Thanksgiving

Emma and Ben on Thanksgiving

Emma having Lefse (pronounced lefsa) for the first time.
It's a Norwegian bread my family makes every year for
Thanksgiving and Christmas

Being cuddle bugs...

New Tutu

This has been on my list to do for a long time and I finally got it done! I wanted to make Emma her own little tutu. It was so easy to make and once I put it on her, she was immediately giddy with excitement. She is growing up so fast.

Planting a garden

We have been wanting to plant a garden for a long time, so we started with a green bean plant. Figured we would start small and work ourselves up to a bigger garden later. The kids loved helping and Emma loved flinging dirt everwhere! We had such a blast.

Girl fun!

Emma, being her goofy self! We are seeing more and more of her personality these days. She is a spitfire and a sweetheart all wrapped in one! She loves the camera (just like her brother!). You pull a camera out and they're posing before you even turn it on!!

9/11

I don't have too many pictures from this particular weekend, but we spent 9/11 down in San Diego and went to the tidepools and really enjoyed the day together.

Mo caught a crab - the kids thought it was awesome!

We observed him for a while and then put him back in his home.

Broken Foot {insert sad face here}

Ben's cast! He's in that thing for a total of 4 weeks!! For those
that don't know, Ben broke his foot August 27th -- 3 metatarsals
in 4 places! I still can't believe he broke it.

He's doing great {already running around
in that thing!} He has barely complained about any pain and the
pediatric orthopedic surgeon says he is healing beautifully. {yay!}
