falling behind

I am not sure if anyone even checks this blog anymore because I have been so bad about updating it. I keep thinking that I'll get back into it and post more regularly, and then life happens. Coranelle is napping less and less and I just haven't made the time for it. So, to those of you who still occasionally pop over, thank you! And, I'm sorry for not being more regular.

We've already changed the clocks back an hour and fall seems to be a blur. A happy blur, but a blur nonetheless. Ryan has been working a lot of hours so that has left me with a lot of time with the kiddos on my own. We keep hoping that Ball will find someone who can help Ryan out with his workload, but so far, nothing seems too promising. He's just so good at what he does, everyone wants him to work their program! ;) But, truth be told, we are both very thankful that he has a good employer and a good job. We are not blind to the fact that not everyone is so blessed.

 We took a train on the Georgetown Train loop because Sheldon has recently become obsessed with trains. It was a really fun, family day out.

 I did a sprint triathlon with my mom and another friend in September and it was a really fun challenge and experience.

 We discovered a new, wonderful place near Longmont called Sunflower farms. We went 5 weeks in a row to feed animals, ride ziplines and rope swings, play in tree houses, go for pony rides and enjoy the outdoors.

 A trip to the butterfly pavilion to hold Rosie, the tarantula.

 One of our many afternoons playing at local parks.

 Pumpkin time!

 Playing at the infamous park in Georgetown, Co.

 We raked and are still raking loads of leaves. The kids think it's a blast.... I'm over it!

 One of many zoo trips.

 Sunflower farms!

 Anderson farms!

 Sheldon's 2nd favorite thing: his dump truck.

 My pocket sized pirate!

 My spunky little Tinkerbell.

 A visit to the Children' s museum. These two are so cute together- such good buddies!

 Trick-or-treating with her friends.

My little girl- ALWAYS on the go. I can never seem to wear her out! 
This fall has been full of fun activities, leaves, pumpkins, costumes and beautiful Colorado weather.  There have been a lot of really horrendous things in Colorado in the past few months. We are trying hard to focus on the good friends and neighbors and the good memories we are building with our family. I hope fall is treating all of you well. Cheers until next time!
