October Already??

Where have the last few weeks gone? Dave and I were realizing last night that Claire has been home almost eight weeks already. Things are getting better by the week too. She is just sweet as can be. She has even slept through the night for us a few times now. We have all four been sick with a cold Jack brought home from pre-school so sleep has been a good thing as we all try to feel better.

We have been keeping busy with several fall parties the last couple of weekends as well as a couple of trips with the kids to the orchard/pumpkin patch. It has been a beautiful autumn here so far and we are supposed to have a really warm and sunny weekend this weekend too. My college roommates are flying into Indy this week from LA and DC to hang out for the weekend and visit their families. We are having everyone around on Saturday evening for dinner. They will all get to meet Claire for the first time, which will be fun.

Claire and Jack are getting along a bit better too. Jack is still struggling with sharing with Claire, but she is starting to hold her own now and she protests, loudly, when he takes things from her finally. She is also cruising along the furniture faster all the time and becoming more curious around the house. The baby gates are back up now.

Jack is loving pre-school. Today they had a pajama and pizza party since they were learning the letter 'P'. He was very excited to wear his pj's to school. He has had another huge growth spurt and it getting really tall.

Alright, the kids are now quiet in their beds for their naps so I'm going to try to have a quick nap myself to try to get over this cold faster.


Claire's newest obsession!

Pumpkins!

Finding the perfect one was hard for Jack :)
