All things fall and a great new recipe! :)

So it's been quite the crazy summer. Things are finally starting to get under control now that it's fall. Olivia is off at school Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. Still trying to figure out what is going on with Olivia's sleeping. She's averaging about 4 hours in a 24 hour period. Definitely not enough for a growing preschooler. We have an appointment with a pediatric nuerologist tomorrow and we are praying for some answers.

Matthew is growing up fast. Getting so big! He's off at an appointment with Daddy for his helmet. He has one tooth and he's getting another. He has started crawling, backwards!! It's so cute! I can't believe how quickly this summer went by.

I started watching a little baby named Alexa a few weeks back. She is just darling. She's still getting used to being away from her mommy. Matthew has been loving having a baby to play with! I'm looking forward to getting a new roof soon!! If you would have told me 5 years ago I would be this excited to get a new roof I would have called you crazy. Oh what getting older does to you! Olivia was eating watermelon yesterday and was complaining about the white seeds that were in it. Made me think about when we were kids and having to pick all of the seeds out of regular watermelon!

Fall is so beautiful this year!!! The colors are just perfect! I tried this new pumpkin recipe and it was AMAZING!! I'd definitely recommend it! Hope you all are having a great fall!
