Abby has come by almost every day this week to bring Elle toys. Ellie got 6 purses, jewelry, makeup and so many other things. She loves Abby!

Our fall festival was so much fun!! It was the first time Mark was able to be with us.

I had to help Elle up the slide and then she wanted me to ride it with her.

I love the sky in this picture. Mark took a great one.
Hans in the corn at the farm. We went earlier this year. It was perfect!!

Mark got us the largest pumpkin out there, and hans and elle picked out smaller ones.

I got to see my new niece. I mean nephew. As everyone has heard Kirsten had boy Lars. He is adorable. So we did a clothes swap. Briella got all the clothes Kirsten couldn't return and Lars got all Hans clothes. It is nice for Briella that she will have tons of new clothes. Hans took this picture of me with Lars.

Hans looks like he is ready to start modeling.

Ellie tried to hang in with the boys. She was running bases, tackling, and doing everything a little tom boy would do.

At Levi's football game Hans spent his time running the bases. I actually caught him in mid air.

My two girls! They love each other. I am so thankful for them.

2 outfits from auntie Kirsten

A friend of mine brought me so many apples this is what we didn't know what to do with. We made apple sauce, apple butter, apple pies, baby apple food, apple juice, and some other apple desserts.

Briella wearing one of the many outfits Kirsten gave her.

Bells has becom particular about the way she dresses and all the girls in the neighborhood love it. Today she walked out of the house and they said she is the best dressed and so beautiful.

Briella has been such a joy. I am so thankful for her. She is just the easiest baby anyone has ever seen. That is what I am always told and I do appreciate it.

Hans had his first day of school. I was hooked up to an IV so I couldn't walk him out to the bus. I was so excited to be able to do this since I miss it when I am teaching.
