October Snapshots

Just a girl and her buddy

We loaded up the car and headed to the orchard for some apples and pumpkins!

Mama is a serious fruit picker. She picks with purpose and fills one bag before the four of us even get halfway through the bag we are sharing! :) I have the best memories of going fruit picking as a kid with my Nagymama and Nagypapa. It makes it that much sweeter to have her here with us.

A trip to the orchard wouldn't feel complete without some cider donuts!

Cookies, milk and Wheel of Fortune with Uncle Tommy

When they Facetimed with Grammy, Juliet heard Grammy's voice from across the room, ran over and threw herself in front of everyone, so she could have a turn!

Locked out of Papa's house and hanging outside under my favorite tree until everyone got home!

We visited with Uncle Cory and his girlfriend, Bella, at one of our favorite bakeries.

Juliet is my faithful grocery helper. As soon as I drop the bags, she unloads every single thing until the bags are completely empty.

Abby is all ready to go to work complete with her own travel mug of coffee! 😉 She then went downstairs to play school for the entire afternoon.

All three girls are ready for school. Juliet paces and talks about seeing Ms. D until we pull up to the school. For the first couple of weeks, she would cry when we dropped her off, but now she hardly looks back to say goodbye!

Not time to leave until she finishes her morning smoothie.

Lots of things change in two years...some things do not.

When soccer practice is at dinner time and Nagymama sends you with your own baggie of her famous (GF) fried chicken. Some people have water breaks. Ella has chicken breaks.

September Snapshots (part 2)

Post bath time puzzle with Mama

Field trip with my big girl

Afternoon snacks on the deck with Mama

Ella insisted that Nagymama be her very first spa customer. Pedicure complete with a fancy glass of ginger ale, leg massage and cranberry red nails.

Wheel of Fortune time

Friends over for dress up and dinner!

truth.

There are lots of great things in this picture.
1. Juliet and her buddy. Seriously, could we have a more perfect dog for our family? He is the best!
2. Just one more perk of having Mama with us, she folds all the laundry before I even notice the basket. She ~~kind of~~ spoils us when she is here!

I bought this onesie for Juliet because to be strong and smart like her Mama (Nagymama) is a great thing!

I can't get enough of these days together...

Sometimes chilly Saturday mornings call for chocolate chip cookies, cozy blankets and a movie.

Joe and his two buddies

Sisters are at school, so it's finally Juliet's turn to play on Nagymama's iPad.

That's the proud smile of the winner of the library summer bookmark contest. Abby worked so seriously on her entry this summer. So...when she got the phone call that her design was chosen, it was extra exciting! Ella thinks it's "amazing that her big sister is famous before she even gets to college"!

Juliet loves to read books.

Snapchat videos with Nagymama are my favorite!

September Snapshots: soccer, a hurricane and Nagymama

The month of September was full, as we adjusted to our new school schedules and activities. Many afternoon car rides looked like this. It isn't easy going from a summer schedule to a school schedule.

Ella started her first season of soccer and LOVED it.

She loved learning and making new friends!

Quote of the morning: Daddy, now I really think I get what Troy means when he says to "getcha head in the game"! (High School Musical)

Just another reason half day Kindergarten is my favorite...

We spent days praying non stop for our home away from home and Mama and my dad as they rode out the impending storm. We were so thankful that Mama wasn't alone as Hurricane Irma barreled right toward her home, but that also meant two big pieces of my heart were in the path of danger. So, we waited and trusted in the One who knows and cares, the God who can quiet any storm. We prayed for protection and God mercifully spared them of any damage. While most of Florida lost power, they only lost power for a few minutes. It was pretty amazing.

Then, after all that stress, Mama decided to take a vacation and come spend some time with us! To say we were excited about the unplanned visit is an understatement.
