Enjoying Fall

We are getting right into the swing of things with this Fall season upon us! Last weekend was a busy one for us. It was Thanksgiving weekend, so I was glad that Jeff had a few extra days off!
A little sister love...
Our church celebrated it's 50th Anniversary this past weekend. We had a semi-formal banquet/dinner on Saturday night. And then a great Sunday morning celebration at church. It was so great to see so many people back, who had been part of the church at some point. It was great to be together and celebrate! Jeff's grandparents were founding members of the church 50 years ago. We think we are very blessed to have 4 generations still going to the same church!! One of the old pastor's spoke at the banquet and his message was "the best is yet to come". It's amazing to see how God is working in our church right now. We feel blessed to be a part of it!
I LOVE this picture of Marty!
Saturday morning, we ventured out to the pumpkin patch with our friends. The kids had a blast running around in the hay maze and seeing some animals...and the best part was the tractor/hay ride!! I love the colors of Fall and I love to get pictures of the kids with pumpkins, so here are a few attempts...
Marty loved this slide, he would go up the ladder, down the slide, over and over again! Marty was trying to pick up one of the pumpkins...
Jeff had Friday and Monday off during the Thanksgiving weekend, so he was able to come with us to drop Megan off at school and he also picked her up. She was SO excited that daddy could come to her school too!
Playing in the hay...Gabby got her very first professional haircut this week! She was so excited to go to "the Beaners"! She had watched Megan get her haircut there once and so she knew it was a fun place. She was a little nervous at first and didn't even want to smile for me. She was so well behaved and we think her haircut is SOOOO cute!!
Before...(her hair is very thin and fine and it was still her baby hair!)
After...
Jeff and Marty came to watch the girls in their swimming lessons last week. We brought the camera along and got a few pictures!
Working on their back floats...
Hope you enjoyed all the pictures!!

There is something about pumpkin patches that are so enticing! I kind of want to go and take pictures at one, even though I don't have children : ) Looks like fun.

That is awesome! Love the attempts to get the kids all looking the same way. Glad to hear the celebration at KGF went well. We would have loved to make it home for the weekend... one of these years. Love all the pictures and love and miss you all!
