Fall

Fall started off with a BANG in our house! Presley got pneumonia, three days later David had croupe and one week later, Anna had croupe! Presley and David were both out of commission for 12 days straight. They had constant low fevers, both sleeping 12-14 hours a night with a 2 hour nap during the day. It was no joke! I'm so glad the we are all on the mend finally! 

While they were sick, we didn't really leave the house. Presley missed a week of school and we kept our germs at home. We watched a lot of movies (Anna included)
Tried to find new things to do... like color the inside of an empty diaper box!
Lots of snuggling!
And lots of coloring!
When everyone was finally better, Presley went back to dance class. This year she is doing tap and ballet. She loves it and is a natural!
Anna is doing great! She was pretty pitiful with her nasty cough, but she finally seems better. She weighs 12lbs, 12oz and is 24" long.
We went to a pumpkin patch with some friends last weekend. The kids had a blast! David was obsessed with the calves and this huge camel!
Presley has always said she wants to ride a pony, but she actually did it this time after her friend, Sammy, got on the pony first. David insisted on following Presley and Sammy in there. I don't even think he knew what he was about to do, but he did really well! He just grinned the whole time.
Tractor/hay ride
I thought this was hilarious... I walked upstairs one day to see David putting his little tank next to Cameron's big one.
Such sweet siblings...sometimes
Presley picked out this dress for picture day at her school. 
Sweet Anna is all about her toys these days!
This weekend we went to the Bear Creek Nature Center. They had lots of animals and some great trails. We did a mile loop hike and the kids did great. Cameron had to carry David up some of the stairs, but they loved it. Presley kept saying, "I hope we see a bear or a fox." I'm glad we didn't see either...
And I'll end with my roly poly who loves to hold her feet right now!

You are amazing to keep this blog.. What a treasure for them to have when they are grown. Loved the pumpkin patch pictures. I'm so glad they are feeling better. I know that was a long two weeks.
My favorite part of this blog is David putting his tank with Cameron's. He loves his daddy!
