Ryan just left.  He has another away rotation for the month of November.  Bummer.  He is planning on making the five hour drive home every weekend.  Someone has to play the organ at church.  So, it shouldn't be so bad.  

The past month or so has been busy.  Hard to remember everything that made it feel busy but, it seemed like I was always doing something.  Kaitlynn is totally rocking first grade.  She loves reading and math. She is constantly making up math problems for me to solve.  I admit that sometimes they have been pretty hard for my frazzled mind to handle! Jack does a mini play/preschool group and preforms much better when it is not held out his house!  He loves Hannah more than anyone.  Olivia is enjoys testing the boundaries.  She is a real sweet heart though.  Hannah is absolutely beautiful!  Hard to believe she is already three months old, and at the same time hard to believe she has only been in our family for three months.

Most of the time Hannah just hangs out in the sling.  We are both happier that way.  I can still accomplish things durning the day but I still get to hold her.  I love being able to have her close always.

This was a proud moment for Ryan.  He saw Jack lying on the couch with nintendo controllers in hand.

Playing lego Batman! 

We have our regular trips to the library.

This was a really fun night, unfortunantly this is the only picture I have to document it!  We went to the drive in!  It brought back so many memories.  I think the last time we went to a drive in Ryan and I were dating.  The kids thought it was the coolest.  We took the back seat out and the kids sat in the back of the van filled with blankets and sleeping bags.  It was a refreshing experience to go out to a movie and not being paranoid about every sound the kids made. So so fun!

The community did some night on safety education.  Ryan had to work but I went with the kids since there was free dinner and I liked the thought of not making anything!  This police officer comes down to our neighborhood sometimes to hang out with the kids.  He is really fun.  He will get out his radar gun and let the kids see how fast they can run. 

This is the kids in the hospital helicopter, with creepy camera flash eyes.

One evening while I was making dinner, Hannah was crying.  Then all the sudden she stopped.  When I went to see why this is what I saw. Such a tender thing.   Kaitlynn it turns out is a great babysitter!  Pleas ignore all the clothes in the background.  I friend gave me all her old stuff for me to look through.

This cracked me up when I looked in the mirror and noticed that she had fallen asleep in that position.

What? you want to see somethign adorable?  Here is Hannah for your viewing pleasure.

This girl came home from school the other day missing something.

She lost it while her teacher was reading a book to the class.

He wanted his picture taken.  He just didn't want to hold still for it.

Same with this funny girl.
