Emily & Alexander over the last few months

This Fall has been really busy with lots of fun things, but unfortunately the blogging has decreased as a result.  Here are some great pictures of the kids over the last few months.

Emily lost another tooth.   

 

 

 

 

 And here she is with yet another lost tooth.  The poor girl had this tooth just hanging on by the tiniest root that when it finally fell out, the adult tooth was already peeking through!  She still has a huge gap up on top but has managed to learn to eat around it.

 

 We went to a summer luau party with the kids -- they had an absolute blast!  :)

 

 

 Our little flower!  Hahaha!  ;)

 And Alex also lost a tooth in early October.  The tooth fairy was really busy for a few weeks!

 Emily and Alex participated in a summer reading program and Emily was one of the top readers of all the second graders at her school - logging over 1500 minutes of reading time from June-August.  I surprised her at school for the award ceremony - she was so excited and we were/are so proud!!  :)

 

 

 A nearby town had a family event one Saturday with some local shops' sales, a scavenger hunt, and rides in this cute little tractor.  Emily wasn't interested in taking a ride, but Alex really loved it!   

 

 During this family day a local photographer setup a photo-booth and took pictures of those who stopped by.  How fun!

 

Alex tried on Nelson's hat one day -- I love it on Nelson, but it might look even better on Alex!  :)

 

Here are some absolutely crazy pictures of Alex.  He's a really funny kid and these pictures capture his true personality!  He's so much fun - we love him!!  :)
