Fall is in the air!

Fall is in full swing in our house! Pumpkins have been picked and decorated, skeletons have been hung, mums have been put on display...and mom has gone back to work?! WHAT?! Yup, change is in the air! A couple of weeks ago an offer came in out of the blue from my former boss from the White House. It was an offer I couldn't refuse and thanks to an incredibly flexible schedule and the amazing support from Grammy on such short notice, my first week has been great!

But back to the kiddos:

Before the carving comes the decorating!

This is the moment Hadley has been waiting for for 14 long months. Harper can FINALLY play with her on the playground!

And play...

...and play...

...and play.

Fireman 1 and Fireman 2

OHHHHhhh the things you allow to happen with the second child that you NEVER would with the first!

Ditto

(notice the almost 4 year old entrusted with catching the baby at the bottom)

Best friends in the sandbox

Meanwhile, someone grew a TOOTH!!!

Soon after, another two popped through to join in the fun, and we are happy to say that Harper has graduated from Baby Goldfish now that she can actually crunch up regular Goldfish without choking.

Time to decorate! I love mums. They are so festive!

Gratuitous picture of those amazing baby blues!

And our savior :)

We might never let her go!!!
