Fall

I love the fall. Except the wind, which is currently blowing garbage cans all over the neighborhood. But fall is just such a time of anticipation. We've had a very busy time. Thank goodness Brian is back from hunting. Even though he didn't get an elk, he's got two little animals around here he can help chase.

Ainsley is in full swing in preschool, dance class, and gymnastics. She's so darn cute in her little leotards. We had her birthday celebrations a few weeks ago. I can't believe she is four years old already. The weekend before her birthday, we went to pumpkin festival with some of her little friends then had food, cake, and presents at our house afterward. On her actual birthday, so chose to go out to Hong Kong's for her birthday dinner. She had cupcakes at preschool the next day. We went to the aquarium in Denver the day after that, then had another little party for her down in Laramie. So it was really more of a birthweek than a birthday.

Sam's been very tired but very patient through all Ainsley's activities. He had fun during her birthday week as well. He especially loved the aquarium. He run up and down the windows in the panoramic shark tank room, saying "WOW, WOW, WOW" over and over. Too cute. He's had a cold, is getting several teeth in, and is just getting over a little stomach flu, so he's had a very long autumn so far. We're hoping he gets to feeling better so he can enjoy the outdoors a little more.

As for me, I've been fighting tooth and nail to maintain the order of the house, but I'm loosing the battle. Oh well. It's clean enough I guess. :) It's just hectic around here with a sick kid.

Well, I suppose I should get back to my battle. Enjoy the pictures!
