We're back!

Hello everyone!

Kevin left for Saudi Arabia yesterday on a rainy dreary morning. We had such a wonderful time having him home. It was a true stay-cation. I abandoned all cleaning/household responsibilities and we just hung out, had fun, and soaked up each other's company. It was a very short three weeks.

We didn't do a whole lot. Just visited the zoo, went out to eat, visited Birmingham, went apple picking, went to the park and splash pad, and I got to nap and sleep in. Like I said, vacation all the way.  I don't have many photos of his visit, but here are a few.

We couldn't have a daddy visit without a ride on the sled. We're getting pretty good at this redneck sledding. Even Eden got in on the mush-ing action.



The girls lived on afternoon popsicles. Eden insisted on "lotsa popsicle please."



Winnie went "swimming" in the sandbox.



Notice her outfit in the above photo. See those underwear? Those are Eden's. They are Winnie's new favorite accessory.

Eden showed off her awesome drawing skills.



Winnie showed off her amazing climbing abilities.



And of course, more sledding.







Eden learned the joys the feeding Winnie. (Score one for me! No more supervising yogurt eating.)



We also went pickle apping. What, you say? I mean apple picking. I was just repeating what Eden calls it.







I got to test out another sewing pattern and made Winnie a dress.



And finally we had one last Skarda/Pfeil/Lawracy game night. This was the last time we would all be together before Kevin left since the Skardas are moving to Omaha in January and the Pfeils are leaving town at some unknown point. (They're undercover CIA operatives -- ya never know when they'll disappear.) (Kidding.)



So that was our life in September. Hopefully in October we'll find out where we will move to next. Everybody cross your fingers for Germany!!
