Oct 18-20 Hocking Hills Cabin with the Fergusons

 We arrived at 3:00 the afternoon of Friday the 18th.  We spent our first couple of hours outside on the porch and around the cabin.

 I think this picture is sweet.  Micah is such an easy going happy little guy, much like his daddy.  They look quite a bit alike too. 

 We had some crazy moment with this crew, but what a blessing they each are to this family.  Cannot wait to see them interact with each other and grow together over the years, even if time and distance separate us.

Our first hike on Saturday was to Rock House.  The walk was not hard, but the weather was turning ugly.  We got quite soaked on the way back:)

 Family picture.  I forgot my moby so I held Micah who slept this whole hike to Old Man's Cave.  My arms were aching and shaking when we were done:)  Aria and Rayna were quite happy in the carriers.  Elli and Seth were great little hikers.

 Family picture.

The happy ocuple celebrating 38 years of marriage this weekend.  They alo both turned 60 this summer which is why we all went to the cabin.  To celebrate by spending time together.  Linda said she wanted family time and Larry said he wanted to go camping:)  Perfect!!!!!

 Queen of the mountain:)  She had a lot of fun in this spot just climbing on all the rocks.

 We loved this tree.  Such pretty colors this weekend.

 Native Americans.  Elli was very interested, but Seth didn't really want anything to do with getting his picture taken.

 Saturday night was much better than the day time.  We were able to have a delicious dinner by the fire.  Jenna made some hobo pies for us and brought smores for dessert.  It was fun eating, talking, and laughing together.

 Seth was getting a little sleepy.  Nana was happy to snuggle.

 One last night for the hot tub.  It wasn;t too hot for Elli and Seth who treated it like a swimming pool.
We had a great weekend together.  In fact, we may be up for this again:)

Disney on Ice, Oct 18, 2012

 Elli requested a snow cone in a Cinderella cup.  Why Not?

 We left Micah with mom and took just Elli.  She enjoyed the attention.  We did too.

 We saw our friends, Catherine, Anna, Caroline, nd Claire sitting a few rows in front of us.  Can you tell they also had snow cones?

The show was great.  Lots of our top disney stories were featured and it ended with all the princesses!

Popcorn, Slumber Party, Teaching

 Brent bought popcorn seeds from the boy scouts so I bought a hot air popper.  Elli was so very excited.

 Elli had a day off, Oct 15th, and Lily spent the night.  They had such a great time.

They went with me to my class the next day.  Elli read the book she wrote this past summer and then my students taught these girls some math.  I loved having Elli with me.

Sweetness

 Sweet boy with his Papa.

 Sweet little baby all wrapped up in one of Elli's bunny towels.

He sleeps with his arms right by his sides.

Happy boy on his tummy.   Look at those little arm rolls.

The Pumpkin Barn, Oct 13, 2012

 My little Punkins snuggling up.

 Sweet girl, Elli.

 Elli, Micah and I joined Kyle, Meg, Seth, Rayna, Ginger, Barry, Heather, Evan, and Sayja at the Pumpkin Barn.  We went on a hayride, picked out pumpkins, played with cats, went through a corn maze, and many other fun things.

 Elli and Seth were enjoying watching the big tractor wheels.

Elli was not in the mood for smiling with her little brother, but he was not into smiling either:)

Oct 12, Just Hangin Out

Micah and Brent watching a little golf.

 Getting so big!

 No smiles, but look at those chunky thighs:)

My sweet kiddos.

Sienna Festival and Rolling over?

 Elli was able to get her face painted and paint a pumpkin.  Sienna Fest was a hit for this little girl as well as all the residents.

 Micah is trying to roll over.  He gets that bootie up in the air and then doesn't know what else to do.

And he is also trying from his back.  He will arch and even get up on his side, but has not yet made it all the way over.  Boy is getting big so quickly.

Homecoming Parade at Cedarville

Seth caught on quickly that if you go int the road, you get all the candy that has dropped!!!!

The kids like the caramel and toppings better tha nthe apples.  Actually, we all did. We boiled them a little too long.  Oops.  Oh well. We haad a great night of playing, eating, and laughing.

Cuteness, Oct 5th, 2012

 Look how big my almost 4 month old is:)

Elli is going to be Little Bo Peep for Halloween this year.  (Micah has a sheep costume)  Emilee saw Elli's costume and realized she had the same one!  Today, they both wore their costumes and played.  I love that we have such sweet neighbors and therefore a good friend for Elli so close to home.
