October

Can't believe October has come and gone.  This year is flying by.  We have been so busy, it's easy to see the days fly by.  Julian has been very busy after school with football, and that now has come to an end.  It's kind of sad in a way to be over, even though I will not be sad to not have to get him to 4 practices while Chris is busy working.  But, we have made friends and enjoy watching your child participate in a sport.  

Here is a couple odds and ends to bring us to Halloween!

 Our fall decorations!  

 Some pictures of Julian.  Again he is #88.  The Haddam/Killingworth football league bought all the kids the pink socks in support of October breast Cancer awareness month.  Some of these kids don't know the significance, but to those that do, it's really neat to see everyone rally to support a cause.  And it's wonderful to see our league spend the money to support such a needed cause as well.  

 I can't believe how big he is getting.  I stole a quick moment to get a picture with my big man. It's really hard to get these days.  Taking pictures isn't his favorite thing in the world to do, especially while there are audiences. 

 I tried to get some pictures of the trees in and around my neighborhood.  October really is a beautiful time of year in Connecticut.  This is such a wooded and rural area, and it is so pretty just to drive around.  I have learned that I do love this time of year in the north.  The weather has been really nice, and beautiful scenery.  

 My little climber (yes, I am going to put her in gymnastics soon) was found on top of the washer one day.  There is no telling where this little one will end up.

 I had to try to get a couple pictures of this moment.  They play together 24/7.  There are good times and bad, but they truly love each other and would be lost without the other.  

 This was the morning after our October hurricane in Connecticut.  Lilly and Alex were out to survey the damage.  We were extremely lucky compared to our neighboring states to the south.  And thank goodness we decided not to live on the shore.   We only were without power for 12 hours ( and with 3 little ones, that was plenty long enough).  The high winds here brought down some tree  and limbs, but nothing too major.
