Lots of football talk

It's football talk around here...

Nate is teaching Kevin the proper football stance. No surprise, Kevin always wants to play full blown tackle football. He is showing off his new #85 shirt, just like his Grandpop's football number. My dad sent Kevin a photo of himself in his high school football uniform (circa 1960's) and Kevin just could not believe it was him!

Cousin Isabel took her first steps, finally, during the Iowa/Iowa State game! Nate caught it on video and also snapped this picture of Kevin helping Isabel.

Center Grove Orchard

Well, we have sailed right through our sadness that summer is over and moved directly into fall mode. We might just have to turn on the heat soon if the weather stays like this. It was really chilly downstairs this morning and both kids woke up with cold toes.

We love Center Grove Orchard!

I took the kids for our first visit of the season today. It was chilly this morning, but they didn't seem to mind. The mini-barnyard was just perfect for Katie (and me) because the animals are contained in their pens so they didn't come too close. Kevin loved the corn pool. This was Katie's first "dip" in the pool. I was impressed that she did not eat the corn kernels. We took a tractor ride, played in the mini corn maze and jumped on the giant bouncy pillow. We came home with a peck of apples and peaches.

***Both kids were sound asleep when we got home!*** I could not have asked for a better Thursday. We purchased a season pass to the orchard and have plans to meet Kevin's preschool playgroup there for the next few weeks.

I was only able to snap a few photos on my phone:

Catching up...

Time has slipped away from me, so here are some pictures to catch up!

Kevin was up early today so he had breakfast with Nate.

Kevin received this super cool 3-D dinosaur shirt in the mail from Grandmom & Grandpop last week. He sure loves dinosaurs lately.

Adorable! I love this face!
