Fall!

Fall is here and we seem busier than ever.  We've babysat Baby Pia, picked out Halloween costumes and went to Aunt Briana & Uncle Brett's work picnic, celebrated GiGi's 85th birthday with family up in Allentown, kicked off the football season and had a fun filled day at a fall festival.  

Lily is staying active, doing both soccer and swimming.  She also loves picking Johnny up and moving him to where she thinks he should be.  Such a good big sister!  Johnny is growing up in a hurry and talking more and more every day.  He loves to say rock, clock and book.  He's also learning his animals and body parts.  It's adorable! 

Lily loved babysitting Pia! 

Mom and Lily had fun picking out Lily's Halloween costume (a good witch!) and spending time with Uncle Brett, Aunt Briana and Pia at their company picnic.

We had fun at GiGi's 85th birthday celebration! 

Are you ready for some football!?

The Pioneer Evergreen Farm.  Johnny loved the ball pit so much!!!

Back to School & Outside Fun

The kids had a great first week in their new classrooms at school! Johnny is loving being with the older kids and gets to see his big sister several times a day now.  Lily loves her new teacher and is learning so many new things. For their first week "back to school", the kids were given a lollipop on the way out.  Johnny, of course, grabbed one as fast as he could and really enjoyed it!

Red lollipop!

 

Loving it!

After we got home on Friday, we played outside in the pools, taking full advantage of the lasting warm weather.  Johnny didn't want to wait for his bathing suit and just jumped right in with his school clothes on.

Little pool fun. 

Jumping and splashing.

Silly girl!

Big pool! Happy little lady!

Johnny want in on the pool! 

Saturday, we were invited to a fun BBQ at Bella's house.  Some of Mom's friends were there with their kids too.  Lily proclaimed it was the "Best day ever" after she saw the water slide in the back yard.  The kids played for hours!  Genius!  They wrapped up the evening with a Barbie and Princess talent show, which consisted of them singing songs and dancing around with the dolls.  Pretty darn cute. 

Backwards down the slide!

Playing with all of the kids!

Mid-song. 

Still going! 

The finale. 

Can't get enough of these baby blues.

Sunday, Dad went off to watch the Steelers game so Mom took Super Lily and Johnny to the playground to burn off some energy.  It was so fun!

Best big sister!!

Giggles all around!

So fun!

Here's to a great week!

Playgrounds and a Pool Party

Labor Day weekend!  We had a great long weekend, enjoying the weather and hanging out with friends.  Friday, the kids and Mom went to visit the Smith Memorial Playground in Philadelphia with friends, Stella and Mabel.  The playground was awesome!  Saturday, the weather was still holding out so we took Lily to what will be her elementary school's playground.  She LOVED it and is so excited for school next year.  Sunday, Uncle Brett, Aunt Briana, Uncle Tony, Baby Pia, Grammy and GiGi came down for a BBQ and to play in the pool.  Baby Pia took her first swim!  The water was chilly but she didn't seem to mind after a few minutes.  It was hot out!
