Pumpkin Patch

Where has the time gone?

I have nothing to say for myself. I have been a terrible blogger. No excuses. Well, maybe just a few... September just flew by. In 14 short days, I managed to drive to Atlanta to see my sister (with Lila, Grandma, and Grandpa), visit St. Louis with Derek and the kids, fly to New York City for work, and then drive to Kansas City with Derek to see the Raiders. What a whirlwind. I am still recovering. But, back to NYC for work next week.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much the kids have changed since my last post. I can no longer count the words that they know. They are not yet using complete sentences, but they certainly know how to get their points across. Last monday, Derek turned on Monday Night Football. Addie promptly reacted "no football, daddy." I love this girl! Will and Lila are also quite vocal. When frustrated, though, Will resorts to crying, and Lila emits an ear-piercing scream.

We took down "baby jail," so the kids now have access to the entire first floor, not just the family room. Oh, what little monkeys! They climb the stove, play in the dogs' bowls, crawl in the cabinets... We have stepped up our baby-proofing efforts, but it is hard to stay ahead of them!

P.S. I should have more time for posts now that football and post season baseball have started. :-)
