Fall update

It has been so long since I have posted. We have been so busy!!! I am on my way to Las Vegas and figured this is a good time to write!

So the kids turned 2 in October. They amaze us everyday with new words and things they are doing. Right now they are starting to sing songs. They seem to suddenly know all the words to songs we have been to singing to them over the years. (twinkle twinkle)

We had a small birthday party for them in the new house. The kids are loving all the room! They each now have their own room and adjusted great.

We have done so many things over the past few months. We went to Johnsons's farm and picked pumpkins and went on a hayride. The kids loved picking their own pumpkin!

The kids were a chick (Jack) and a pig (Ellie) for Halloween. They loved their costumes! We went to Sesame Place for Halloween and saw Elmo and all his friends. We also went to the zoo and went trick or treating. Both Jack & Ellie loved all the places . I have actually found it getting easier for me to take them places.

We went trick or treating around the new neighbor and met some more neighbors. We actually went with Charlie, Katie and Steve because they still were without power from Sandy. We also went with our neighbors which was nice.

We go to wood park a lot and play on their jungle gym there. I have realized though that I am afraid for myself when Jack gets to be 5 or so. From going to the park I am able to see how really rough little boys can be. This scares the heck out of me! I guess growing up with all girls you never see this!

We just had breakfast with Santa (I know super early!!) this past Saturday and then sat on Santa's lap at the cherry hill mall. The kids LOVED Santa!!! I am getting so excited for this Christmas because I think the kids will so into it!! It is going to be so much fun!!!

In our new house we have a huge yard!!! Lots and lots of leaves to clean up. Luckily Mike and the kids like the leaves. I think all three could spend all day out there! Jack and Ellie were rolling in the leaves and throwing them everywhere!

Right now Jack and Ellie are with Pop and Granny for a few days while Mike & I are on our way to Vegas to celebrate our 4 year anniversary, Sally turning 30 this year and my mom turning 60. I am hoping to take a lot of pictures in case I can't "remember" everything! Haha. Sadly Katie & Steve are unable to join us! But we will just have to make sure we have enough fun for them!!

Hoping to post soon!!!
