Fall Fun

It's been a very fun fall so far!  Quickly fall is turning into winter as we've already been sledding.  The kids thought one inch of snow was enough to go sledding in and I think they were right, it worked pretty well :)  Below are a few of my favorite pics from the fall.  We had a wedding and Tessa loved this swing.  What you can't see is that it was pouring rain but that didn't phase the kids at all!  They loved playing in the pouring rain.  There were tons of kids there but at one point I looked over and saw Tessa just swinging away.  She was in heaven, what a fun swing!

The second picture is from the UW homecoming parade.  It's a super fun parade and as you can see from Tessa and Nolan, they were pretty excited.  Derek had football that evening but mom joined us for the fun.  It was a fun night :) 

Halloween 2013

Halloween 2013 - We had an adorable little construction worker and Minnie Mouse with us this year.  Both kids loved bopping around town going door to door trick-or-treating.  They would run up to a door, say trick-or-treat, and Nolan would ask every single person who answered the door what their name was.  He often wanted to stay at each door to have a conversation with the people who lived there but would quickly realize that the other kiddos were already moving on to other houses so he'd sprint away.  Our little guy sure isn't very shy!  Tessa had a great time too.  After we came back over to "our side of town" Nolan was ready to be done but Tessa wanted to head around our neighborhood.  I'm so glad that she did, we are lucky to have the neighbors that we do.  They were all so sweet to Tessa and several of them had special little packages set aside for Tessa and Nolan.  With most of them having grown kids, they know how special Halloween is and wanted to make it special for our kids.  Another fun Halloween!  Another fun night with the Lane crew...but I'm bummed I didn't get any pics of them!
