Where does time GO?

I can't believe the last time I updated was 27 September. I thought surely, I had done at least the trip to the pumpkin patch.

Let's see...how about a quick (pictureless) recap (with pictures to follow shortly...maybe...)

The boys are doing well! We have a great time with our neighborhood friends and I know we're now spoiled and will expect friends like this where ever we go from here on out!

Nick seems to be having a knowledge explosion. He talks a lot more and identifies lots of things. He'll still give ya a heart attack in the car when he spots some sort of heavy equipment (backhoes, cement trucks and the like) by screaming "WHAT'S THAT WHAT'S THAT WHAT'S THAT???" OR "BACKHOE MOMMA BACKHOE!!!" He's a lot of fun to be around...and he does have a temper - he throws whatever is in his hand. Which reminds me, he's earned the nickname "Chuck" because he's pretty good at throwing. He thinks it's fun. We can't believe he'll be the BIG TWO in two weeks (10/30).

Jake is doing well in preschool. He's been taking soccer. It's "Smart Start" soccer so one of us has to go with him to help him learn the basics. It's been mostly a bonding experience with Daddy - Nick and I go to watch.

Both boys are in swimming lessons for October. Jake is doing GREAT! Nick is doing well too, today he was floating on the noodle all by himself until he realized I wasn't touching it anymore.

They play pretty well together most of the time. We're disappointed to see the warm days of summer disappearing so early in October but are trying not to let it keep us inside too long. We bundle up and go outside. I'm saving the playing in the rain for later...as a last resort! They went outside with friends last night for the first time in several days...all the fresh air was great after we've all been sick!

Stay tuned for pics of the pumpkin patch trip. The boys picked out great pumpkins on our tractor hay ride! We have our Halloween costumes already and are ready for that too!

Hope everyone is doing well!

Love
