October 2013 :-)

It's mid-November now and I'm finally getting to posting on this blog for October :-) It wasn't on the endless list of things I needed to accomplish over the last few weeks, thus the delay. I'm so thankful I had the opportunity last night to go through the pictures from October because as I did, I was reminded of how fast the time goes by, how little time we have here, and just how easy it is to forget precious things when we fail to document them.  It was a sweet time I had sitting there looking through over 500 pictures and tons of videos almost all them having been lost in the cloud in my brain.  What a blessing it is to live in the digital age where I can pull up a month and look over it again and again until I remember the details of the memories which are lost in the day to day life we live.  :-) Without further delay, here are my favorite pictures from life captured in October 2013. May your heart be blessed as mine was looking over them.

These sweet friends of our got engaged in October :-)

William is sharing his new police car with his new Elmo doll at his birthday dinner. 

For William's birthday, my mom and brother got me :-) sand for a sand pool! We had enough extra to give to a friend. 

William really likes the sand!

The kids are playing together more now and here is William teaching Kaitlynn how to talk on the phone correctly. 

Racing fun.

We went to the Pumpkin Patch and had so much fun!

This year the pumpkins that William could carry were much bigger.

Hey I got it Mom!

We got to go to Butt's Mill Farm with Pop and Gramm thanks to  Uncle J and Aunt Ali giving us passes! 

Those eyes get her Daddy every time!

William and I went to the park on William's Birthday and played hard! Thanks Gramm for watching baby sister so we could have birthday fun!

At William's birthday dinner with Jeremy's family

We got to see Gran Ann to celebrate William turning 2!

And William loved seeing Pop and Gramm's party hats!

He got his very own book bag!

A picture with Aunt Ali!!

Kaitlynn and cousin Tegan. Hoping these sweet girls will have so much fun together over the years. 

Cousin Tegan came for a birthday celebration!

Kaitlynn started pushing things across the floor in Oct. 

I realized I seldom had the opportunity to push Kaitlynn in the swings at the park this summer....

She really likes them!

Such a big boy, he can do all the things at our favorite park all by himself now. 

Two peas in a pod or swing...same thing right?

maybe I should listen when Mommy tells me not to taste the leaves!

Is this how you wear the book bag? 

I like things that go vroom. 

A remote control car, yay!

More birthday fun with Papa and Yaya! Yaya had so much fun helping Kaitlynn chase William around and around! The kids LOVED it! 

Top of the charts for William's birthday celebration...SITTING ON YAYA's LAWNMOWER! He's still talking about it a month later lol

Kaitlynn's 8 month picture with an Old Friend

Can I wear these for halloween?  

And can I be a ram and my friend be Elmo?

Teaching his sister to climb onto luggage bags and storage boxes. 

Riding the motorcycle "bike".

William picked the paper and ribbon for Daddy's birthday card.

So many cars! So much fun!

Gramm playing with Kaitlynn at the Farm

Come on, Pop!

There he goes!

Horses :-)

Can I pet this one?

A magic carpet ride with Aunt Cindy makes one little girl laugh!

Climbing the mountain and jumping on it together. 

Makes my heart smile!

This little girl has 6 teeth now and loves to show them when she smiles :-)

Big boy William's camera smile :-)

My mom got internet on the last day of October and I'm so excited for her! She has an email address and everything so we can keep in touch while we are overseas.  So thankful for technology that will keep us connected while we are away.

Bye Bye for now or as William says "bye bye choo choo" lol
