Not Much

Madelynn posing again-actually, she rarely looks and smiles at the camera these days so these pictures are few lately

happy birthday Justin!

So we haven't been up to much or I just haven't taken photos of anything lately. Justin had his birthday and his present request was to go dirt biking with a friend-so he was able to do that. He did reassemble his bike back together and it is working great and looks pretty cool.
I am learning to can this year. My co-worker/friend/mentor is teaching me-so far we have done pears and pear jam. Tonight we are going to do salsa and we might try apple butter or apple pie filling. I got the chance to go to the Darius Rucker/Brad Paisley concert last week with some girlfriends which was a lot of fun.
Madelynn is growing out of all her clothes. The clothes that fit at the beginning of summer are short on her now. She is enjoying drawing and wants to cook waffles with me every day. She also brings up going to pre-school constantly. This past weekend she was able to dig through the dirt with our neighbor boy to look for "ta-taters".
Fin is just turning into our little boy and he is saying more and more words. All vehicles are "nees" which is the sound he makes when he is playing with cars. He also wants to dress himself now and doesn't like to be helped at all. We just discovered that he is allergic to cats which is kind of a bummer since he really likes to play with the kitties.
Other than that we are enjoying the warm fall!
