We are daddy-less this weekend :(  Jay is at a work retreat.  I decided to bring in reinforcements, Anne!,  to help get through the Saturday morning circus of sporting events.  We made it and had a nice afternoon picking out our pumpkins, playground, dinner and yogurt shop!

 

 

Paige - Fall Soccer

Paige is doing fall soccer again this year.  She really got into it this year & really likes it.  She does a great job getting in there and getting the ball.

 

Today, they had a Halloween tournament to cap off the season. 

Nice job Paige!!!

 

 

 

Ali -Eleven Months!!

After so many milestones last month, this months update will seem somewhat boring. 

 

Ali is cruising around the house on all fours.  She can pull up to standing and hold on but no unsupported standing or walking yet. 

 

Ali loves waving bye bye to anyone that will look her way.  She can also clap her hands on command. 

 

And oh yeah...no teeth yet!!!

 

Here is what eleven months looks like....

 

 

 

Happy 39th Birthday Daddy!!

We celebrated with a family dinner and daddy's favorite ice cream cake.  Jay gave the kids icing makeup!

Paige's Office -

Veteran blog readers may remember Luke and the elaborate offices he used to create.....well, little sister learned a thing or two from big brother because Paige now has an office of her very own.

 

She sits at her office and works on her "paperwork".  She often times wants me to come over and sign papers, I have to sign a lot of papers for various things.  Lots of paperwork in Paige's office. 

 

 

Paige was lucky enough to get to hang out with her cousins this past weekend.  Chase and Madison came to watch her soccer game.  Madison came back to our house for the day and then she sweet talked her way over to their house for a sleepover. 

 

She loves to spend time with her cousins!!!

Luke-n-Ali

Luke and Ali have a great little relationship.  Luke LOVES to play with her and she thinks he is the funniest thing going.  They both get up around the same time in the morning (early!) so Luke comes in every morning and asks and asks and asks until he can go in and play with her.  He takes her out of her crib and into his room and they play until everyone else starts to get up.

 

He is very good about closing the gate at the top of the stairs and closes his door as well.  He is also very good about making sure all the little Lego and other toy pieces are picked up and out of reach.  He either creates a playpen area for her out of pillows or he covers his Lego table with a blanket so she can't get to it.  One morning when I walked in, Luke told me that Ali was a time out for trying to get the blanket off his Lego table. HA!!
