Fall catch-up

Well now that Christmas is around the corner, I have a lot of catch up to do since August!
Fall was beautiful this year so we had lots of chance for outdoor fall outings. I won't get to post everything, but wanted to highlight a few pictures.
Next post will highlight Halloween!

Cassidy is growing so fast and is such a fun addition to our family. Taylor loves being a big sister and is so great at making Cassie smile. They are so sweet together.

Here are some fun random moments:

This is one of my favorites of the girls. I love Cassie's sly grin and Taylor's adoring gaze. They really have a strong bond already.


This was the day of Cassidy's first UT football game! Unfortunately, her first season as a UT football fan was beyond dismal. Oh well, there will be many more to come!

The girls and I visiting with Great Grandma Kneeskern in mid-October.

Cassie striking a post at great-grandma's. I can't get enough of those chunky little legs!!!

A fun family Friday afternoon at the corn maze. The pit of corn seed was worth every penny of admission:

Even Cassie enjoyed it!

Taylor's First Sleepover!
Another first in our family. Taylor's first sleepover.
Honestly, we didn't have high expectations for how this would go. Her best friend Olivia came over and we expected to have to call Gal and Marni late in the evening. Boy were we wrong! The night went great!
The girls cuddling with Al on the couch (notice the monkey pajamas on both of them):

Getting ready for bed with mommy's old Strawberry Shortcake sleeping bag:

Olivia reading a story to Cassidy:

The night was a success! They went to bed well (Olivia in the bed and Taylor in a sleeping bag) and I think they slept ok. I'm pretty sure they were awake a lot of the night, but they were quiet!
The next morning, Taylor and I joined Olivia, Marni, Gal and baby Gabe at the fair. Taylor had gone with us the prior weekend and LOVED it. What's not to love? Footlong corn dogs, all-you-can-drink chocolate milk, strawberry smoothies and rides!
The girls had a blast going on more rides together.
Here they are downing their respective chocolate milk cups:
One of many shots of them on the rides:

On an airplane:

It was another fun day at the fair while Al and Cassidy had some much needed daddy/daughter bonding time.
Stay tuned for Halloween pics soon!
