the holidays are coming!

a few weekends ago my whole family went to minges farm in harrison, OH to kick off the holiday seasons. the forecast said high 50’s

and windy, so we prepared for fall weather when actually it was a beautiful HOT day. so we were overdressed and sweaty. and i have a

big pregnant belly, sooo i was cranky and uncomfortable. oh and there was about 10, 435 people there.  it would have probably been a

lot more fun if those variables were all different. but then again adam swore he will never go back either. lol.

aunt erin and her whole family was there too so we got to see paxton for a little bit.

ella actually took this picture of nanaw. the camera was sitting there on its side. she just starting pressing the shutter and this

happened! i kinda love it.

it’s impossible for poppi to hold one kid at a time. at least one other granddaughter is always jealous and demands his open arm.  he was

running around bouncing them all over which obviously resulted in an insane amount of giggles.

olivia started walking within the last couple weeks which means the damage they do when together, just doubled. rut roh.

where there are funnel cakes, there will be our family. it was my bright idea to sit on this hay…in the direct wind path. d’oh. the picture

really doesn’t do it justice, we were covered in powdered sugar. notice poppi’s hand stealing off my plate when i’m not lookin’!!

he can’t resist…ever.

we are very excited for halloween, because us tracy’s love to dress up. 🙂 nori’s costume is homemade (by my friend)

and ridiculously cute. i can’t wait to show her off.

ali just finished her 3rd round of chemo wednesday but had to stay in all day in order to received blood,

magnesium, etc.  apparently her system was WIPED out! but she’s home and hopefully well enough to attend the nursing

home trick or treating this weekend, pumpkin carving, halloween at the library and halloween night! fun! fun!!!
