Eve has turned out to be a tremendous help to me. She has a steady hand and can hold the baby when I need a minute "hands free."
All the kids adore Christian and he gets lots of kisses to prove it!
Here is my handsome holding our baby.
Matt's Mother left Saturday, September 29th (her birthday). We had crepes, fruit, sausage, juice etc. for breakfast to celebrate before she flew home. The crepes were delicious if I may say so, especially as my first attempt. She came back the following Wednesday with Matt's Dad. Life is always more fun with Grandpa and Grandma!
Matt's dad (Bart) has a talent for creating games that thrill the kids. He uses simple items such as rope and a ball or only their imagination.
Wendy continued to be a great help to me and was a great friend to Sheri during the day!
We especially enjoyed listening to General Conference as a family. It was a lovely long weekend since the kids didn't have school Thurday or Friday. Thank goodness for Grandparents!
Just a quick insert here: Sheri and I share learning time each day after lunch. It is nice to have one on one time with her, and to also enjoy reading together.
Also, during Matt's paternity time off he built a few walls in the basement to separate our play area and our storage area. He also built shelves for organizing our totes. Pictures to come. I LOVE my handy man and I love to be more organized!
Grandpa and Grandpa stayed through October 8th. On Friday, Oct 12th the Owens came to visit for the weekend. It is always nice to be with friends! We spent most of our time relaxing. The guys went and watched a playoff game Friday night. I made apple crisp. I love autumn baking!
Here are Christian and Kristen chillin' on the couch.
Here is cute Courtney with Christian.
Kristen made some delicious "pillows" for breakfast on Saturday (think sopapillas or scones.) It was fun to try them with honey butter, homemade jam, powdered sugar, or cinnamon sugar. She also brought homemade applesauce. Yes, I was spoiled! We enjoyed card games of course. This time it was the girls' turn to show the guys how it's done! :) The Owens enjoyed church with us Sunday and then headed back to Illinois. What dedicated friends to come so far for the weekend!
Monday was back to the routine, except . . .oh packing for our trip to Denver. My niece got married on October 20th so we geared up and left Tuesday (Oct 16th) after school. Things stay interesting and busy! More about our trip to Denver in the next post.
Here are a couple more photos of bathing the baby. I guess I can't get enough!

AHHH! So much in one post I'm not sure what to comment on first. : )
Firstly, seeing the pics of Eve and Sheri standing side by side just brought me back to us as kids getting our picture taken together. Eve sure has beautiful bone structure don't you think? Sheri looks so pretty in the pic with Bart and the one below it with the pigtails. Cutie!!! Christian is looking less red and more awake! Cutie! Looks a lot like Matt/Sheri. SO nice of Kristin to come out to visit you!
