Fall Family Time
















Happy 59th Birthday Dad (Even though we all think you still look 29!)! We cannot wait to come and see you this evening! I am sure that Henry will want to listen to the Beatles again!

I do want to apologize for not updating this sooner, but I keep thinking that one of these days I will get some time to upload some photos on here! For now, you can go to http://capturetimephotography.zenfolio.com/morgan and the put in the password Morgan to see our fall photos. The photographer Amy is planning to upload our outdoor photos soon, but I may try to attach a few of the pics she has sent me so far, because the outdoor ones look adorable! i cannot wait to see the rest!
Well for halloween Henry was a bumble bee and olivia was a ballerina! They both looked adorable! Olivia just loved to play with her tutu and henry was just excited to get a bunch of candy! On Halloween night we went to see Great-Grandpa McNamara, and Donna happened to be there as well as Bern and Jerome so Henry was happy as can be!

Henry has been going to preschool now twice a week at Aldrich Nursery School in Rochester and is LOVING it! it is only for a couple of hours but it is some good social interaction for him and everyday he makes me more beautiful artwork! I just LOVE it! I am getting a bit sick of driving to Rochester and we will have to see how it goes once it starts snowing out! It might be a bit much, but we will see! In February he is able to start going to the ZM preschool, so we might just switch to there at that time! But Olivia and I have been having some great shopping excursions while Henry is at school and I love having that time with just my sweet little Olivia!
She is Scooting/crawling everywhere now...she can climb up the step in our living room in no time and she is getting better and going down too (without falling)!!! She is also pulling herself up onto everything to stand and play and is starting to walk a bit more while hanging onto something...usually she is trying to walk and catch up to Henry or get whatever he is playing with! Now Henry is starting to get tired of that and the poor boy gets so frustrated with her, because she gets into EVERYTHING! Olivia is waving a little bit now, but I am really trying hard to get her to talk, but thus far no words...stubborn little girl...Henry was fluent in mama and dada at this age! Oh well....I might just need to have a little patience! She also has two bottom teeth in and is working on another! She is just adorable! She is so good-natured and sleeps so fabulously! Oh, and she is starting to refuse baby food, as she prefers real food (hamburger, gf pasta, rice chex, etc)!!!!
Henry is still being a great big brother...most of the time! He is starting to act more like a 2 year old now though...he whines and throws little tantrums about everything...it is so annoying! He still loves to read, read, read, read and sing, sing, sing, sing! I feel like that is all we do! Scott and I are so tired of reading and singing kids songs! But he does love singing Joey by sugarland and big green tractor, as well as the fire truck song, three blind mice, and BINGO! He also loves to spell his name and the few other words he knows how to spell and practice writing, even though he just makes lines!

Well I better get back to work! Hope you all have a nice day ~Katie
