Fall...the Best Season of All

Addy's 1st day of 2nd grade school picture. It's slightly stretched out since I took a picture of a picture. She's doing awesome.

Jackson's 1st day of kindergarten school picture. He loves school and has made some friends. A huge answer to my prayers! And his class is only 15 kids this year.

Since Addy and Jackson are in school all day, I get to hang out with these two sweeties!

The kids are all taking swim lessons for the 1st time! I know, I'm an irresponsible parent. Their classes are at the same time, and in the same pool, on Saturdays at the Rec Plex.

Addy and Jack are in the same class. And Aaron only has 3 people in his. I got choked up watching them all the other day. I felt so grateful to have so many adorable people to love, including Josh!

Jackson lost his 2 front bottom teeth. Addy pulled out the 1st and I pulled the 2nd. The dentist in our family didn't want to hurt him.

I got Benny to pose for 2 seconds with a pumpkin. Everyone else was doing it! I took him and Aaron to Royal Oaks orchard with some friends.

I couldn't get Benny to leave the animal barn. He's LOVES animals.

Happy to have at least one girl in our family so I can do this to her nails. She loved all the comments from friends at school.

I got to go on Addy's 1st field trip this year to the Apple Holler.

Benny's had a rough month! His crash running down the driveway was the worst.

This baby wishes he was a big kid. He's the only one of the kids that wants to ride a bike.

I LOVE this picture! The boys were accidentally dressed alike so I took their picture. Benny is 'kissing' Jackson. He makes kiss lips and the sound perfectly.

Exciting news!!! We said good bye to our crib after 8 years and 4 babies. Addy moved at 18 months, Jack at 21, Aaron at 24, and Benny at 20. I prefer moving them before they can open doors or get too attached to the crib.

Here's Benny's new bed. We took down the crib and set up his bed. He was so surprised when we showed him. He had the biggest wide mouth smile ever! His joy brought actual tears to my eyes. (My camera battery was dead.)

We also got rid of the rocking chair in his room. I was really excited to get rid of it as it reminded my of hours of nursing sleepy babies in the middle of the night.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Neville for the adorable PJs sent as a Halloween treat.

Benny in his new bed saying 'cheese' for the camera (one of the few words he can say).
