It's October but Summer weather!

These last few weeks are too good to be true! We have been trying to enjoy the nice weather as we "Mid-Westerners" know will come to an end very shortly. I was upset that we were not able to get down to Al's Run/Walk this year as with work and everything else being so crazy! But, we had a great weekend anyway!

Saturday, Paul and I had a much needed Date Night-well, we were both working but we were together! Spend the day at our friend Glenda's putting in a patio door and window. Then we sat around by the fire and had a few drinks! It has been a while since we could go out all day and not need to worry about the kids!

Sunday is normally our "cutting wood" day to maintain our storage for the winter. However, we all went to breakfast and then headed up to Cameron for their huge Pumpkin patch. To those who have not been there, let me elaborate...Pumpkin cannon, bounce house, petting zoo and of course the corn maze and fresh caramel apples! There is a boat that is lifted up by straw bales that has tunnels running under it, this, and the petting zoo was by far both of the kids' favorite!

Monday was Lilly's first Nutritionist appointment with Tracy. The appointment was good overall and Lilly was actual up to 15.5 lbs (7.05 kg). We are adding butter to everything and Tracy is actually wanting us to feed her ice cream and peanut butter as much as possible. She gave us a list of some high calorie foods and some recipes to try. We are now adding 60-75 ccs (going up another 5 ccs bi-weekly) pediasure to her morning and bedtime meds. So far I can tell that her little cheeks are starting to pump up again! Maybe we will finally get out of size 2 diapers!
Thank you for checking up with our little family and I hope that everyone enjoys the rest of the fall season!
