Wow! 2 weeks have flown by and I've yet found time to update the blog! Between my last update & now, here are some highlights:

Nolan had his 1 year check up & weighs a whopping 17 lbs 5oz & is 28 inches long. So no forward-facing car seat for him yet

Scott & I celebrated our 8 year anniversary on Oct. 7

Leah got to take "cubbie bear" home for the week from Awana's (which meant lots of additional clothes changing & picture taking for mom...as well as bringing snacks to Awana's this week.

Leah, Nolan & Mom attended 2 birthday parties

The whole family went with Mema & Grandpa to Angels
Camp for 2 days & visited Ironstone Winery, Big Trees, and Cousin Susie's place in Murphy's where Leah & Dad fished in the creek. (No fish caught-but enjoyed the beautiful scenery). Leah & Dad even went for a swim at the condo's "heated pool" (although Dad would beg to differ).

The kids & I picked Grammy up from the airport yesterday. She spent a week in Chicago with my sister, helping her with Mia & the baby.

To top it off-I started a small cough 2 days ago that seems to have exploded into a wanna-be cold. Needless to say-we have a busy weekend coming up-so I am laying low until Saturday! (Right-with 2 kids under 4-ha!) Thanks goodness for Disney videos-now if I could only figure out how to get a 1 year old to sit still all day!
