4 months old!

First, the girls have been doing a great job with their daily responsibility charts this past week.  So proud of you girls!

 Violet is 4 months old today!

 She sure is loved.

 Finally, we got a new woven wrap for Violet in the mail today.  An early birthday present for Mommy and Violet!

Relaxation

Sweet Louie, 9 weeks old.  All tired out from playing.  Our dog trainer reports that he's been sleeping 10 hours per night in his crate.  Good boy!

Speaking of relaxed...

...but check out those biceps!

 We have some crafty Halloween flair around here.

 Nobody loves Violet more than Haley.

 Finally, after school games.

 Doesn't get any better than this!

Sunday

Mommy/Violet selfie:

Baker's Square brunch with Grandpa Allen:

 Go, Stephie, go!

 Haley too.

 The best part of Mommy's walk: a tiny baby arm escaping out the side.  XOXO

Hodge podge

Watching videos with Grandma Julie:

 Stephie got herself ready for picture day.

 Happy baby!  Violet gives open-mouthed kisses.

 Poppie and his buddy.

 Finally, visiting a reenactment farm.  This was an old piano/organ from the 1800's.

 Hmmm...sounds the same!

Edwards Apple Orchard

It was a beautiful day to go apple picking!

 First stop: apple donuts.

 The girls fed the goats.

 And had a pony ride.  This is "Fancy Boy."

 And "Cranberry."

 Picking honey crisp apples...the best!

 Who's the turkey?

 Last stops: visiting the baby animals in the barn...

 ...and a wagon ride.  A great day!

Bear the buddy

Hmmm, Haley.  Creative way to eat your lunch.

 Meet Violet's newest friend, Pink Bear.

 Kiss!
