Halloween!

What an exciting time of the year! Holidays are soon approaching and the calendar is just going to be filling up with things to keep us busy. Today at school we were able to dress up in our costumes, I was the Statue of Liberty, and we had a parade for our parents. We sang our Halloween songs for mom and dad and everyone was so impressed. Then we had our friends over Miles, Landon, Jessica and Tyler, to come and Trick or Treat with us. We had so much fun. I love when we have get togethers. We had pizza and then we were able to eat our candy for dessert! Lyla probably opened the most candy! Speaking of the little angel, Lyla had a hearing test done this week because she has had so many ear infections that the dr is concerned about her hearing loss. Even though they did find some loss there they have decided to take her adenoids out and replace her tubes in her ears. She will have surgery on December 12th. Mom wishes it was a little earlier so Lyla can get some relief from all the pressure in her ears.
It was a busy weekend and we are looking forward to more exciting adventures in the next couple of weeks. I start swimming the 15th and soccer will end. I really like to swim and mom thinks I can be pretty good at it if I keep practicing. I might as well use those long legs God has given me!

A Perfect Fall Weekend

What a great weekend! We started out with my soccer game in the morning and boy was it cold! Then we went to Sullivan Farm where the weather decided to be nice and we were able to go on a hayride and pick a few pumpkins. The activities weren't over for us yet as we went to the Harvest Party at Clatter Valley Park. We dressed up at the Statue of Liberty and a little angel. I think we had the best costumes there! We decorated our pumpkins, played with our friends and even hit the pinata. It was so much fun. Sunday we ventured off to another farm where we saw cows, pigs and chickens. We went on another hayride and got 2 more pumpkins. Tomorrow I get to go on a bus for school and go on a field trip to the same farm. We have never been to so many farms in our lives. This fall weather and activites couldn't be any better.

A weekend to celebrate our mom!

We have been here for 6 months and have visited Indiana a total of ONCE! So to have company is really exciting for us. We love when our friends and family make the trip so we can share our wonderful life with other people. So this weekend it was mom's 32nd birthday and Tia (aka Lucy according to Sadie) and Trisha flew in to share with her a special girls' weekend. What a great time! We woke mom up with hugs and screaming "Happy Birthday". All the lady could do was smile. How can life get any better? Wake up to a great family and friends there to celebrate another year . Mom went to NYC to spend the day at the spa and shopping while we stayed with daddy. Boy was that fun! Dad took us to the pumpkin patch, the park and lunch. We decorated the house for mom with pumpkins and dad even got the outside of the house done so mom would be suprised. She was rather impressed when she got home the next day. Mom wasn't done celebrating as she took her friends to meet the New Milford friends. She feels so lucky to have such wonderful people in her life. Mom was really touched that so many of her friends came to wish her a happy birthday. It was a perfect weekend for her! We were so happy to be able to give her a day she rarely is able to get, kidless! Friends have gone home and life is back to normal. Yes, she misses her friends from home, but what a true blessing we have here in New Milford. We have amazing people who have made our new town a real place to call home!
