I am having trouble figuring out how to store my photos so overtime I went to work on this I got lost in photo space issues...  anyways- decided to just catch up on most of October.

 

A great time hanging out with all our neighbors after school- a HIGH of living here at the Brook the last three years as our families grew.,

Sam on his way to the swings to pick up his sister from the bus.

"What? Am I am all wet? I don't care:)"

All of our grownup friends managed to get babysitters and attend a trivia night potluck dinner event.  How amazing to be out with friends- without our children!- even though we lost trivia TERRIBLY!

Sam and I "chaperoned" Olivia's class field trip to a local farm.

Alisson is Sam's speech therapist and is wonderful.

Amy is a God send off our family and our ministry this year.  She is amazing.  

Students laying games at our fall retreat.

Hanging out with Daddy while he led worship for the students. 

While the students took time to meet with God- the kids and I had a great time playing in the amazing yard. We had so much fun exploring leaves and trees.

I really really wish this picture was not blurry.

One of Isaac's twins:)  After school we play on the playground with them most days till its time to go home.

And they invited Nate and the kids to an ice hockey game Friday night- they all had so much fun!

On Friday Isaac and I both had dentist appointements.  Isaac did great wearing the cool sunglasses.  I am still so impressed with the fluoride that they just paint on.

 Saturday we visited the Amherst Fire Department Open house- it was really fun to check out the fire trucks and ambulances.

Love this guy.

We celebrated Gianna's 4th birthday at the Farm Tale- though a bit chilly it was a lot of fun to see the animals and ride the big slide.

 Sunday morning we attended church and met some new people during our new fellowship hour afterwards.  And Nate and I served communion- kind of a fun new way to serve.  In the afternoon we headed to John and Laura's GORGEOUS fall wedding.  What a joy to see these two tie the knot.  Having met just a little over a year ago here in Amherst!

They included ALL the UMASS Nav students- so fun to see them all!!

 And we are so thankful for Liz and Andy and our friend Amy for taking such good care of our kids so we could go to the wedding solo.

Our weeks are full!  And our kids are cute:)  Last Saturday I helped set up the Apple Harvest Festival.  Afterwards I fell asleep.  Once the kids got there- they had fun.

I love his determination to make sure ALL of the pumpkin is green.

Have you ever seen a cuter scooter-er ?:)  

We went to Crocker to practice bike riding in the beautiful weather.  I remember just thinking that our life is pretty sweet.  I am thankful.

And because we aren't busy enough, we visited FIVE houses this week.

This one is in a great neighborhood- dated and over our budget...  never know though.

Sam taking cute selfies.

And these have been all over our front yard this summer.  It has NOT been a highlight to say the least.

This house is great, but we would fill it up SO fast...

Handsome guy for school picture day.

This view comes with...

This stove.  huh. 

And many thanks to our friends Ana and Astrid and Audrey who allowed us to look at five houses without our children.  What an amazing tribe we have here!
