Where did October go????
I just realized that I have missed the whole month of October. Not that there was nothing going on, I just haven't had the ambition to sit down and blog. October was a lot like a roller coaster ride. We had lots ups and lots of downs! Geez...the ups were great! We had lots of family time! Pumpkin roll, Lewis Farms (twice), birthdays, a brand new baby being born into the family, and of course Halloween! On the other hand, it was a very emotional month, my uncle having open heart surgery, having to put our beloved dog Tucker to sleep, the threat of illness lurking around every corner, (thankfully we have not been hit), Ryan deciding that he does not want to go to preschool and now cries when I drop him off, and others trying to interfere on how we should be raising our kids! It's been a rough ride, but it's now November and the rest of the year is going to be great! We are going to stay healthy, Ryan is going to get over this hurdle of suddenly being so attached to me, and we are going to continue to do what is best for "OUR" family!

Ryan's first day of Preschool
oh yes, I am behind! Very far behind! Will I ever catch up, probably not, so we will just start with Ryan's first day of preschool and go from there! Ryan was very excited to start school. He was very excited that Mrs. Simon was going to be his teacher again! I thought this is too easy! He is doing great! We are going to do great! I even told Mike, you don't have to take the day off, he is going to be fine. Well, Mike took the day off anyways, and thank goodness he did! Ryan cried, I cried, and it was awful! I guess I better just get use to it! I did get a call from his teacher and said the crying did not last at all! He was fine and having a great time. He really does love going to school, we just have to get over the initial part of dropping him off! Last week was worse than the first week, and this week has been better than last week. (if that makes sense) So, I guess it's just baby steps and bribery! Call me crazy, but if it makes it easier on me, I will do anything that little boy wants!! This weeks bribe....Going to the movies! Whatever works!! Anyway, I am so proud of my little boy. He is growing up so fast and I cannot believe it! Where does the time go~ Love you Ryan, you make me so PROUD!!

Madison's Birthday Party!
I think all Madison's birthday celebrations have finally came to an end. We ended the celebration on Saturday with her birthday party! She had a great turn out and got lots of great gifts! Her big surprise from Mom and Dad was a horse. No, not to keep, but to have at the party to ride. She was so excited to see the horse. She just loved her. The horses' name was Jasmine, and Madison reminded everyone what her name was. She still talks about how Jasmine came to her party. Madison loved to pet the horse and even Aunt Hilary showed her how she could feed her apples. She loved doing this. She sat on Jasmine, but as soon as Jasmine started to walk, she freaked. She cried and wanted down. She did not like the fact that she moved I guess. All the other kids LOVED riding the horse. It was so great to see so many kids enjoy Jasmine...in my opinion...Money well spent!!
She really loved this horse, but just didn't want to ride her!
One of my favorite pictures!
Another Favorite!!
All Madison's friends riding Jasmine!!
Yup, even Uncle Mike had to take his turn!
