October

October looked a little different this year, but we made the best of it and had a great month enjoying our favorite season!

Pumpkinville

Pumpkin Carving

History Day and Caleb's Preschool Class Party

So thankful for great schools who worked so hard to make this fun season feel "normal" to our kiddos during this not so normal time. 

Angelica Schuyler, Pocahontas, and a beautiful Greek goddess.  

The Schuyler sisters.  Work!

Hailey's teacher surprised them by dressing up as Hamilton! (and we were happy to have another use for some of our "Familton" party props!

This was one very happy pumpkin!  He couldn't wait for his class party!

We Love Fall on Pope Ave

Loving these big old trees in our new 'hood!  What do they feed the trees on Pope Ave??!!

Happy Birthday to Me!

So happy to still be in school (in person!)

(please make it last!)

More than two months in and I've not once heard these kids say "I don't want to go to school" yet.  We are all so grateful for this time meeting in person. They've gotten used to the masks and the distancing and are just happy to be with the teachers and friends who they love so much!

Caleb loves preschool and has made lots of new freinds!

Caleb be nimble, Caleb be quick!...

He comes home with pockets full of acorns...every day!!!

Caleb's girls were definitely on board with helping support his preschool fundraiser at Coco + Hazel!

We also got to show our new neighborhood BFF our old neighborhood.  

Avery loves first grade! Her teacher said she is one of the brightest students in class!

Lainey is "Ms. Popular" and the teacher's pet!

When one of your best friends is your daughter's substitute teacher you of course bring them wine and request a parent teacher conference (around the firepit) asap! We were happy to learn that Lainey's teacher told the substitute that if she needed any help, to ask Lainey :)

(Sweet Hailey is LOVING school too! Her teacher just hasn't shared any pictures yet ;) She has her two best friends in class with her this year so she is in heaven!)

Fall Fun With Friends

We love our group of COVID friends and neighbors!

We loved having the Lucks live with us for a few days while they were finishing their house renovation!

Caleb was in heaven having more boys around 24/7!

My Cute Pumpkins

Back to school haircut for Buddy!

Another great checkup for Tootie!

New ortho bands for the big girls!

Joyful Noise!

(Love how much they love each other!)

New milestone! Babysitter Hailey on duty!!  Halleluiah! 

Mommy and my girls loved camping in our backyard on a beautiful fall night!

Somehow, only the girls lasted through the night.  We woke up to find that Daddy and Caleb snuck inside!
