Fall Festivities

October was a busy month. We went to Cox Farms, went apple picking, roasted marshmallows and celebrated Halloween. JT had a blast and decided this year that going down the slide on his stomach was more fun at Cox Farms. Jonah went on his first hay ride and celebrated his first Halloween. They don't do any of this in Ethiopia. We had to explain to our friend Mulat in Ethiopia what Halloween is and what we do here. I am sure he thought it was strange that Jonah was dressed up as a turtle. JT and Gavin (and Kevin) figured out that climbing trees is fun and a good way to pick apples. JT who was afraid of fire now realizes that it will cook delicious marshmallows.

   A little update....

JT- loves school, will start swim lessons, yoga and soccer in January. Loves his brother and listening to Kevin read stories in crazy voices. Is learning to like to ride his bike, although he prefers to run.

Jonah- still visiting doctors, is climbing stairs and just started to pull himself up to stand.

Kevin- selling insurance, started going to the gym. (he wants to be buff!)

Erin- has official become a domestic engineer, aka- stay at home mom. Hard to believe I know but will go back to school in the fall. Has enjoyed her mornings with Jonah and is teaching JT the joys of riding a bike.
