Summer family photos...FINALLY!

Fall fun

Hello! It's finally feeling like Fall here in Reno with the cooler weather we have been having lately. The kids don't seem to notice the chilliness and love being outside as much as possible. Seth and I have taken the kids to a couple of local pumpkin patches. This year I dressed the kids up in gnome costumes. I waited until the last minute to buy costumes and that was all I could find that was coordinating between boy/girl. They looked adorable in their costumes and hats but most people thought they were elves or smurfs...pretty close! Here are some recent pictures.

22 months old!

Tomorrow the kiddos will be 22 months old! Still can't believe they are 2 months shy of turning two years old! Wow, time is really flying by! They are at such a fun age right now. Their personalities are so different and it's really neat to see how unique each one of them is. Madeline is still a daddy's girl and is the most level-headed out of the three. She doesn't get upset very often and she still sleeps and eats the best. She shares her toys with her siblings (usually) and she copies me a lot when she sees me cleaning up. It's so adorable to see her using a towel to wipe the floor or table if something spills. She's definitely going to be my little helper. In the past couple of weeks, Seth and I have noticed that she is becoming the shy one in front of strangers. If we take her out in public, she tends to be the one who holds back a little and stays near one of us parents. Caleb, as always, is still our rambunctious one. He's still the daredevil and loves to climb up on things and jump off. His latest obsession is cereal....yes, cereal! He constantly is going into the pantry and pointing to the cereal he wants. He has a little Tupperware cup that he holds with his cereal inside constantly. From the moment he wakes up until we brush his teeth before bed, he wants to eat cereal. We had to move the cereal boxes to the top shelf of the pantry because he was helping himself all throughout the day! I almost have to buy 2-3 boxes of cereal each week to keep up with their growing tummies! He's really into his toy cars right now. He likes to lay on the floor and push them back and forth. I guess boys will be boys! Mischa is still our quirky, silly one! She can be a little mischievous at times but then is also very sweet and likes to be hugged and kissed the most. She is the most attached to me and likes to sit in my lap the most. She still loves to be read to and is also interested in watching shows like Elmo and Baby Einstein. She's the pickiest when it comes to food and just like Caleb, loves her little Tupperware cup with snacks inside. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better bunch! These kids have enriched our lives more than we could have ever imagined and we feel sooo lucky and blessed! Here are some pictures from the week.
