Daddy's Home!

Daddy has been gone for a week, so he wasn't able to update the blog. We missed him very much. He was in Chicago for a business trip and brought back "Marie" from Aristocats (one of Addilyn's favorite characters)!

First tailgating experience!


Go Hawks! Daddy, Papa, and Grandma Shari went to the Hawks game last week vs. Arkansas State. We tailgated in the COLD weather! We ate breakfast burritos and ham...mmmmm...! Best of all, the Hawks WON!



Hawks kick a field goal. You can see the ball trying to be blocked in the air by Arkansas State (white). Addilyn had a GREAT seat in the front row!!!

Yay! Hawks!
Being silly.
Hi Daddy!
Football star.
Throw me the ball! I'm a wide receiver!
Quarterback.
Whoa!

Leaves are falling! Time to clean up the yard.


Brrr... Our first taste of cool fall weather! The fireplaces are on in the house and hot cider is delicious on these cold nights. We put Addilyn to work raking and sweeping this evening. We didn't forget to play and have some fun!


Leaves!


Raking the leaves into a pile


Sweeping the leaves into a pile


Whoa! Falling leaves! (Daddy had nothing to do with this!)


WHOA!!!! It's an avalanche of leaves!!!


Wow - leaves are great!


Time to swing!


Getting dark. Better take a bath.


But first, let's string some Halloween lights on the back porch!

Reading?

Addilyn is pretending to read in this video. We were reading a book that daddy read when he was a little kid called "Little Bunny Follows His Nose." Addilyn loves books about bunnies right now. She also likes "Pat the Bunny. Let's Find Bunny." It won't be long and she'll be able to read on her own!

Apple Orchard

Daddy, mommy, Grandma Judy, and Pop-pop Bruce went to Wilson's Orchard in Iowa City today. It has been 1 year since we went to the apple orchard. Reflecting on one year ago, Addilyn is now walking, talking, eating apples, singing, and running through the orchard. This picture makes me realize how time flies and how much we need to take time to enjoy every moment, every second, and every memory.



One year ago (left) and today (right)




Apples!

Here, Grandma! Want a bite?

Sitting in the orchard

Found a sour one!

Is this one sour, too?

This is fun!
