Falling Behind

Oh, dear. It's been awhile! 

Christmas is creeping up so fast, these pictures seem like ancient history!

I've fallen behind on our fall updates.

That said….

Fordy before his awesome new hair cut at our "big park" just minutes away.

We got to see a few of Katy's soccer games this fall. They loved watching their cousin rock the field and learn how to dribble. 

I think they're both ready to start next year.

Don't you think?

Falling down laughing...

Or perhaps cheerleading…?

We'll have to work on using our hands and our funny faces...

You can see that this is from awhile ago…

soaked from the sprinklers and eating a show cone. 

There is a cute little train that is near our local zoo. 

(Thomas the Train is on the list for Christmas!)

And Abby's new favorite job :

caring for cousin Sloan.

Or, as Abby calls her, Sessy or Bessy. 

Hysterical.

She's got us all doing it.

She's such a daredevil, it takes both of them to keep her from falling down the stairs!

A fun moment with my girl after a run...

Some deep reading while at Trader Joes…

(The Case for Christ that he found in the car and insisted on bringing in)...

And while Trader Joes does not have us searching for Rosie the Monkey (like on Del Mar in Pasadena) or Cap'n Jack (like in Hastings Ranch in Pasadena), and there are no popsicles, at least there are animals they get to impersonate.

And…of course, stickers.

So, there's our recent info download. 

Merry, merry to you all!
