Snotty Nose November

Well.... this week both babies got colds! This was Ayden's first cold and on top of it he is teething! :( His bottom 2 teeth have both come in and I think a few more may show before too long! We have spent alot of time indoors but the kids are on the mend and we actually managed to get outside today to enjoy the crisp sunny fall day. Madelyn helped Daddy "lawn-vac" the backyard (aka picking up all the tree debris) and I introduced Ayden to leaves. I am glad the week is coming to an end and hopefully we won't have to endure too many more illnesses this season! Here are some pictures of our week....

Seaside in November

Early this week we loaded up the kids in the car and took a trip to Seaside, Oregon to visit family. It was so great to spend time with Grandma Cathy, Grandpa Dave, Aunt Christa, Uncle Kelt, cousin Rane, Aunt Katie, Uncle John, cousin Sam, and Aunt Emily! Once it stopped raining :) we played on the beach, took in the local aquarium, and even played in the "hot pool" as Maddy calls it! :) It was so fun to watch all the cousins interact and "play" together! Time with family is precious and we appreciated everyone taking time to do so! We love you all!
