Fall Pictures

This past weekend we spent a few days out on Mayne Island, visiting with my sister and brother-in-law, Sylvia and Sid. They bought a place there with a beautiful view of the ocean! Life on a small island is very relaxed and it is a great place to unwind. We helped them rake up the leaves in their yard and the kids had fun jumping in the piles we made. Sid took a few family pictures of us - something we don't do very often! Fall just seems to be a good time for pictures!

Of course, I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of just the kids in the leaves!

First Steps!

Our little guy, Owen, took his first steps this week! It is so fun to watch him. He stands up on his own and is so proud of himself. It always amazes me that even at the age of 11 months, they know when they are doing something new! He is still a little wobbly on his own but I'm pretty sure it won't take too long for him to be moving around on his 2 feet!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a nice dinner with Kevin's side of the family on Sunday. We had a very nice service at church this morning. The weather was also much nicer today - a perfect fall day. After all the rain yesterday, I needed to get out today! We went for a walk this afternoon to the park and I managed to take a few pictures of the kids outside. I was hoping to get the 2 of them together on a picture but getting them to both sit still and look at the camera is not quite possible yet!!
