two of kenny's three brothers came to visit last week. a year ago, the whole family was here. this is hannah, the boys' cousin born a few weeks after adam, with adam last year:
 

and here is hannah and adam last week. they wouldn't sit still for a pose...this is the best i could do. they're very busy one-year-olds!
 

here is sawyer and his birthday cake earlier in september. he seems to think the "birthday" is the "cake." so when i was telling him earlier today that we celebrate jesus' birthday at christmas, he said, "is santa going to be on it?" to which i replied, "pardon me?" and he answered, "is santa on jesus' birthday?" i then reazlized he was referring to how jesus would decorate his own birthday cake: with santa, of course! it is christmas afterall! (wow...amazing what a three-year-old picks up even in our advent-observing, epicopalian-traditional holidays!).
 

remember how giddy i was over my $6.00 sewing machine? isn't she gorgeous?


fall is definitely upon us. the front of our lawn is covered in oak leaves, the back in maple leaves. we're all sniffling and the boys are going to bed EARLY again! and the calendar actually says october. i can't believe it's october...wasn't it just june?

I love seeing pics SO MUCH!!! Haven't gotten back to our journals, but I have the exact same feeling re: fall this year.

How can it be October?!?!?!

Hannah is a beautiful little girl and, of course, Adam is quite the handsome little boy!

very cute pics! It is hard to believe the summer is already gone! Would you mind emailing me the cake recipe? It looks DELICIOUS and I have a spongy cake form pan thing that I haven't gotten to use yet and would be perfect for that kind of cake. Plus I am a chocoholic! Tues. group misses you guys! Glad to see everyone smiling :)

Looks like Liz has to post the recipe for Sawyer's cake... I'm hungry now! :-)

Liz - re: Oak leaves... since your leaves are falling, did you get loads of acorns a few weeks ago? Out lot is 1.4 acres of Oaks and you can't walk on the lawn at all - it is actually a dark brown (or is it green) from all the acorns! If so what do you do with them, or how do you get them off the lawn?

that cake was kind of made up ont he fly - it's a chcolate cake mix with pudding and chocolate chips. and the frosting? melted chocolate chips with snow caps and candy corn. nothing to it: and LOADS of sugar. but a birthday is only once a year, and the kids forget about the cake after their piece on the big day, so kenny and i get to finish it. :)
brent, yes...acrons EVERYWHERE. two out of five of us have tripped/slid on them. they've covered our driveway and front lawn and walking barefoot is now out of the question. why don't i remember this from last fall???

Ugh, acorns here, too. We're surrounded by mature oaks, and our little lot fills up with them so quickly.

Bee-yoo-tee-full sewing machine! Does it work?

no, sadly it doesn't work, serina. but kenny is determined to try this winter to make it work! i just couldn't resist purchasing it - it's gorgeous!
