Happy Fall Y'all!

We had such a wonderful fall. Full of firsts! Our first fall in Jacksonville, the boys are able to experience and enjoy events (which is better than pushing them in the stroller everywhere we go), and because Abram is in kindergarten, we had more firsts to enjoy.

The fall started with the Dual Language Program and First Nine Weeks Honors Assembly. Abram goes to a school that speaks Spanish in the morning and English in the afternoon. It's amazing and he is learning so much. For his program, his class sang three songs in Spanish. And, Abe is doing excellent in school. We are so very proud of him. We loved hearing his name called so many times, not just for academics, but for his behavior.

Jack and Luke absolutely loved buying pumpkins for the season. They loved picking out ones that were there size and every day we went outside they would say "hi" to their pumpkins! We also finally started painting with them. I was super nervous, but they did great and they love to paint!! So fun to watch their exciting faces as the paint went on the paper. 

This year instead of making all three have a theme costume, we decided Abram was old enough to pick his own. He of course went with Lego Batman and the boys were trains. They love "choo-choos" these days. They weren't thrilled to wear their costumes but as soon as Abram told them they couldn't get candy unless they had their costume on, they quickly cooperated!

We found a super fun pumpkin patch and corn maze to take the boys to one weekend. They loved it! There was so much to do! Swings, a corn pit, tons of activities to do with Papa and of course they loved picking out their special pumpkin. When Abe saw the white ones he said, "I've just got to go home with a white pumpkin." Too funny!

I love Jack's hands in his lap!

My favorite picture from the fall!

Abram also had a Thanksgiving feast at his school where the boys and I joined him for lunch. He was so happy to have us there! I felt like he was such a big kid.

His turkey picture he draw at the table.

And finally, our Thanksgiving! Our grandma was here to celebrate with us. Chris' had an emergency at work so he wasn't able to be home a lot but we managed to have our feast when he came home that night.  Because of the emergency, we realized how very much we have to be thankful for.
