Fall Fun

Well, I decided that maybe the best way to keep everyone up to date on our family was to start a blog. So, this week, I'll start with some pictures of the fun that we've been having with the beautiful fall weather here in Michigan. I've gotten the girls out as much as possible because I know that the time is coming very soon where I will not even want to go out to the car.

Here is a picture of the girls in their Halloween costumes. Although I'm not a big fan of Halloween, we decided to dress the girls up and go downtown for candy on Friday afternoon. The girls were both way more interested in eating the candy that they had in hand rather than going to get more. Meredith was dressed up in a unicorn costume and Amelia was a monkey. Here, you can see Meredith's newest attempt to smile for the camera - it's really more of her just squinting her eyes.

We took advantage of a beautiful day Saturday to go play at the park. We got in some quality swinging time, played with the leaves, and Meredith and I walked down a path while Tim and Amelia threw rocks in the water. This is a picture of Meredith on our "hike". She was quite enthusiastic about hiking (read: running) down the path.

Here is a picture of Amelia enjoying the park. We were throwing leaves on her head and she had a great time watching them shower her. Ahh, the simple pleasures.....

We have had some weather that is not exactly conducive to outdoor fall fun - actually downright cold, so here is a picture of Amelia enjoying one of her favorite indoor activities (although not one of my favorites!!) - laundry basket rides!!
