October Fun!

So I have not been as on top of posting, so I may as well just group all these together into one post for the month of October.  It was an interesting weather month with very warm days and as seen here, even SNOW!  Yes, the weekend before Halloween it snowed enough to stick to the green grass.  Then it warmed up a bit for trick-or-treating thank goodness.  The Baumgartners followed tradition and came to our neighborhood for the parade and trick-or-treating.  Geordie, Mary, and Andie came and held down the fort and handed out candy.  The kids were adorable, very well-behaved, and in bed before 8pm since it was a school night.  Impressive.  Earlier in the month Mary and I took the 3 cousins for portraits in their costumes.  Emmie wore Maddie's pink leopard costume and we lucked out and borrowed a matching costume for Maddie in her size.  Had to have them match while I can still get away with it!  And baby Andie had the cutest little cat costume as well.  We got some great shots, all three were very cooperative.

Some casual shots out of costume too!

Emersyn has discovered the piano and loves to sit up on the bench like a big girl.  She has become quite the ham, breaking out in a cheesy grin when the camera comes out.

 Serious face...

Sporting her Nebraska sweatsuit for game day. Which I might add is size 6-12 months and was a Christmas gift last year and still fits! 

We spent a beautiful Fall afternoon at a local pumpkin patch for some fun and pumpkin picking.  Apparently, Maddie didn't stop moving long enough for me to get a picture of her!

Here are pictures of the snow and a video of Emersyn in her gear.  She wore the winter coat, snow pants, and boots that were Maddie's at her age for the first time and they are so big on her, she had trouble moving. 

 I love the orange leaves against the white snow. 

We carved our pumpkin the next day and it still had snow on it. Unfortunately, Maddie was sick so Chris had to take over carving duties.

Halloween Night!

Weston and "Onnie" (as We-Jo calls her) have become quite the little buddies.  Michelle and I are always amazed at how much they interact for their ages.  Chris caught them walking hand in hand before the parade.  Would an arranged marriage be possible for these two? :)
