First snow.

Our NYC family came for an early Thanksgiving and we were greeted with our first snow! After the kids made their way through the snow buffet, there was just enough left for a couple snowmen. Thanks Uncle Rusty for helping with the fun. And for saving my baby when he escaped into the snow with just his pjs on and barefeet.

Love Love Love Love Love this time of year.

Reading Picnic

Missing my friends today.

New Friends

Making muffins in pretty clothes. The key to a happy playdate is separate bowls....

Pre-School Halloween Party

Making Jack-o-lanterns

The yucky fun part.

All done.

And finding jack-o-lanterns in the clouds. 

Still hot! Let's have a picnic.

It's Fall!

Fishing with Daddy and Papa

All within about 20 seconds

Sounds weird, but marching band is cool in the South.

That's why we moved.

Flashback - Lydia 2 years old

A few shots before we left Chattanooga

Doesn't look good Cookie Monster. Sounds like a blocked artery. 

Not just walking. Running!

Mom. This outfit sucks.

Out with the ladies

Last Playdate

Leaving Chattanooga is hard for so many reasons, but one of the hardest is breaking up Lydia and her best friend Kate. They have been friends since they were babies. Learned to love the Little Mermaid at the same time. Giggled and fought like sisters. Wendy (Kate's mom) and I learned to be mommies together.

When we told Lydia we were moving to Boise, she got all excited, then gasped. "Wait! What about Kate?!?". I know. Breaks your heart. I know they will be wonderful pen pals.

This was one of their first playdates. I took photos since their tops matched. (Not planned.)

Wendy and I decided to take the girls on one last playdate. This time to a lovely tea house just up the road. My how they have grown.
