Happy Fall

I hate that it has already been so long since I posted. There is always some electrical device to blame. Of course I am behind that device, but that is just details. So, again, no pics. But we have a ton!!! They are so great. We love fall around here and I recently took on the oh so daunting task of making crab apple jelly. I am way over my head here, but we picked over 19 cups of apples. De-stemmed them, de-blossomed them, and quartered them. Cooked and canned. I have pics of it all. It was an adventure but the flavor was surprisingly amazing.

Noah is loving school. He has fun little projects. Next week they get to wear pj's to school to finish up there hibernation lessons. We also went to Craven Farm for a story and a pumpkin and checking out all the animals. It has been great. He is such a little person now. We have full conversations all day long. He thinks of better ideas for dinner then I can, and he loves to help me cook. I love his detail oriented mind although it kicks me in the rear sometimes too. We have started some love and logic on him and he has responded well. He is strong willed, much like me, and so this is a great way for him to learn.

Zach is well...Zach. He is curious and wants to be big so bad. He can now climb or crawl onto/into anything. Up my pantry, up and down my stairs (no baby gates for him), onto Noahs bed. The only place left for Noah to get away is the couch. Still a touch to high. But not for long. He talks in what sounds like Chinese and Spanish combined. And boy does he have things to say. His tantrums have gotten much less, but he has become very clingy to me. I think because his poor teeth are still breaking through. But that has been an adjustment for me...and my back. So far, when Noah goes to school, I keep thinking he will be calm and self entertained like always. Oh no. He is disoriented. Not sure of what is going on, or where Noah went. The moment Noah is home he is such a happy camper. Its pretty sweet.

As far as for us. We keep busy, but it seems like most of it is ending. Noah has his last soccer game sat, some church studies are ending, and life will go back to the usual. I am just finishing the Twilight series, which shamefully has taken up most of my free time. Tony went on a trip to Texas for a football game and felt like a free man for a bit. :) The baby is doing great. We are almost 4 months...Sunday. And a few more weeks till we find out what this baby is. We have never had to wait so long. It is tough. We also are at a total loss for baby names, so if you have any fabulous ones, and you would like to share, we are all ears!

Happy Fall!
