Over the past few weeks a new illness has popped up nearly every day.  On a beautiful November day we were nearly completely healthy. Against our better judgement we decided to get out and about.  While we may pay for it in the days to come it was well worth it.  Here are a few of our adventures.

Now that they see the camera they insist on posing for a picture

Abby enjoyed the music that the stores had playing.  Dad convinces her that Ben would make a suitable dancing partner as he was growing tired.

 Nature walk!

 Ben LOVES running on the trails but he becomes impatient when having to wait for Abby to catch up.

 Happy to be "standing" after a long day being carried.

First Fire of the Year

Fall Fun

Terrific Tuesday

Happy kids

After Abby and Ben got their flu shots Jessiqa took the kids to Krispy Kreme and the park. No tears were shed for the shots. Big kids.

Friday Night Fun

The past few weeks

Smile!

Our little man is a smiley boy.

At 4 am Jessiqa heard our bathroom door open, which happens frequently enough for us to know that it was a child, and found this.  Benjamin had opened the bathroom door to either pee or come to see us in our bed and fell asleep before he made it to his destination.

A little bit of this...

Abby and Ben role playing as Kipper and Tiger. They are developing quite the imagination and their new favorite game is pretending to be other people/characters.
