Fall Fun

This past weekend we enjoyed some fun times together. On Friday Alissa and I went to my friend Julie's house. There Alissa met Hailey (Julie's daughter) and Kate. Kris, Kate's mom is a friend of Julie's. Kris and her family were in China this past spring to adopt Kate. It was fun for Alissa to meet new friends, and for Mommy to have adult conversation. Thanks Julie for the play date and lunch! Oh by the way notice the matching shirts? Julie's sister Jill sent them to all of us. Thanks again Jill!

This weekend we went to the cabin for one last archery hunt. No luck! Benjamin enjoyed hunting with Daddy and Grandpa. We came home late this afternoon so Alissa could get to bed early tonight. We were able to have fun playing outside in the leaves before heading in for the evening. I love fall! The leaves are so beautiful and a great reminder of our Amazing Creator! Hope everyone else had a great weekend too!

Caught you!

Last night while Benjamin was playing with a friend, Alissa and I baked some pumpkin cookies together. She said it best yummy in tummy! So much fun!

Sleepless in Lititz...

I found this title to be appropriate of my life lately. Although, I must give Alissa credit for last night. I was able to sleep in my own bed until 4:30am. ! So I haven't posted in a while I know. Honestly I haven't had the time or energy to. Nap times lately have been Mommy's time to catch a few zzzz's or get caught up on things around the house. Today I'm feeling full of energy. A decent night's rest and a brisk walk this morning seemed to do the trick. So enough about the sleep deprivation here. Since the last post we have experienced more firsts. Benjamin finished up his first fall baseball season. He did great! Baseball is for sure his passion! On a side note yeah Phillies! Benjamin's favorite team won the World Series. More firsts, we visited Benjamin's school for his Race for Education. His friends enjoyed meeting Alissa. We also visited the grandparents' houses for the first time. Alissa seemed to make her self at home. We made a bold move by making a trip to the cabin for a weekend too. She seemed to really like it there too. We have also had first time visits from some friends and my grandparents. B & A's great-grandparents. That's pretty cool! The last first is Alissa's cold. She got one of those this weekend. Just a snotty nose, but still a first. We're waiting on the next first...sleeping through the night!!!
