Very funny and outgoing. I keep pointing things out to Danny that she does and saying "isn't she a genious?" and he keeps giving me the look of like "of course - what baby could possibly do that?" But seriously...i think she is a genious. She totally knows how to throw and bounce a ball, and it is isn't like she does that with everything...just a ball. Genious. She is ridiculously tall that just today I had to put her crib on the lowest level. Oh and the biggest news...she just got her big girl car seat!!! It is the cutest thing and yes, i cried. Danny just looked at me and said, "you're a mom and here come the mom moments" I thought to myself, if I am crying because she is facing forward in the car...how am I going to make it through the REAL milestones...poor girl is going to have a mother that is sobbing in the corner of every big event. I promise to dress well and stay current with pop music so I can try to be cool.
Until next month...big love to you all!
