October 2014 - Cabin Time

Melody loves to play at the railing on our hallway/landing. One morning before the 

kids went to school she was laughing and playing with them.

I finally realized that Jaina's hair was thick enough for me to actually braid it, 

so we did braids like Anna from Frozen.

We got the house all decorated for Halloween and the girls did the window. 

Melody loved looking at everything.

The first weekend of October we went to the cabin to close it with Mana and she 

brought Max, Conli and Sawyer with her so the kids had a great time together.

Max is turning into his dad. He had to get the biggest bowl he could find 

and fill it to the brim with cereal. YUM!

There is a crib at the cabin that has been fantastic to use. I love not having to worry about packing one.

I wanted to get fun fall pictures with the kids and they turned out really cute.

Even did some of these three!

When we got home I was able to rock Melody to sleep, which doesn't happen 

very often any more. So I cherish every moment of it. 

Melody was getting bored of her toys so we pulled out all the Little People and she was happy for a long time!

She is also starting to eat more solid food and loves it. She still only has 1 tooth though.

Now with the real braiding I was able to do hair like Elsa from Frozen.

Mara had a Daddy/Daughter date for Activity Days and it was a dress up one.  

She was a beauty queen and dad was her security guard!

At 11 months old Melody was finally growing out of the jammies that Karri modified from Christmas when she was 6 weeks old. It's so crazy that she was able to wear the same clothes for 10 months!

Every so often I'm able to catch the beauty of this earth. I absolutely love sunsets!
