October!

 Get ready for a lot of Joy! Below are a bunch of pictures from this past month. It's hard to believe Joy is already over a month old! Here's our little bundle of... you know what. :-)

 All the kids LOVE JoyAnna. They always want to hold her, kiss her, and just be around her. So you will see that portrayed in many of the following pictures. Big sister, Lydia, holding her "Joy Joy."

Big sister Carrie and Joy.

 Just a cute picture of Silas all ready for church.

 Three kids on a couch...with apples.

 Starting to smile!

 We've enjoyed some beautiful weather this month- getting outside as much as possible!

 Si's night-time "cheese!!!" (He's very enthusiastic.)

 Silas likes to give Joy's baby seats test drives.

 Care at Costco!

 Lydia had a dentist appointment to get some cavities looked at.

 "Cheeeeese!!!"

 We had our kitchen floor replaced so I took the kids to my folks while it was installed. Below they are enjoying some story time with Grandpa.

 Two beauties all ready for church.

 Si playing in the leaves- we, actually Zach, did a lot of raking this month.

 Enjoying some special "Mamma-Lyddi-time" playing a very basic version of Settlers of Catan.

 Carving pumpkins!

All dressed up for Trick or Treating! 

Mamma and Elsa...

The Star Wars/Frozen mash-up is all ready to go! (Cutest. Yoda. Ever.) -Cutest Darth too! ;-)

 October is pastor appreciation month. The girls were super pumped about the cake!

 Story time... one of my favorite times. :-)

 We have such a wonderful church family. We've been so blessed with many meals, gifts and visits this month from our friends. Our good friends, Sharon and John, even brought over a craft for the older kids with the meal- so thoughtful!

Onto November!
