Fall Fun

It is hard to believe October is here - and well almost over. We have had lots of fun with Grace lately. She is pretty sassy these days. She loves to say things like - No Mama I in charge! - to us. She loves to express her independence and try things herself. Her new thing she is trying to perfect is putting on her own socks. It is a pretty frustrating task for her now, but I think she will get it soon enough.

A few weeks ago we headed to a local church that was selling pumpkins. GG was here so we had fun with her too. Grace loved handing out the little pumpkins to each of us.

Here she is getting ready to go.

And here is one for you....and you...

Last week Grace had her first gymnastics class. I signed us up for a parent/tot class at a local rec center. While Grace loved her leotard and prancing around the house, she was not a fan of the class. She didn't want to try much of anything the teacher was having us do. She was more into watching the other kids. She did a few things and hopefully as the weeks go on she will get more into it.

Sunday we headed to the park after to enjoy a nice fall day - the last before some snow arrives on Wednesday. Grace of course did lots of swinging - her favorite thing.

Here is Brian wearing his Payton jersey. It is kind of funny he wore #34 since on Wednesday he will turn 35.

In other news, we have been looking for a new home. We have decided with the economy the way it is the best thing for our family is to rent out our condo (because if we sold it we would lose a lot of money) and buy another home. I think we are all excited at the prospect of more space and a yard - and scared about two mortgages! We have found a few homes we like and we hope to find the one we love soon. There are some good deals to be had out there and we are hopeful we will find the right house for us soon.

Coming up this week is Brian's 35th birthday, a big snowstorm on Wednesday the weather people tell us and of course Halloween. Grace is going to be a cupcake this year. I know she will look super cute - I just hope she will wear the costume!

Happy Fall!
