It seems that every fall we get really busy, I am not sure why, other than to say winter is coming and we better fit everything in before it gets here. Doug has been continuing with tryouts/playing for the Colorado Lightning, a professional indoor soccer team. As of now it appears that he has made the team as a reserve/non contract player...what that means we don't quite know yet. The outdoor soccer season is winding down as is fall softball, which we both play and are currently the undefeated league champions. We also have season tickets to CSU football, have had our 4th wedding anniversary, company picnics, the annual "tour de harmony" bar crawl and the end of season family and friends BBQ's. As promised by Doug, we have begun some of our household projects that are reserved for fall/winter season. This year that includes replacing several doors, painting ceilings and Rachel's new bedroom. I will post pictures when they are back to organized, but we have finished the painting and doors for the two kids bedrooms. We have to give a big thanks to Grandma Cindy for all the babysitting she has done for us, for all the non kid friendly activities and the house projects. I do a play date at various parks with some friends weekly, and am starting to wonder what we will do when it is too cold outside, as much work as it is to get everything ready to go, I look forward to the adult time. And that is our fall in a nutshell.
Rachel at her first college football game...Go Rams, but green isn't her color
Caleb watching the action in the front row
Playtime at the park
more park fun
Time to work...Caleb is now obsessed with mowing the lawn, he follows in Doug's every footsteps and mimics his every move...and is even going along on the paying jobs with his mower
more mowing
Rachel and her friend Hannah, who is a month younger than her
Caleb and his friend Rebekah, who is a month older than him
Playing with a tennis ball, color coordinating her toys and her outfit
Everyone playing with the music table
Out on a walk with me, Rachel is just starting her smelling her upper lip face at this point
Something must be really interesting on the TV
Milk for both the babies after naptime...must be one of those PJ days for Caleb
Finally a photo of our weekly playdates at the park before they are over. From left to right, Caleb, Rebekah, Ben, Arianna on the teeter totter and Isaac in the sand
Caleb being shipped to Grandma, we did this for more than half an hour straight...if your volume is turned up you can hear him laughing, we aren't torturing him!
