"Mom do cashews have shoes in them?"......Thomas James

Brynnley's FAVORITE book. I have to post it while it is in one piece. This book certainly brings you joy! I love it when you bring it to me 50 times a day and squeal and smile as if it is the first time you've read it every time we open it up to read it to you. If the book is in your sight you say..book....book...and we read it to you over and over again! You would much rather read a book than watch TV. You are much too busy exploring to watch TV. Inside this book you love hearing about the animals and the sounds they make. Dad does some pretty good sounds but Moms are more realistic! Brynn's words this week are "snack" and "chocolate"......your Dad must have been eating it often this week for you to be saying it so much.

Avery was busy this week building a house. She and her friend Morgan created this beauty. You were pretty proud Aves.

This weekend was great. Went to apple fest in Lebanon(right next to us) and spent most of the day there. I must say my favorite part besides being with my family was finding the most amazing cupcake shop. I love it that my partner in crime loves it too. The kids got to adorable pumpkin ones and Eric and I split a turtle, apple butter, and chocolate truffle. Mmmmmmmmmm! Best cupcakes we've had. We both agreed they were better than the ones we had in San Diegos when we were there last Spring. We did get some healthy stuff too like our favorite Honey crisp apples. It was a beautiful day to top it off. I didn't get many Spring days this Spring, so I am enjoying them in September! I am hoping we can get to the apple orchards next weekend.
