October has come and gone...

Do you ever get the strange feeling that you are just watching your life pass you by? That was how October was for me. It went by so fast that I feel like I was not even there for a lot of it. Weird. We were busy as normal, and did many fun things.


Classic pic of first thing in the morning at the cabin. There is now furniture there, and it is so close to being done that we are planning Thanksgiving there! This weekend Sierra abandoned her favorite sleeping spot (with Grandma & Papa) and opted to sleep with Mandaline and her cousin. That is until she woke up in the middle of the night. So Sierra held the flashlight for me to carry her princess cot down the stairs into Grandma & Papa's room where she spent the rest of the night! What would we do without Grandparents!

This is our little bunch of Trick or treaters. My girls love Keri's boys so much that they are more like siblings than cousins. They went trick or treating on Keri & Mike's street, and since it was raining and they live on a big hill the dads loaded the kids onto the Rhino and went house to house on the Rhino!

Backwards order I know, but could they get any cuter! We even grew these killer pumpkins in our garden!

This is from the Playgroup Halloween Party at our house. Thomas is really Cole Lloyd, and Halie loves him. They were inseparable that day. Halie is always proclaiming "I love Coco" Sorry Kelli, I just cant get her to say Cole Cole.

For once we got our whole family in one pic. This is in Mandaline's house. She got baptised this month. Grandma Helen said the opening prayer, Uncle Adam baptised her and Grandma Doris said the closing prayer. At one point Adam described Mandaline as the connecting piece of a very large family, and I really like that description. She definitely is the connecting piece. It was cool to see all those people there - many I did not know - who were all there because they love Mandaline.

Overall it was a busy month, and November is coming roaring in as well. I have one & a half more days as a mother of three, then Carsen and Hayden become my boys for a few days as Keri & Mike go on an awesome cruise! So there is no slowing down :)
