Warm Day In October


We took a few family self-portraits on warm October day.
They turned out quite nicely!
The girls are WALKING!!!
Actually... almost running. It was amazing to me how
quickly the picked it up, once they took those first steps - it was less than 3 weeks between teetering between couch and chair to walking up and down the hallway, turning around and picking things up without holding on to anything. I am discovering the phrase 'keep you running' to hold so much truth! And with two it's twice as true!

It's quite a challenge to get them both into the van - but I figured out a system! I keep one in the umbrella stroller and either hold the hand of the other, or carry her. It looks a little funny - but it keeps them safe in the parking lot. I can't wait until our house is done and we have an attatched garage!

Well, I know I haven't posted much lately -
but some of you may know why!

Jon & I have had to take over construction of our house, as our builder... well... basically they ran
out of money. So I am now a general contractor, organizing the trades, money and timing of the work being done on the house. It's a full-time job! We'll keep you posted... but probably not as often as before! Keep checking though!
