A month gone already???

This month has gone by so fast! We have been super busy lately and I have neglected our blog, so before all the pictures of the babies... a brief update of this crazy month. Mark's mom, Sheri, came to visit at the beginning of October, then Mark's dad and his wife, Suzie, came two weeks later. The day they showed up we received a great offer on our house here, so we sold our home (well kinda, closing is not until Nov 7th) So, every night once the babies are in bed Mark and I pack and pack and pack. Our house looks so bare with all the decorations gone, but I am liking the look because it means AZ is just around the corner. My mom will be coming out next week to help finish up the packing and then we will fly back to AZ with the babies Nov 8th leaving Mark behind. Mark will drive out for Thanksgiving, but it will be a long two weeks without him. So, that is what has been going on over here... below are just pictures of the babies from the past month. (I don't know why they are so big, I chose medium size like always... sorry)

Tatum waiting to get in the car for our nature walk

Linkin waiting patiently too

Mark left a pack of Ritz crackers on the couch and this is what happened to them

Wanting to play outside in the rain

Please mom... I think she really wants to go outside, what do you think?

We went to a Pumpkin Patch while Mark's dad and Suzie were here

Linkin wasn't sure if he liked the feel of grass on his feet

This pumpkin was almost bigger than Tatum

I thought this picture was cute. Linkin gets this face when he gets excited and flexes his body... you can see all his teeth!

Another year older.... wiser too?

For those of you who don't know, Mark's and my birthday are a day apart. His is today and mine was yesterday. So, we get to have a couple of fun days. I will admit that it is completely different with two nine month olds. Before, we would just hop in the car and go to dinner and be back whenever. Yesterday I got to choose where we were to go... which means pick a restaurant that if the babies are loud it won't bother anyone and where service is pretty quick to make sure we get home for baths and bedtime. So, we went to this restaurant called "Love and War". It is super yummy! Mark would rather have a meal at home than wrestle with the kids so he wants me to make stuffed shells. Another yummy meal. So....

Happy Birthday to the love of my life!

Mark wanted Funfetti Cupcakes, which I made into a cake

Mark made me an ice cream/brownie cake.

It was excellent!
