Fall Already????

Just a quick post to let you know what we've been up to. The kids spent their last couple of weeks at home with dad doing as many fun things as possible. They go back to school (daycare) on Monday. The entire house is a little sad, but we'll deal with it. Last weekend we checked out the Applejack Fall Festival in Nebraska City. It was lots of fun. We got to walk through a really neat nature trail, go to the top of the "Canopy Tree House", and pick apples right in the orchard. Jonathan had his first caramel apple and loved it. The fall weather has been wonderful. So we continue to do as much outside as we can. This afternoon Jonathan helped me make little ghosts for our ghost tree in the front yard for Halloween. He also helped me rake leaves.
Since Halloween is a favorite holiday, we've already got the kid's costumes picked out. Johanna is going to be a leopard and Jonathan is going to be a Storm Trooper. Quite a combination!
Our digital camera is not working right now, so there aren't any recent pictures to post. We've been taking pictures the old fashioned way-with real film. (Gasp) Hopefully we'll have it fixed in time for Halloween. That's all for now.
