random Friday

Darrell has almost finished the playground. Still needs the shade canopy on top, a few more boards, and the telescope mounted, but it's basically finished. Jack's been climbing on it everyday!

Megan's still growing and has got the belly thing down. Only problem now is she rolls over in her sleep and wakes herself up.

We're getting ready for Halloween too. Jack been practicing hopping like a frog and saying "trick or treat!" We'll see what happens on Sunday!

Do you think we're related?

Playgrounds and pumpkins

So it's time to play catch up! I've been slacking on the posts so here's a quick couple.

Darrell has been building a swing set in the backyard for the kids. It's moving right along. Jack had a blast "helping" daddy.

We visited Rombach Farms with our friend Stephanie, her daughter, and her sister. Jack got to pick out a pumpkin, go for a train ride, and play on the tractors. He had so much fun!

We also hit a couple milestones with Megan this week. I started her on cereal, which she seemed to love. And Megan rolled over for the first time!!! She is growing so quick.

Enjoy...

Megan update

I took Megan to the Dr. today for her 4 month check up and she's right on track! She's weighing in at 14 lbs. 1.5 oz.. And is now 24.25 inches tall! She's doubled her birth weight and grown 4 inches. Unfortunately for Megan she put the weight on in her hips(just like her mom!)! She did have 2 shots today but was a trooper and only cried for a minute.

We also went to have our family pictures taken today. It was the most stressed out I've been in a long time. We tried a different studio this time and was not impressed. I set an appt. time of 10:30, arrived at 10:15, and still had to wait almost 40 minutes before we even got into the room. By that time Jack had lost it and was all over the place and our patience was about gone. The facility even tried to "help" by bringing in another staff member to hurry us along, which didn't help. In the end we did get some good pictures, but we won't go back to that facility.

Apple picking 2010

Since the weather couldn't get any better this past weekend we took the kids over to Eckerts for apples and pumpkins. Jack has been asking to pick apples for the last 2 weeks!! And got even more excited when he got to pick out his own pumpkin! Jack actually picked his own apples this time and Megan got to hang out in the carrier all day! Not a bad deal! There is nothing better than a fresh picked apple, except maybe the apple pie I made last night!! Here are some pics...

10 years

Last Thursday Darrell and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. It's hard to believe it's been that long and even harder to believe we've been together for 16 years! After all we've been through over that last 10 years we decided to treat ourselves to a mini vacation to Hermann, MO for a few days. We booked a room at Montegue's BnB and spent a couple days enjoying wine and being kid-free. The weather was awesome and we had a blast!
