October 2013

October and fall of 2013 was a fun and busy time!  With the weather cooling we enjoyed many outdoor activities!

We are so fortunate to live next door to some really sweet horses!  

Sammy get to help feed them whenever we're around.

 We attended our FCC annual Pumpkin Patch event!  What a fun time.

 

Sammy got his first award for playing soccer, what a big boy.

 We spent a wonderful day with our dear friends at the Children's Museum on "train day"!

Trunk or Treat at Simone's school!

 Trick or Treating fun!

I love fall in East Tennessee, all the smells in the air, the colors and the cooler weather!

September 2013

On to September of 2013.  I started back to work full time and life became that much more crazy!  The kids were both growing up so much, each with their own interests....

Simone once again chose to run cross country for her school!

 And Sammy learned more about Soccer.

 We had a great time at the FCC (Families with Children from China) Moon Festival!

 My two lovely dumplings!  Getting so big....

 And then there's these 2...getting so old!

 We love fall decorations, even if it still felt like summer!

 Time again to hit the local parks and bring the fishing poles out!

 Sammy and I visited the Children's Museum quite often that year.

So September was a blur of fun times, new activities and time with friends!
