BUSY

We have been incredibly busy these last couple of weeks, but it's been a good busy! So let's see.... where to start, how about with Norah. She started her first team sport, she's playing soccer! And in turn, I am now a soccer mom ;-) It is absolutely fun and so cute seeing a bunch of little 4 yr. olds chasing around that ball. The kids both have also started swimming again, and it's been a challenge with Nolan to say the least. Norah goes to lessons without me, but I am in the pool with Nolan and he isn't so much into participation, listening to the instructor(or me) or following along these days! All he wants to do is do what he wants, which usually isn't what everyone else is doing! So I will try to be patient, but it's going to be a long swim session with him. He has also started climbing! He climbs out of the crib, on his changing table, on the coffee table, couches....you name it he climbs it! It's been interesting.

Casey and I have both been keeping busy with work! He has been working in Kent now since about June and the commute is not fun. It adds a couple extra hours to his day and with the weather getting worse and it being darker out it's just gonna get worse. He is keeping his options open at work and may look into a job closer to home or pursue the possibility of firefighting(something he's thought of doing on & off over the years). I am going to be adding one extra 12 hour night shift every 2 weeks to my schedule so I can bring in a little more money, it is almost Christmastime ;-) At work I am also going through training to learn how to insert central lines(PICC's) into our tiny babies and am very excited I will get the opportunity to do this! We also went to my 10 yr high school reunion and annual work Halloween party last weekend! I can't believe it's been 10 yrs since HS, it was fun to see old friends and catch up. And, my work Halloween party was the best yet, I already can't wait for next year.

We are headed to the pumpkin patch this weekend so be on the lookout for pictures of that too!

About to dive into his crib!

Uh-oh, oh no(as he says) ~ caught

Even though she's not really into climbing she had to be like Nolan

And wrestling,

they can't get enough of it!

Great update, Beth! The kids are darling, as usual. LOVE the wrestling pictures. Avery and Jackson have just started to truly play with eachother...well, she makes him laugh hysterically while running circles around him and he just tries to keep up!!!

So proud of you with the whole PICC team thing. You are going to be SUCH an asset to the team!

I'm also looking forward to planning the Christmas party with you! Fun times ahead :)

Great update... i was missing you and the pictures of your children. Caitlyn also makes Ashton laugh so hard just by tossing a ball in the air a thousand times. They both laugh so hard. Great pictures they made me smile!
