Fall Gratitude

Sorry, for the photo overload! I snatched some shots of Charlie's personality in these and couldn't limit them to just one or two!

Charlie loves trying to be a big kid at the playground. He is still growing way too fast. We are all done with nursing. No bottles, pacifiers, nada! As a mom I feel like life is slowly getting less chaotic.


I just love that little face! This lady rolled down her car window in the parking lot at the store the other day and said, "he's so cute, you are soooo lucky!" She's right! I need to remember that more.





Since starting first grade, Noah has been coming home with homework. I overheard a parent at Back to School boasting of his child's love for homework. For Noah it's not so much the dislike of homework, but it's the dislike of getting away from other things he'd rather be doing. He works hard, though and I am so proud:). We have a totally new schedule in our house and it has been awesome. There is a set time for homework, chores, dinner, etc and life with three kids has never been better! Why didn't we think of this sooner??

Love all your GORGEOUS pictures. All your kiddos are beautiful. Love all these recent shots of Charlie though. No pacifier, even?? Oh man, Lydia still has hers and I don't know what to do. I'm afraid of her! (and you know I'm not afraid of many people). Do you do homework every night then? Will has a packet of homework due each Friday and we usually put it off til Thurs night! Takes about 30 mins.
