3 months!

 Jane is 3 months! Can you believe it? This little miss is growing so much and so fast. We just keep falling more and more in love with her.

 Jane is a smiley girl and is super eager to talk! She will smile and coo at me all day long. She makes total cliché baby noises and it just melts my heart. Carrie said she sounds like the baby in that Aaliyah song and I'm pretty sure she hit the nail right on the head with that.

 Jane is also sleeping through the nights now! She goes to bed a little after William and Lily go to bed and wakes up a few minutes before they do the next morning. She is an awesome sleeper. Jane also LOVES her bath time and she's a breastfeeding pro. She is just everything you could ask for in a baby.

 

 

 We just love baby Jane!

 

All 3

The biggest thing that I loved about having William and Lily home for fall break was that I could take pictures of all three of my children! I've been wanting to do this for a while now, but I haven't been able to. 

It was a lot of fun and I had to be super careful to not make William and Lily look like Jane's mom and dad. They kind of do in that picture above.

William and Lily LOVE having Jane. Lily has adjusted to being a big sister and I don't think she would have it any other way now. She loves Jane and Jane definitely loves her!

 

 William (as always) is a wonderful big brother. He makes sure he gives Jane a kiss goodbye every morning before school and every night before bed.

 William and Lily are both such great helpers and want to do things with Jane.

Having all three little ones home for two weeks for the first time was a lot of fun. A lot of work, but the fun out weighed anything else. I can't wait for more!

End of Soccer

 The soccer season has ended and Lily's team rocked it out! They only lost one game and even then it was only by one point. They're a good team and have excellent coaches. We're excited for the Spring season of rec soccer.

Lily absolutely loves soccer. Mostly when she's on the field though. Otherwise, she doesn't care too much as you can tell from this picture! Lily's coach is going to be coaching the girls travel soccer team called the Lady Rapids next fall and he's been wanting Lily to come to the practices. So right now, even though there isn't soccer, we still have practices twice a week! It's worth it if Lily loves it though. She's learning so much and her confidence has boosted so much! We're so proud of little Lily!

Fall Break: Downtown

Matthew took off of work a couple of hours early one day to take the kids to the state capital building. I've been wanting to do this for a while now. We only walked around the grounds, but I have every intention of going inside next time (maybe winter break) to have the kids see what it's all about and go to the Tennessee State Museum.

William and Lily thought they were being so funny acting like the statues. I'll admit I was laughing pretty hard at them. They are some funny kids!

We also walked across the street to see the War Memorial Auditorium. 

William and Lily couldn't get over that the statue was practically naked and you could see his bum cheeks!

It was really fun to walk around downtown as a family and see things that we haven't before. 

Fall Break: Fun Run

 William and Lily did a fun run in Murfreesboro!

 They ran for 1 mile and William came in 4th overall!

 He did pretty awesome!

 Lily was amazing too! She wasn't far behind.

 They got some awesome t-shirts and a medal.

 

 Lily was chosen as a winner for the spirit contest. I'm pretty sure they just pulled her number out of a hat!

 They had a lot of fun stuff there. William and Lily had spray paint tattoos on their arms. William got Batman and Lily (of course) got a soccer ball!

Both William and Lily have been dying to do a race and I'm so glad they had the opportunity to. Now they're begging to do more. 

Happy Halloween!

 So, we're a little late with the sentiments, but what's new? We're always late now! Fall is here and Halloween was a little hectic, but always fun. William was Fix it Felix, Lily was the girl version of the Lone Ranger, and Jane was a pumpkin. I put together their costumes this year and I made Lily's vest and mask. It's was a lot of fun to do this year. I got them all done before our Trunk or Treat. For some reason if you tell the kids to do a scary face they automatically go to zombie mode.

 Wreck-it Ralph and Vanelope were at the Trunk or Treat too. Of course we had to take a picture!

Our little pumpkin girl.

 Lone Ranger. She had to pose so you could see her holster and gun.

 Fix it Felix with his gold hammer.

 Matthew took William and Lily to Bass Pro Shops one evening and they had this Great Pumpkin set up to take pictures. They were so excited to show me when they got home.

 We went to the pumpkin patch during the kid's fall break to pick our perfect pumpkins. We love Walden Farms in Smyrna. It's a lot of fun and there's so much to do and look at.

Here is our big haul!

 We had  a pumpkin carving party and watched Halloween movies! Lily's pumpkin is Monster High. William's pumpkin is Mario. Jane's is the owl and Matthew's is the scary face. We did have another pumpkin, but after carving two pumpkins my hands could barely straighten out!

 

The weather ended up being awful on Halloween, so all the neighborhoods postponed trick or treating. Bummer! We still had fun and went to John and Krystin's house for games and cookies. We got all three of the new babies together for a first Halloween picture. Jane was obviously excited about this. 

 When we got home (and the electricity came back on) we continued the party and made some Halloween goodies. William and Lily made mummy pigs in a blanket!

We weren't able to go trick or treating this year, but William and Lily still had a great holiday and had fun dressing up.

Happy Halloween!!
