Daily life

Well, I think that we are settled into a pattern, it doesn't make us any less tired but... at least we know what to expect. Marcus did give us a little scare with some stomach problems on Tuesday and had to go back to the the doctor. They changed his milk and he is fine now, but they weighed him again, last Fri he was 7lbs 15oz and Tuesday he was 8lbs 6oz!
(And no, they have not started sleeping longer at night, but we love them anyway.)

Here are some highlights from the week.

Marcus and Addy passed out when they should be doing tummy time.

The amazing big sister!
Addy was crying so Katie held her on her belly and Addy calmed down right away.

This weekend was filled with some fun fall activities for Katie. While none of these are a first for her, this is the first time she will actually be able to remember having done it, or at least be able to talk about it for the next few months.

Thursday

Katie and I went outside and raked the backyard and played in the leaves. Katie made a bed for us to sleep in and even made some covers so we were toasty warm.

Saturday

During the day Katie went with Mark to the Zooboo at the Pittsburgh Zoo, the zoo is less than a mile from our house. She dressed up and got to trick-or-treat with the animals. We are not posting pictures of her awesome costume because we don't want to ruin the surprise of the big day coming up on Friday.

In the evening some of our law school friends came over and we had our annual pumpkin carving party. Katie got to stay up a little later and was in heaven helping everyone with all the sticky pumpkin guts.

The final result!

Sunday
Marcus and Addison's first Sunday at church. Luckily we don't have church until 1 pm so I had all day to get everything together. We actaully made it on time and everyone, including Katie, were angels for the first meeting. Wow, I can't believe we have three kids!

We didn't get to take pictures until after church, I promise Mark doesn't wear t-shirts to church

(Ok so church wasn't a memorable fall activity for Katie but she did hear music coming "out of the sky" when she left sacrement meeting to use the bathroom and learned what a speaker was. She hasn't stopped pointing them out since. )
