Catch up

That's what I am doing..........playing catch up with the blog!! Here we are in mid October at the pumpkin patch. It was a GREAT day the trees were in peak color and it was beautiful. We selected pumpkins for carving and took a hay ride around the woods.

Here are some pictures from G and G's visit. On the way home from "Amish Country" we stopped at the longest covered bridge in Ohio. We were able to walk across and take some pictures. It was really neat. The Amish buggies use it.

The Longest covered bridge in Ohio



I am pleased to announce that Maggie is potty trained!! Once we started in hard core it took about 5 days and she has been doing great!! This is a major accomplishment in the "mom" department (and if you have done it before then you know this) so I just had to make a note of it!!

Also over the past 2 weeks Julia has made major strides in her reading!! We are so proud of how well she has done. It almost happened over night!! It is crazy how fast she is growing up. She LOVES school and only goes part-time so I am just amazed at how much and how fast they are learning in kindergarten.

it's been a while.......

Maggie did start preschool this year and she is loving it!! Here she is adjusting wonderfully on her 1st day. Her teacher is named Miss Larae and she loves going twice a week.
Grandmama and Granddaddy came for a visit in October and we had a GREAT time with them. We visited "Amish country" and they also got to go up to Julia's school and eat lunch with her and see her classroom.

This year is flying by and I cannot believe it is already November!! We will be have a small family Thanksgiving here in chilly Ohio. The winter is here. It arrived last week and will be here until at least April. Ahh the joys of living up north.......6 months of winter. Sorry for the delays in updates. I will have more pictures soon. I have a lot to catch up on.
