We Miss Daddy

Ellie was having a fun time with Daddy. Ben left today to take the teens/grade schoolers to Minnesota to let them tour the teaching/pastoral college. He'll be home on Saturday night we miss him very much. Mom and I took Ellie trick or treating at the City Center downtown tonight. There will be pictures updated tomorrow.

Silly Girl

I found little Eliana sitting in her basket of play food the other morning. She thinks it's fun to sit in new places, she also likes to sit in her basket of books now too.

Tea Time

Mom got a tea set for Eliana and her. Now the minute mom comes over she says, "tea!..cookie!" Yesterday mom came over and watched Ellie while Ben and I went out ot dinner and Ellie didn't even want to wave to us out the window, she only wanted to play with the tea set.

Grandpa

Grandpa Berger came to visit after his Dr. appt and stayed to have supper with us.

Fall Days

With the weather getting colder it's been harder and harder to keep Ellie inside. She stands at the window and looks outside saying "play". I recently signed her up for two classes at the Y to keep her (and me) occupied this fall/winter.

Class Project

Here's Eliana jamming away to Sesame Street in her PJs.

I have been taking a cake decorating class. This is my first class project. A Pooh cake just for Ellie :)

Better

We're doing better, Ellie's cold is better and my back is better. Off to preschool power hour!

Alot of Daddy and Grandma

Ellie's been spending alot of time lately with her dad and grandma. I've really been having trouble with my back. I went to the MD a couple days earlier than scheduled as I've been dealing with this back pain for two weeks. He thinks I have a nerve that's being pinched and gave me prednisone and some pain meds to help me sleep better. I'm praying this works, this is supposed to be the time when I'm feeling the best :(

Jacob's Baptism

Although Jacob was baptized at the hospital by Ben, he had his baptism reaffirmed on Sunday. Here are some pictures from after the service.

The Godparents.

Pumpkin Patch

After Eliana's nap today I took her to a local pumpkin patch. We took a tractor ride on some hay bales out to the pumpkin patch and we each picked one big pumpkin, one little pumpkin, a gourd , and two ears of corn. She LOVED it, but was very concerned anytime she'd see a ladybug on me. :)
