Pumpkin Patch!

We went to the Pumpkin Patch a couple of weeks ago. We spent several hours enjoying the good weather. This is the best picture of the 3 kids that I could get. The girls had a blast climbing and jumping up and down the hay bales.

 The slide is always a hit too!

They spent a lot of time in the corn pile burying one another.

Can you find Lauren? 

 Meredith is lucky she didn't get lost in the corn maze, since after this picture she decided to take off running!

 Lauren found her pumpkin.

 so did Meredith.

 Levi spent his time in the stroller or with Mom carrying him in the sling.

 Riding Mocha and Dan.

One Month Old!

We have all survived the first month! We love you Levi and are so happy to have you in our crazy busy life! You are very tolerant to all the activities you are dragged to. You don't like your car seat too much and prefer to be carried in the sling by mom. You are pretty laid back. You have a sensitive tummy. You like to eat every 3 hours. You are up at night every 2-3 hours. We are patiently waiting for you to sleep more at night! You have met several family and friends this month. You have had a few stroller rides and usually stay awake the entire time. You have been to several soccer games,  church and to drop offs of gymnastics, piano, soccer practice, etc. You have smiled a couple times and are having more awake times now. Your hair is a little crazy so you sport a faux hawk most of the time.

 You tolerate the loud noises, screams, laughs, and "LOVE" from your sisters. They both love to hold and entertain you.

 We would never hear a peep out of you if we could hold you all day long on our chest. You prefer to put one hand behind your head!

You don't like to be swaddled anymore because you prefer to sleep with your hands above your head!

 

 I think you are trying to tell me to stop with the pictures! :)

Soccer!

Our Thursdays and Saturdays have been full of soccer, soccer, soccer!!! Meredith started soccer this season and loved every minute of it. She started really strong in the season, but ended the season with a few more cartwheels inbetween plays and smiling at us while running. Each Thursday you can't wait to put your soccer gear on. I have never seen you get dressed so quickly as you do on Thursdays!Meredith, I love that you have no fear and you wear a smile the entire time you play!

You smile the entire time you run! I love it!

 

Lauren's season is still going on, but it has been so much fun to watch you this season. You and your teammates are really growing together and mature with the sport. You always know where you should be and I love that about you! It has been a fun season to watch!

Making a goal...

My favorite part of each game....this smile on your face after you make a goal. You try so hard not to smile, but after you make a goal you run back to your position, then turn around and look at us with this smile. You just can't hold it in and I love it. I am so proud of you Lauren.
