Halloween weekend with Mema and Lauren and Airstream camping in Hot Springs

We have had a great fall-lots of time as a family. We have spent a lot of time outside, taking advantage of the beautiful weather. We spent halloween with mema and cousin lauren, saw mimi and papaw for a couple of hours, aunt abbie helped us carve a pumpkin and took us to the park. We took the airstream camping in Hot Springs-Amelia and Evie really liked our little house on wheels-Amelia and Thomas canoed 5 miles on the French Broad River, the Troops met up with us for a brief jaunt on the river and late lunch, Thomas surprised me with a massage at the Hot Springs Spa...

Fall in Asheville

Picnics, visits from MiMi, corn mazes, pumpkin farms, pony rides, face painting, petting farm at Biltmore Estate, hikes, strolls, and more picnics...my favorite time of year! The girls are such loves. They play so well together and keep each other entertained most of the waking hours. Thank goodness-two gets easier by the day! Oh, and Evie is on the move. She started crawling a little before 8 months-she is trying to pull up too-she is not as cautious as Amelia.

Amelia turned 3 today!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Amelia's birthday today! Well, actually [one of her favorite phrases], we've been celebrating for over a week now. It started out with Thomas's smiley face pancakes with candles, hiking on the AT in Hot Springs, tulling around Hot Springs after the hike, ice cream, cup cakes, more playing, dinner, books and bed. Thomas said she started snoring the minute her eyes closed...she and Evie are really enjoying each other's company. It makes us so happy to see them play together!

Amelia Island fun!

We are spending the week on Amelia-our cousins are here too-we finally met our newest cousin, Lily, who is 3 weeks younger than Evie-the girls are having so much fun swimming in aunt MA and uncle Paul's pool.

At the WNC Nature Center with the girls and Lesley, our most wonderful nanny and friend-we are so blessed to have her in our family.

Oh, and Thomas took the family sailing too-Amelia loved being on the boat...Evie just loves being with her momma...

Amelia Island: visiting Thomas' parents at the end of April/May--this is Ollie's car-Amelia loved riding in it-we took the boat to Cumberland Island, swam, ate well, enjoyed sunset on the dock, played and had a truly wonderful week!
