Lil Bit O' Fall

We have been crashing with the in-laws for the past two weeks until our new home is ready...It has been lots of fun, nice and cozy, and almost like vacation for me. I haven't had to cook, clean, do hardly any laundry...I have become extremely spoiled to the point that I am a bit nervous to move into a big home and have to care for it without Grammy and Papa Brian to help. Thank you both for your graciousness, patience and helping hands during this time of transition. We would have been in quite a pickle without you!!!

Kate and Joseph are, of course, having a ball with all the attention and toys surrounding them! Kate is now talks a mile a minute, her imagination knows no bounds, has surprisingly shared several times with her little brother without cohersion, is hilariously animated during conversations, sings and dances without hesitation. She remains a joy and a delight! Joesph is almost seven months, pushing up onto his hands and knees, sitting unassisted for a short while without toppling, loves, loves, loves to be tickled. When tired he will nestle his face into my neck, always looking up one last time to give me a smile before drifting off to sleep. He is too sweet to describe, chubby, healthy, loves his peas and green beans and watches his big sister like she is his hero.

Here are a few moments captured this afternoon by Papa Brian after Kate helped rake the leaves...
