Fall Fun

Is it seriously less than 1 month until Thanksgiving and 2 months until Christmas?! Where has this year gone?! Nevertheless, we are moving right along and currently racking up lots of autumn memories! The weather in Indiana has been "fall-like" since September and has just gotten down to the 50's as high's this week. Wish it could just stay this way all winter!!

Whitney seems to be thoroughly enjoying her "Sycamore's" preschool class with "Mrs. Tammy." She is making friends in her class, talking up a storm, and wilder than ever! We're really trying to work on listening and sharing right now--open to any suggestions on how to communicate with a headstrong 3-year-old! ;)

Ben is staying busy at work, which helps keep his mind off the fact that the Bulldogs have not quite lived up to their pre-season hype and the Colts have had a most disappointing season without Peyton Manning--currently "0-7." I wondered how we were going to make it through the season with heartbroken Ben, but he has taken it fairly well in stride. I will have to say that he is a faithful fan, no matter the circumstances!

I have been staying busy at work at the hospital over the last few weeks and I started teaching an evening nutrition course two nights a week at a local community college again this month. So far, so good! Whitney and I continue to enjoy our Wednesday morning MOPS (mothers of preschoolers) group, too.

Kicking off October with a hayride at Hackman Farms!


Whitney had fun helping us pick out a pumpkin.


The princess and the pup. I took this picture on Skylar's (our dog) 13th birthday! She is still such a faithful friend after all these years. Loves to be close to Whitney (no matter what she's doing!).


There's nothing more fun right now than playing with leaves and sticks in the front yard!


We enjoyed a beautiful morning at a local apple orchard. Whitney was very proud of her prized apple!

Monkey-girl hanging on the bar! We were in Zionsville celebrating Tyler's 3rd birthday! Two weeks before, cousin Lucy and Grandma had birthday's, so lots of celebrating in October! :)


Some see-saw action at the park! I think I am still sore from that thing!


Like father, like daughter. Could a love of popcorn be inherited? If so, Whitney certainly has the gene and a love for this daily nighttime ritual with her daddy! She insists on holding the bowl, too!
