We love October!

I can't believe we are already halfway through October! We have been doing lots of fun stuff to celebrate Fall. This past Friday, we went to Boo at the Zoo; basically, this is an event held at the zoo for kids where they can come trick-or-treat at the zoo. It gave them a chance to wear their costumes, get candy, and see some of the animals.! We had such a blast :) Kaden is being a fireman and Noah is being a little lion. Both of the boys' costumes are adorable, and Noah was the star of the zoo on Friday. Everybody commented on how adorable his costume is, and one woman even took a picture of her little girl with Noah. We are so proud of our adorable babies and had a great time at the zoo.

Saturday, my parents watched the boys so Patrick and I could go out and celebrate our anniversary! Our third anniversary was on October 14, but Patrick had to work so we celebrated over the weekend. We have been through SO much (good and bad - mostly good) over these last three years but we are so thankful for all the blessing we have been given and look forward to all the anniversaries ahead of us :)

Sunday night we braved the cold to go to the fair. Both boys loved the lights, sounds, and animals. Kaden was still a little too young to ride the rides, but he sure loved munching on corndogs, french fries, and elephant ears! He also won his first ever prize playing a fair game! We had a good time even though we almost froze to death!

Just a few other updates.... Kaden is now in the swing of things at preschool! We no longer have tears at drop-off. He really doesn't even notice when I leave, and he actually cries sometimes when I pick him up. It is so awesome to hear him come home talking about all his friends and the fun things they do at preschool. I feel so much better about our choice to enroll him :) As for Noah, he is 8 months old now! He is sitting up and talking up a storm! He is such a curious boy and is fascinated with pretty much anything Kaden does (which sometimes drives Kaden crazy!). He is starting to scoot around the floor, so I have a feeling he'll be crawling in the next few weeks. Both boys are such a joy and we love being able to do so much fun stuff with them!
