Well it seems fall is here! It is amazing how quick it came in. We just had a great visit wth Uncle Cale. It rained the whole time he was here. He got to see Carter in all his fine forms :) Carter really enjoyed having him here and Cale was a hit with Kinley. We didn't want him to go as he was our baby whisperer. Kinley enjoyed lots of cuddles.
Carter is loving gymnastics. He is getting really good at jumping on the trampoline. He is gaining more control each week. He still doesn't have any fear and will try most anything. He still seems to be the only one willing to jump from high heights on his own. I keep telling myself that independence is a good thing :) We went to go to the pool last night with friends, but when we got there it was shut down because someone had gotten sick in the pool. We are glad we weren't there for that. We ended up going to the park instead. Carter did really well. He is being much more careful around the other children. I think he is becoming more aware that they are around. I think next week we are going to attempt going to strong start. It is a program for children walking to 5. It is similar to preschool, just with parents there. There is a program just up the street from us, so I don't really have an excuse not to go! It is nice to have things to do inside when winter gets here. We don't get a lot of snow but we do get our share of rain. We still try and get outside when it is raining. It doesn't usually rain ALL day so most days we can still get out.
Kinley smiled for me yesterday!!!! I was playing peek-a-boo with her and she smiled back at me. I tried to recreate it when Jaice got home so we could get some pictures.....but she wouldn't do it. Jaice thinks I am making it up. I am sure she will smile again soon. We will keep trying for pictures. She had a few rough nights of sleep but I think she was growing. She seems to be getting back into a schedule. Lately she has been in bed by 10.
October is going to be a busy month for us. Kinley is getting her 2 month shots. After that we will attempt the pool with her and Carter. We are going to the pumpkin patch again. We are really looking forward to that! I haven't decided if we are going to go before or after Thanksgiving. There is also Thanksgiving! Mmmm pumpkin pie! We get to end the month with Halloween! We think Carter will be a pirate, but we haven't decided on what Kinley is going to be yet. We will get lots of pictures of everything.
Jaice informed me this morning that there is less then 3 months until Christmas! Yikes! We are very excited to hopefully have both our families here over the holidays. We think Carter might be more into it this year. He has been talking about Santa. There is a lot to do around town in December. I can't believe I am thinking about Christmas already....don't worry our tree won't be up until December 1st :) Jaice is looking forward to starting volleyball again in October.
We hope everyone is having a great fall. We miss everyone lots. There will be more pictures soon!

Yeah! Pirate for Halloween! Go Carter!! Personally, I'm going as the Mad Hatter.... or the Hulk.... I haven't decided which quite yet... Do you think it would be too cold to paint myself green?
