Well, October has turned out to be a busy month for us. Craig has been on call a lot, Allison has been busy with school, soccer and swimming, and the rest of us are just along for the ride! Connor, Ella and I have been enjoying going for long jogs around the lake, playing at the playground and just hanging out together. Here is a brief summary of what is going on with each of the kids.

Allison has been busy with school and playdates! She absolutely loves going to school and can hardly wait to get their. She is enjoying the friends she has made at school and has had several play dates with girls in her class. She also enjoyed a fun birthday party at her friend Emma's house where she had a tea party and then this week a birthday party for her friend, Ryan at a farm. Allison has enjoyed playing soccer on Saturday mornings, "Unless it is too cold or too hot". She is good when she wants to be, but needs some encouragement to be aggressive. She has practice on Monday nights and then games on Saturdays. Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights are devoted to swimming. She loves being on the swim team and is becoming quite the swimming. It looks like torture to me, but she LOVES it! I am hoping she sticks with it because she pretty good at it:)

Connor is working on being a big boy. He has been working on being trained for over a month now and it is all about the same. We resorted to using pullups and he goes on the potty about 75% of the time. We are hoping it will get better. He has become quite the talker....meaning he talks NON STOP! He is pretty darn funny! When we arrived at the farm he said, "Wow, this is AMAZING!" He talks super cute.....Soy latte is soy watte, Allison is Alyeah, look is wook, you get it. He is constantly cracking us up.

Ella is off....she is walking all over. She talks a ton, repeating whatever her brother and sister say. Some of her words are mama, dada, con ta (connor), All sa (Allison), diapa (diaper), stinky, doggie, turtle, dinsor (dinosaur), banket (blanket), Elmo...the list goes on. She is showing a bit of a temper when she doesn't get what she wants and she guards everything from Connor! She is still such a sweetie.

So, the crew is doing well and we are gearing up for Halloween! More to come soon. Oh, I almost forgot...we enjoyed watching MSU beat U of M at my friend Courtney's house! So much fun!
