We had a play day with some of the kids cousins  - Justyn and Lyncoln. Jake loved playing with them!
.




One of Jacob's favorite places to go is the "milk store" aka Gossners. So this was a trip celebrating him filling up his magnet board for potty training.


 


 someone gave them a marker .... now it's all over both faces...



 Jake ran into the piano bench and got a nice goose egg. 

 Marie was given boots, and she immediately knew they were for her and immediately tried to put them on and walk in them 


 arts and crafts with an egg carton. 

 guess what I ate Mommy? Jacob dropped play dough and it's mine now!

Bowling with Joey et al., for Joey's birthday. 








Four hour delay at the air port. Play dough entertained Jacob for an hour....
while Marie napped. 


Yay! We made it for our Christmas festivities.

Robyn made an adorable tree skirt for Dad for Christmas!


Game to keep Jacob from running off while waiting for the shuttle - if you keep your hand on the luggage, you get a mentos. It worked, more or less.

Jacob being cute - we got so many boxes of locally grown apples. He loved helping use the peeler/corer to get them ready for drying, baking, apple sauce, etc. It was fun and delicious.






Kids playing with daddy!

Marie loves her babies. She found one when I was visiting teaching and wouldn't let go of it, so they let us borrow it. Needless to say, she has her own babies that she loves to hold now. 

While Spencer was recovering from the damage to his inner ear, we went on lots of walks to the park. The kids loved it!


One of Jacob's favorite breakfast foods are pancakes, especially if they spell J-A-C-O-B

Pumpkin walk














Ladybug and elephant - Horton!




After seeing all the pumpkins at the pumpkin walk, Jacob was very specific about the face he wanted for his jack-o-lantern. He wanted a 'curvy' mouth. 



went to trick-or-treat at Grandpa and Grandma's house


and dropped by to play with Joey for a bit


and went to Daddy's work party. Someone had tiny kittens - the kids were very interested in them. 





also went trick-or-treating at Jacob's nursery leader's home, Br. & Sis. Harris.
