October is Over?!...a month re-visited

Lots has happened this month! I wish I had more time to post more frequently but it seems it isn't going to happen so I'll do what I can.

Caroline and Olivia like going to the mailbox.


Dressed up after church. Love my girls!



We started solids (besides cereal) on the 4th. Carrots were a hit.

We started sitting up...started out shaky but good by the end of the month. Also have 2 bottom teeth now!


Daddy's mini-me....look at the identical eyes and cheeks!


Caroline says Olivia is her best friend.


Olivia rolled over on the 13th. I got this picture right after. She is so proud.


Boundaries! Olivia needs her space.


We went to the pumpkin patch with Jack. They ended up being dressed very similar so everyone thought they were twins. They have so much fun together.




Olivia's first sitting experience on grass. Not too bad, she seems to say. Since Caroline has always called her 'Pumpkin Patch', I had to get her picture in the pumpkins.



Happy Fall!


Caroline wanted a "cumucker" for breakfast.


Rolling never gets old.



Me and the girls went to Birmingham and Florence for a week. It was a great trip....I was just glad to survive all the packing/unpacking of the car 3 times. We were busy every single minute and loved it.

We got to go to Claire's soccer game in Birmingham. Tina and Olivia got some bonding time.

Parker always takes care of his cousin. Here he is leading her to the playground.

We got to go to "Boo at the Zoo" where everyone was in costume trick-or-treating. The carousel was on a black light, going backwards, playing 'Monster Mash'. SOO fun. Caroline didn't love the train ride because she says it was "too scary" but I think she would do it again.


In Florence, Caroline got to see some real Fall...leaves and all!


We went to 4 parks in Florence...all of them wonderful. It was warm but still nice. I got this pic of Dad and Caroline relaxing by the pond, watching the swans and ducks. Very peaceful.



Olivia and Mom watched too:)


Does this child look happily spoiled?! Yes.


Always reading her books. Every few days her reading changes. This week, every page begins with, "in a far away land _____".

We stopped on the way back to see Nancy and Sam one last time before baby Pete arrives. Yea!

Caroline loves to comb hair. Aunt Tina didn't mind. Goody wasn't so sure.


Halloween! Tinkerbell and Butterfly were a sight.


We had fun jumping at a festival in the afternoon. Almost never got her out!


Trick or treat!
