Big Girl Bed

This is definitely a "real life" video. But I thought it captured a little bit of the array of her personality- Very grateful and sweet, wild, very concerned about her clothing and a little sassy- Sorry about the stripping :)

Alyssa finally got her big girl bed about a month ago. We kept putting it off because it never seemed like a good time, and I was afraid she wouldn't sleep as good anymore and get out of her bed all the time. She has done great! We told her that she has to stay in her bed and she's been staying in bed! Sometimes she calls for us a few times before she falls asleep, but nothing different than when she was in the crib. She's pretty excited to be a big girl and says that the baby can "borrow" her baby bed. Another little milestone, I can't believe she is almost 3!!

Fall Festivities

We have done a few fun fall things this month. Two different pumpkin patches, a cider mill and all these places have a ton of fun things for kids to do. We did a corn maze, pet lots of animals, went on a hay ride, slid down slides and picked pumpkins. Alyssa also loved pushing the wheel barrow. I'm so glad we made it out even though I wasn't feeling great. We had some beautiful days in Sept. and early Oct. so I'm glad we took advantage. Now it's raining and I won't see much of the sun until we move to CO!

Guess where we're moving?

COLORADO!!!!! Yes, thats right, we got the shocking news yesterday that we should be moving back to C. Springs in early summer. We feel like it's too good to be true and had no idea it was really an option for Nate. We are very excited that this is what God has for our future and that we will be close to our family and friends again! YAY!!!
