Is it really the end of September?!?

We have had some absolutely amazing Fall weather the past few weeks.  Today we spent most of the day outside...bike ride, football game, washing the van, Crane's apple orchard/picnic and even ended the night with running through the sprinklers!

 Joel thinking he is funny by taking a belly picture.

My Cutie Pie...

I don't think little girls get much cuter than Peyton.  I could have just eaten her up this morning in her stripped jammies.  Love this little girl!

Cinnamon Roll Sundays...

Most Sundays we all enjoy Cinnamon Rolls together as a special treat for breakfast/brunch. The kids love having this "special treat" and I don't think daddy and mommy mind it much either...we are actually kinda sad because they are starting to eat a lot more which leaves less for us!

Fall Fires...

It's been a windy Fall and we've had a lot of large branches blow down from our trees. So we took the opportunity to snuggle up by the fire tonight and roast some marshmallows!  The kids liked to watch from a safer (farther away) distance.  These two together bring out some major giggles!

1st Day of Three-School...

It is official...we now have a school-aged child!  Parker started Spanish Immersion 3-school this Fall at Zeeland Christian School.  

Parker's 1st day was so fun since I got to attend with him.  He really seemed to enjoy it too. He listened well, repeated what the teacher asked, attempted to sing the songs and had a blast playing with all of the toys! 

Daddy even got to sneak away from his class for a bit to wish Parker a great 1st day which was an awesome surprise! Maestra Rodriguez is super sweet and we can just sense the love she has for children.  We feel blessed to have her as Parker's teacher.

I am so proud of Parker and excited to see what he learns this year and how he continues to grow into who God created him to be!
