Here's just a little bit of what we've been doing lately ...
no exciting adventures ... but lots of time at home! Jonathan did take one of his board exams yesterday ... only 4 more days of testing to go - spread between now and March! We are excited for fall ... and ESPECIALLY the holidays!
We celebrated my birthday last Sunday - Jonathan and Benjamin made me breakfast in bed and a yummy cake!
If Benjamin could do ANYTHING in a days time - he would play little people almost all day long! Most mornings he will wake up, turn on his light, and just start playing! These are his best friends ... he often lines them all up - like seen below, probably kind of quirky- but I'm sure there's a reason behind it!
Here is a picture of Benjamin and I when we went on a REALLY fun picnic with the Nixons! The fall weather has been so wonderful this year ... and the leaves are just beginning to fall and change colors!
Jonathan and Benjamin carved our pumpkin this morning ... Benjamin wanted a scarey face ... does this look scarey or WHAT!
We are hoping to make it to trick-or-treat with Benjamin's cousins and younger aunts and uncles this weekend ... all depending on our car situation! Our Avalon at 154,000 miles is having a few transmission problems ... the cost will be roughly somewhere between $2000 and $3500 -- if only MCG wasn't SO far away - we'd probably just finish the year with one car!! We pretty much have to fix it though - because if not, we can only get $2500 for it! YUCK ... fixed - we will be able to re-coop what we had to spend plus hopefully a little when it comes time to sell it!
On a lighter note ... we are thrilled to do some fun FALL activities this week!!

Happy Birthday Rachel!! Looks like the boys in your life took good care of you !!
Happy late b-day! I wish Keira would line her toys up instead of throwing them all over the place.
Happy Birthday Rachel..
Little Benjamin isn't so little any more.. He is getting so big already! What a cutie.. I don't know what it is about boys and lining up their toys.. Daniel and James both have done it.. Daniel still does.. Happy Halloween!
Sorry for the late Happy Birthday! My girls are loving following your blog... they are fasinated with Benjamin!!
Benjamin is so cute! Laurel wakes up and just plays in her crib for a while before she starts "calling" for me to come and get her. I hope she is still doing that when she is Ben's age.
Hope yall have fun trick or treating.
OH, and Happy Birthday Rachel! :)
We are planning on going to Ringgold this weekend too! I sure hope your car makes it so we can see you guys! We talk about Benjamin a lot, but I'm positive Mary doesn't know who he is! Are you guys going to the football game that night?
We just love your sweet little family. Looks like your boys took good care of you on your birthday!
Benjamin is getting to be such a big boy -- I can hardly believe it. (I love how he lines up his toys in a straight line...so funny)
I wish we had your weather here. I think fall is about done for us (the fun/pretty part anyway).
We love you guys!
