Fall

Once again, sorry for the delay for those of you that check in on here regularly....  I don't plan to ever give up on this blog, so don't give up on checking it =) 

During October break, we got to speak a week in Florida visiting Gi Gi and Papa....

We got to do lots of the usual fun things there - pen making, shopping, and beach time... 
Noel face-planted into Gi Gi's rocking chair and sported a black eye the rest of the trip...



It was nice to get away and we always enjoy our trips there! 

Thank goodness fall means cooler weather here....  I'm attempting to get out on the mountain bike more...
 And play at the park more....

Noel is still enjoying preschool and all her friends....

 We had lots of fun this past Halloween as it was our first one living in this neighborhood.  The kids have lots of friends that they love being with on our street so we had a big potluck before trick or treating.  Such a great time!  Noel stuck with her favorite character, Cinderella....


And Aaron was a ninja...

Noel also became a big 3 year old....


And on the same weekend she turned 3, she ditched her tricycle and mastered riding a two wheel bike with training wheels.

I mentioned before all the friends the kids have on our street.....  We are blessed to live in such a fun neighborhood.  Everyday, Aaron rushes to finish his homework so he can get outside for an hour or two with all his friends....

Aaron also had a great fall season of soccer.  He scored over 40 goals this season in 8 games!  It was fun to watch him really understand the game and be so competitive.  Here is some footage of him scoring one of his goals...


We also got to welcome back Uncle Kyle, Auntie Sarah, and 6 month old Obadiah from the mission field of Uganda for a furlough...

It was wonderful to meet Obadiah for the first time.  He is a big boy, and full of smiles and cuteness!








It has been so fun having them around for a few months!!!

We also gained a new cousin in Wisconsin as Uncle Brad and Auntie Tanya had baby Reese...  I found cheap tickets and thanks to Papa Bob and Grammy's donation, Aaron and I were able to fly out for a weekend to help with the new baby and visit...

Baby Reese and I....  She was a cute little peanut!

Aaron had a blast playing with Owen and Brynn.... They had a great time together and got along beautifully.




Thanks for sticking with us!!! =)
