October...full of pumpkin patching

We went to the pumpkin patch not once but twice this year. The girls couldn't get enough of it! We went the second time with grammy and granddaddy when they came to visit. The first time we went, Evie tantrumed when we were leaving, but once she realized a pumpkin was going home with her, she was ok. Chris, Christy, Catie and Ashley also came to visit in October. We had fun dressing up and going to the Pumpkin Fest in Franklin. Adeline was a ladybug again...she insisted and Evie was a flower (and did NOT want to take her hat off!) she was the cutest little flower ever!! They were just precious going trick or treating in our neighborhood too. Adeline was cute when we got home. She was impressed that she got 10 pieces of candy and wanted to know the names of everything...poor deprived child didn't know what a Reese's was! We also flew to Richmond this month to go to my high school reunion. It was fun to visit with Meme and Pawpaw for a while as well. Evie continues to follow Adeline everywhere and says new words everyday! Love those girls!!

It's football time in Tennessee...and fall fun!

September definitely marks a busy time for us for traveling to Knoxville for football games and all our other fall activities. Adeline actually started taking big girl gymnastic classes in August right before her birthday. She was very hesitant at first, but she gets a little more 'gutsy' each week. She is for sure the smallest and youngest in the class.
Mike and I met some friends to tailgate for the UT/FL game in early September. We continued some house projects later in the month as well. Adeline and Evie got an awesome new outside toy as well. I will post a picture of it. It is PERFECT for our big yard!!
We had many birthday parties to attend as well which the girls loved. They also enjoyed helping mommy plant bulbs...it was SO cute!
September also marked going back to work full time for mommy. It was a little bit of an adjustment for us all, but is going well.

July & August fun...Adeline is three!!

After our trip to Atlanta in July, we came home to relax...well you know how that goes with the Thomas family-a little relaxing and a lot of working and staying busy. We decided to take Evie's pacie away when we returned from GA. She was only attached to it at night, but I was determined to get rid of it before she could ask for it by name. The initial 2 weeks of falling asleep were rough for her, but she was soon over it and such a big girl!
Adeline turned 3 on August 23rd. She was SO excited about her birthday this year and couldn't wait to go to the park to play with firends and eat her Mickey Mouse cake mommy made. It was a perfect Saturday morning in August for a party, not too hot. Everyone had a blast and Adeline talked about it for weeks!
