Fall Events and News

We have lots to report. I know I have been terrible about posting pictures and news, but the start of the school year has proved to be busy. Once Matt's football season starts in August, I get very little time on the computer. Matt is having a great football season. They are currently 5-1 and they are beginning the post season this weekend in a cross over game against Bishop Grimes at home.

We've had a very exciting fall which started off with some very exciting news: Madden is going to be a big sister! We are expecting the new baby in April and are very excited about expanding our family.


I have posted a ton of pictures of Madden. I'll try to explain each as they come. There are some pictures from a Zoo trip in August that Mom and I took Elyse and Madden on, some Apple picking pictures and some pictures from "Old McDonald's Farm."

Is she a goof ball or what? She loves "nax." (fruit snacks)




Doesn't Hadley look thrilled?

More apple picking pics. This time a kiss from Elyse.








Madden LOVES pumpkins!



Christian likes pumpkins, too. But he insists that they are yellow. He'll fight you to the death over the color of any object. It's always "yellow."

















"What are these and can we take one home?"




So, Madden has had 2 colds already this fall. She is all about treating Dora for her colds. She is obsessed with wiping noses and "blowing" her nose. I caught her with the Saline and buger sucker the other day treating Dora's cold. I'm sure if she had a chance, she'd shove them up my nose for pay back!










We went to Old McDonald's Farm this weekend with all the Soluri Grand kids. This is one of the cows we got to feed. He was Ginormous. Madden wasn't super impressed.

Madden chasing the ducks. She was giggling the whole time, until they all got up and flew which was very loud.
