October!

Well, apparently this is turning into a once-monthly-updated blog. October was a busy, fun, and exciting month for us! We started off the month at the pumpkin patch, which was a huge hit.

The next day, Bella got blessed for the feast of St. Francis...we will be needing a booster or something, because the initial dose did not take!

The girls made their first and second trips to Marbles museum in Raleigh this month, and had a blast both times.

We had our yard sale on the 8th and netted $112, plus $50 for the double stroller via Craigslist this week. The remainder of the stuff went to Erin's old preschool's yard sale the following weekend, where they made over $900 for the playground project. And we got to clean out some stuff!

We had a fun trip to Concord on the weekend of the 15th where the boys took Logan camping, and they all had a great time, and we did a dry-run Halloween there. Erin had her last day at White Plains part-time preschool on the 20th, and got a week and a half off around her birthday before starting at her new school on November 1st.

We went to the State Fair on the 21st and they both enjoyed the animals and mini-donuts.

Her big ABC birthday bash was the 23rd, and she had so much fun with her family and friends at Crowder Park!


Despite her wishes, Erin had her 3-year checkup on the 28th. She weighs in at 32 lbs. 6 oz. (69th percentile) and is 39" tall (91st percentile). I wish I could tell you her blood pressure or vision screening results, but she, ah, declined those! She checked out good otherwise and got the good ol' flu shot.

We had a rainy Halloween here, but Erin (flower) really enjoyed going to the 4 houses that we did get to...Anna (bumblebee), however, cried the entire time!

We've also enjoyed a mediocre season of Wolfpack football so far:

So, it was a fun and busy month! Everyone is happy and healthy, not counting Anna's possible teething and a couple of little runny noses. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and more fun this month!
