Fall is in the air

I love the fall season. I can't imagine living somewhere that did not have all 4 seasons. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, the sound of football games on Friday night....awwwww does it get any better??

The kids are doing great. Garrett is walking like a champ. Isabel is on her way to crawling. I have a feeling she will be crawling in the next couple of weeks. She has started something new...she says da da. It was great. Joel had been home with the kids all day and I came home and sat in the floor with Isabel and started saying da da to her...she then said it right back to me!!! I am sure Joel's heart was melting!!! It is great to hear her little dainty voice say da da and then hear Garrett's deep (animal) voice yell DAAAD. Too cute.

The kids are enjoying their little drummer set that MeeMaw (Joel's mom) bought for them, I am having a cup of coffee, Joel is getting ready and then we are off to the mall. We enjoy our Saturday's as a family. Sometimes we don't do anything but stay home, but we do it together!!!

That is all that is going on with us, how about you?

With all our love,
Joel, Misty, Garrett & Isabel

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch over the weekend. Garrett was memorized by all the "balls". It was a warm day...I had wished for a cooler fall day. The weather this coming weekend is going to be more like what I was hoping for. Maybe we can find something else fun to do!!!

Isabel is growing like a weed. She is trying so hard to crawl. She is going backwards, but can't quite get the forward motion. She can get up on also fours by herself and rock, but that is as far as she can go right now.

My mom has gotten a new video camera and is letting us play around with it. I have found it to be really handy. I wish we would have had a video camera from the very beginning. I feel like we have missed a lot of great video opportunities with both of the kids. I hope you enjoy the videos!!

Long Time

Long time, no blog!!! Sorry for being missing for so long. Things are going great for us. The kids are growing like little weeds. Garrett is walking like a professional now!!! Everyone laughs about his walking form...it is more like a march. He goes 90 miles an hour all day long. Very rarely does he crash and burn...he goes and goes and goes!!!

Isabel is trying to crawl. She is moving backwards all over the floor. I know that after going backwards, all of a sudden one day she will crawl forward!!! She is quite the night owl!!! She does not nap during the day...thus you would think that she would crash at night...Oh NO my dear friends!!! There are nights that it is 10:00 and she is still going strong. By that point, Joel and I are ready to go to bed and get some much needed sleep, but she is still wanting to play!!!

We have been having a great time with the fabulous weather. We have been spending as much time as possible outside. Last Saturday, we walked around the outdoor mall and had a great time enjoying the sunshine, the breeze, and the fall weather!!! We are taking the kids to the pumpkin patch this Saturday. Joel and I have never been, so we are very anxious to discover all the fun things there!!!

A SUPER congratulations to my dear friends Brad and Missy!!! They brought baby Zeke home from Vietnam a couple weeks ago!! I was fortunate enough to be able to go to the airport and share in their beautiful homecoming!!! They are a gorgeous family of 3!!!

Love to all,

Misty
