{OCTOBER}

We are loving fall and soaking up all the beautiful days we can before cold weather hits. Halloween was crazy but fun. Parker is a marathon trick-or-treater but always slowed down enough to make sure little Lilly wasn't passed by as treats were handed out. What a sweet big sister.

Lilly is in full throws of the terrible two's... or maybe just feeling like a middle child. My sweet, easy-going child has been much more difficult of late. This is my favorite quote from the past month (maybe even year).... Parker and Lilly are sitting on the patio steps coloring with sidewalk chalk. I have the screen door open so I can hear them. Lilly is in one of her grumpy moods and wants nothing to do with Parker. This is what I hear Parker saying. "Dear God, I bless that Lilly will stop being grumpy and be happier." Lilly quickly interrupts by screaming, "No say that Parker!" But Parker calmly replies," Lilly, do NOT interrupt me when I am talking to God." I chuckled to myself and know this is just the beginning of the love/hate relationship of growing up with a sister. Oh boy!!
