Catch up

Sorry it's been a while since I blogged.  Seems to always be the case lately.  We've been busy:

Playing outside before it gets too chilly

 Made our first of many trips to the orchard this fall (we love our honey crisp apples) can't you tell?

 They both thought it was pretty awesome.

 We had some special visitors for a night!  My Aunt Becky and Uncle Rick were so sweet to make a stop in GR to spend a day with us.   What a treat.  

 We went to the circus with some friends 

 Luke was mesmerized, but Langley was not so much.

 I took some pictures of my big girl, 

 Who looks 14 in this picture to me.  

And lastly but most importantly....

We have a nephew!!!!!  

Noah Levi Charbonnet arrived on Sept. 16th!  Isn't he the sweetest thing you've ever seen?  We are all over the moon excited for the new addition to the family.   I just CAN.NOT.WAIT to hold him.  

Sweet end of summer

This week we have had temperatures in the 60s which feels great, but a little too early in my opinion.   Thankfully we headed out to the beach a couple weekends ago for one last summer hoorah.   I do love fall in Michigan, but this is pretty lovely too.  

And just to brag on my hubby a little, this was just a portion of one day of picking.  He sure has a knack for this.  Maybe he missed his calling? :)

Off to school

Luke started preschool this week and has absolutely LOVED it so far!  I am so thankful.  It doesn't hurt that his best buddy, Cash, is in his class either.  Some of these pictures were from our meet the teacher day but the excitement has not changed all week.  The first day he made sure that I wasn't going to be staying  there with him, and when I went to pick him up the first thing out of is mouth was "Mom, I had really lots of fun!"   His favorite part was playing outside and snack time.  Typical boy.  :)  So proud of my brave boy.  

And I just thought this was sweet. :)   He loves to read.

the ONE year old

I haven't documented much about Langley Grace in a while but it's not for lack of activity.   She decided that the day before her birthday was a great time to start walking and hasn't looked back since.  She is loving life now that she does a little better at keeping up with her big brother.   (Sorry for the poor video quality.  The second child has mostly iPhone video footage of her life.)

She is also starting to really play with her baby dolls and I just can't get over the cuteness.

 Sister also got her first official haircut a couple weeks ago and did quite well I might add, but where did my baby go?

Other than that she is just the sweetest little munchkin.  She's definitely keeping us busy and is absolutely loved to bits.  :)
