Nothing New Around Here

Time seems to fly and nothing seems to get done. The laundry piles never seem to shrink, the dishes are always dirty, and the floor could use a good sweeping but none of that gets done when you are keeping up with two kids and working full time! In the past month life has been busy as usual. We went to the zoo, celebrated birthdays, visited with pirates on the Star of India, went to visit Grandpa and Grandma Vickie and see her broken leg, put up Halloween decorations, bought costumes, went to the spa, did some gambling, and of course worked and played. I guess I was wrong when I said nothing seems to get done. We've been having a lot of fun and that is all that matters when your kids grow so fast! Sadly a lot of our fun wasn't captured this month as we forgot the camera several times. Here are just a few new pictures to keep you updated.

Jacob and Olivia

They're getting big!

It is amazing how fast time seems to go by! Jacob is almost four and has started preschool for the year. It was good that we sent him in the summer because he was so excited to go back. He is in Mrs. Silva's class and it is a class for kids that are four or will soon be four. We are looking forward to all the wonderful projects and presentations that they have planned.

Olivia is now 9 months and growing like a weed. She has decided that she prefers table food and baby food is no longer her favorite. She loves mangos, peaches, avocados, bread, bagels, bananas, and the list just keeps growing. She is using a sippy cup and crawling all over the place. She can also pull up on the furniture but hasn't quite figured out what to do after that.

Olivia and Jacob, best friends (most of the time)!

A sippy cup and Cheerios....I'm all grown up now!
