Mexico Trip!

 Kevin and I got to go to Cancun for a friends-trip, and it was a great escape from winter weather at home! It was only possible because my parents & sister (and her family) were willing to help out with Chloe, April, and Peter. Big thank you to all of them!! Here are some pictures from our time away: We got to eat breakfast at the airport club, which was very nice! The wives got their husbands the same swimsuit - with our faces on them! If you click the photo, I think you can zoom in :)  We enjoyed several great dinners and shows. We only had one afternoon of rain, but it wasn't even enough to get us to leave the beach!  Most of the time, it was sunny like this! Kevin got the "catch of the day" for lunch - and it was the whole catch on his plate!! Here is our before and after of tennis: We also tried paddleboarding on a really windy morning. It was a great time with great friends! :)

O Christmas Tree!

Last weekend we went on the hunt for a Christmas tree!  We found a perfect tree & Kevin had help this year cutting it down :) The finished product has the angel touching the ceiling. That means we got the right height ;)  

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)  

18 years!

We celebrated 18 years of married life at the beginning of November. We got to spend a night in the city with our church friends, and then the two of us went to a Bed and Breakfast farther north for a second night. Then we picked up our kids and watched the Eagles win a close game! :)   

Apple Butter Day

We had our 5th Annual Apple Butter Day earlier in the fall.  It was a full day of working and fun - started early with chopping apples and ended with canning the apple butter. Games and food were in between! :)  

Recently!

How are we already to October 2nd?! The month of September was very full. Here are a few photos from the month: Chloe has run Cross Country this year. She has improved her time since the beginning & has lots of friends on the team. Over Labor Day Weekend, we visited with some friends at their hunting camp. Peter enjoyed the wildlife 😉 Chloe enjoyed the Fair we went to over that weekend! I got to escape the house for a long weekend with several girlfriends. It was a relaxing time away! Then, the next weekend we were back to the fields- baseball and soccer!   These are great days! Busy, lots of me taxiing from one place to the next, but it’s really not too much when the kids get such enjoyment (and exercise!).

First Day of School!

 The kids have returned to school - 8th, 7th, and 4th grades are off to a good start! :) They all came back happy after the first day :)
