Harper's birthday party

Shortly after we moved to Ohio our friends from Colorado moved to Cleveland as well. I met Jen through a mom's meet up group in Denver and I have always enjoyed spending time with her and her family. Of course, we had spent so much time at my parent's house in Cleveland when we first moved out, but as soon as they moved to Cleveland, we settled into our new house in Columbus. They have now moved on to Chicago where Jen's husband Andy got an opportunity to work for a great organization and they are really happy. I wish we lived in the same town so we could play with them often. I feel we have really similar ideas about how we want to raise our kids. We were so glad that we were able to go to Harper's 3rd birhtday at her grandparents house before they moved to Chicago. Abby quickly fell in love with Harper's grandfather. She is now asking if she can have her next birthday at Harper's grandparents house. Connor was as adorable as ever. He is such an easy going little boy as long as his mommy is near he is happy. I love my little mommy's boy.

Maddie and Kelsey visit

This October we got a special visit from my cousin Diane, her daughter Maddie along with my aunt from New Jersey and her other grandaughter Kelsey. My other cousin, Chrissie, Kelsey's mom, was at a wedding and my aunt was going to be watching Kelsey anyways so when they found a cheap ticket they decided, why not? Kelsey is 4 months old and Maddie is a year and a half. Abby was so excited for our visitors to arrive and kept talking about how she was going to help take care of the babies. She did just that. She loved holding baby Kelsey and playing with Maddie. She is such a good little mommy. Connor was so excited to have visitors, too, and kept saying baby, baby!!! We had a great weekend catching up.

Fall Fun

Here are a few pics of the kids having fun this fall playing outside and being silly. It has been such a rainy year since we moved here so our time outside is a little less then I would like. It has been so nice having such a big yard to explore. I am hoping we can get a swingset next summer because both kids could swing for hours!
