A glorious fall afternoon

Both kids love being outside. Cassidy still has a lot of fun with her slide and sandbox (as does Travis) but today she mostly wanted to runrunrun! Travis loves to watch his sister, try to catch up with her, and eat fistfuls of dirt. Boys will be boys! We are grateful for every sunny day and are really enjoying being outdoors, especially for walks with the kids in the stroller. We're getting to know our new town really well on foot.

Pumpkin loves to bring me "surprises" from outside, often leaves. Here you go, mama!The trees in our backyard and many in town are still very colorful.

Sweet Travis

It's almost impossible to get a picture of Travis NOT smiling.

Cassidy would really like it if I would let her jump from the top of the slide. Here, she's asking me to catch her.
