Lots to catch up on....

As you can tell from my lack of posts, the past few days have been super busy! My father in law left this weekend to go back home after visiting with us for the week. The girls (and us) enjoyed it so much. Claire said the whole day after he left that she was sad he was gone. I'm sure Ava would've said the same if she could talk! We feel blessed that our kids have grandparents who are alive and well - I know that's not the case for everyone. I grew up knowing all of my grandparents and this is something I hope and pray my girls will experience as well.

We also spent a little time with my uncle and his kids, who were in town for a brief visit this weekend. Amidst all of that, we managed to find time to go to the flea market and a hayride/bonfire on Saturday, as well as church, a neighborhood Halloween parade and Harvest Party at my mom's church on Sunday. It makes me tired just to recap all of that! Here are a few pictures from our fun-filled weekend!

The girls with their grandpa...



This is at the hayride/bonfire. I thought the picture below with her friend was so stinkin cute. I tried to get pictures with some of the other kids as well, but getting all of them to sit and take a picture at once was a challenge!


On our way to the neighborhood Halloween parade with our cowgirl and Minnie Mouse. You don't see any more pictures from that event because mommy's camera battery died. :( Luckily, this won't be the last time they wear their costumes!


The girls with their Nana and cousin at Nana's church harvest party...

Claire riding yet another pony! Lucky for her, these have been everywhere we go lately!

Claire playing one of the many games at the party. As you can tell, she cheated a little at throwing the beanbag through the ark!
