Fall is coming...fun around the house!

Fall is mostly here! I love it...everything from pumpkins, colored leaves, sweatshirts, yummy soup! Well the girls are growing up so fast. Ella will turn 3 in a little over a month!!!!!! I can't believe it, and Luci is really starting to show her personality...unfortunately right now it is clouded because she is breaking at least 4 teeth right now.

We made pumpkin bread and muffins today: here are some pictures of that and just fun around the house! Enjoy!

Luci loves to spatter milk from her sippy cup on her face...strange



Luci feeding her baby



She is going to be such a good mom...apparently of three!




Cutie!




Here is Ella trying out the pumpkin batter.

Sisters...again:)

Ella's first experience @ a fire station!

Ella's new friend Samuel turned two this weekend and had is party @ a fire house!! It was a total hit for all the kids, Ella's favorite was spraying the hose--Here are some pictures, sorry about the quality they were taken from my cellphone. She also learned to stop, drop and roll:) Mark had to study/write papers this week, so he stayed home with a sleeping Luci....
Have a great week!

Here she is spraying the hose!




In the fire truck on a quick tour of the block...didn't really know what to think....

Part of the group!



Her hat...why won't you look me in the face:(

The FUN continues!!!

We went to Pittsburgh this past weekend to visit Aaron and Danielle (and Peanut)! It was a great time...despite the rain most of Saturday. Ella and Luci loved seeing/playing with them--I love to see the smiles on their faces!!!! Danielle and Aaron are excellent photographers...they took some AWESOME pictures of the girls, so with their permission I wanted to share some with you! Thanks Auntie and Aaron for a great time:) You guys are gonna make WONDERFUL parents!

Mark and His Brother



Danielle and Me:)



Luci loved when you blow on her tummy, she even held up her own shirt:)



CUTIE!


Another CUTIE!

See I told you they were great, I could load about 50 more, but I will stick with this for now.
Thanks for all the well wishes on Mark getting commissioned into the Navy. We are excited and slightly overwhelmed about all the different possibilities, but of course, know that God is in control!

We also had our first well baby check ups for the kids today, our pediatrician seemed to be great-which was such a relief (since we totally miss Dr. Jones in Glasgow). Luci did have to get four shots today:( That was the not so fun part, but at least I didn't have to make a separate appointment @ the health department.

Well I must get to bed if I am going to get up and run tomorrow!!!

So Much FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Jill and Ryan came to visit us this past weekend, we were so excited to have them. Of course, the girls had such a blast. Friday night we watched the movie 21 together...not bad, but we all agree the Ocean movies were better. We went to the National Aquarium downtown, while Tropical Storm Hanna was hitting us:) You can see from the pictures we got pretty wet from the trip down there, but had a really good time seeing all the fish, turtles, sharks, stingrays, etc....We went to Red Robin for dinner and then a rousing visit to Target to look for a night light for the girls room...then today we went on a LONG walk to John Hopkins campus to eat @ Cold Stone Creamery and play @ one of the parks there:) They had to leave and go back to Ohio :( But @ least both of the girls are sleeping right now and recovering from all the fun! Here are some pictures to see all the fun!
