October Fun: Part Three

Family Night at Preschool was on Oct. 20 in the evening. We went there to meet with Lily's teacher and see some of the work Lily has done. It's amazing how far she has come in just a couple of months. She has learned the months of the year, her phone number, how to write her name...and much more. Her teacher spoke very highly of her. She said she participates all the time and is very kind to all the other kids. Here are a few photos from Family Night. She drew a picture of us - with the green border. Anson, Me, Lily and then Dillon and Lacy are below. It's hard to see from this photo, but Lacy looks like a puppy dog!

Boo at the Akron Zoo! On Oct. 22, we went to the zoo with the Waybrights!

Lily is a My Little Pony - Rainbow Dash and Dillon is Thomas.

Lacy was a baby - and a darn cute one! She has Halloween jammies on - Lily and Dillon also wore those jammies for their first Halloween.

Trick or Treating at the zoo!

Dillon didn't wear his costume. He took it off right after I snapped those first few photos.

Zack was Buzz Lightyear.

Our 3 trick or treaters will become 5 next year when Lacy and Alyssa join the group!

Stopping to eat a Ho-Ho.

It was a beautiful day!

Riding the Choo-choo with the kids. I had to go with Dillon since he's only 2.

Those are some big lions!

After Boo, we all went out to dinner at Mariachi Loco's. Sitting up in a restaurant high chair all by herself for the first time!

Zack and Lily had a great time together at dinner! They are quite a pair :)

Halloween at Dance Class! There were 3 Dorothy's! What are the chances?

Halloween at preschool! My mom got to go to Lily's Halloween parade at her school! She snapped these photos for us since we couldn't go.

The parade - it was raining that day so they had to do it inside.

Lily's preschool class went to Maize Valley on Oct. 25 for a field trip. Anson and I couldn't go to this either, so luckily my mom was feeling well enough to go and enjoy it with Lily. She took all these photos for us. Lily's preschool class on the hayride

Uncle Jamie and his girlfriend, Ann!

Other news...my mom has had a lot of pain in her knee lately, and she went to the doctor today. She found out she has a blood clot and has to be put on bed rest at least through the weekend. Please pray for her. She's in a lot of pain.

October Fun: Part Two

Lacy Lyn turned 9 months old on Oct. 24. She's such a happy 9 month old! I took her to her well-baby check-up and she is growing and developing perfectly. She wasn't well, though, and was given Amoxicillin for her first ear infection :( She's much better now!

Eating eggs for the first time!

Sitting up like a big girl in the grocery cart for the first time. Of course, it was at our favorite store, Target.
We went to a place called Brown Bag Burgers. The kids were being so cute, so I snapped a photo of them.

Lacy was sleeping through lunch

Last Saturday night, we went to Jamie's girlfriend's brother's farm in Hartville. They were showing the kids the horses, pigs, bunnies and chickens.

Baby girl with her sippy cup for the first time! She had some watered down juice!

We had to create a "baby jail" for Lacy. She's attracted to wires and always tries to bites them.

Watching "barnkey"

Lily loves to play on Anson's iPad. She plays "birdies" (Angry Birds), "spelling words" (Words with Friends," and "roll-up game" (Katamari). She's already so smart.

"Mommy, picture!" Goofball!

Twins - matching jammies!

Lacy is an inchworm. She doesn't crawl, but she certainly gets around by pulling herself across the floor.

Dillon in time-out...fake crying. Unfortunately, he spends a lot of time in this corner.
