Fall Fun

The Fall is one of our busiest but favorite times of the year. All the football watching parties, park playdates and weekend entertaining with close friends makes for a very exciting time. Not to mention that every weekend had at least 1-2 birthday parties to attend since all of Noah's closest buddies have birthdays around the same time as him. Whew! It's been a busy few weeks. Here are a few glimpses of what we've been up to...


All dressed up for school picture day



What a ham! Oh and by the way the picture on the left happens to be one of the lone pictures of Noah where I think he resembles me as a child....otherwise I was just the "incubator" and he is ALL DAVID. :)



Watching the Auburn-GA game over at Michael's house, which is also a "divided household" like ours. They are Auburn-GA like we are FL-GA. Yes, we are raising very confused children but at least they are all cheering for SEC schools...



Fun times at East Cobb Park with Michael



More fun at the park



Sadly one of our closest friends/neighbors moved away to the other side of Atlanta this fall. This was our first excursion to visit the Kowalyczec's at their new house. Noah sure does miss his friend Logan.

Noah really enjoyed jumping in the piles of leaves this year. He looks soooo old in this picture!






We belong to a monthly supper club with 6 other families. We all have boys the exact same age and they have been growing up together from the very beginning. What a great way to start (hopefully) a lifetime of friendships between 7 families. There have been a few younger siblings (And a few girls thankfully!) added to the mix but here are the original 6 boys (except for Logan who was missing that night due to having H1N1 flu, the poor guy!) Noah, Aiden, Landon, Michael, George and Zachary are all in this picture.

Happy Halloween!

I had all intentions of taking Noah to another fun pumpkin patch this year but seeing as how I felt like a big pumpkin myself (a big pumpkin with major back pain) I never got around to it. Then the weekend of Halloween I came down with a terrible cold virus ( I was of course certain it was the dreaded H1N1/swine flu but luckily it was not) so it was all I could do to get Noah dressed up for school, dressed up for trick-or-treating and give away all the candy. He was "Superman" at his school Halloween party and then he was an adorable monkey for trick-or-treating. Despite the freezing rain on Halloween night, he still had a blast trick or treating with David. Being from Florida I can't remember a single Halloween when it was cold or rainy! Oh well. He didn't seem to notice. He was sooooo excited about all the candy and so polite to everyone at their door. We got lots of compliments which of course made us proud. He carried his bag of candy around all week and never even ate any of it without asking for permission. How's that for a 3 year old????
