Enjoying warm weather

It's been awhile since I posted and we've been up to two things - recovering from nasty bugs and playing outside.

We started with pink eye and between the 5 of us had high fevers, sore throats, ear infections and congested coughs - a lot of it got passed around and we are finally on the upswing!

We are grateful that although November in the Chicago area can be cold it's been pretty nice. We've only worn our winter coats once so far! I am not a big fan of winter and being cold so I am soaking up as much of the outdoors as possible.

So I thought I would share some photos of our autumn fun!

Ok, not exactly the best time, but Jackson made the best of the doctor's office despite a double ear infection! He screamed when he saw the doctor who gave him two shots when he saw her for a well visit a few weeks before!

Grandma and Peyton go for a ride.

Peyton helping with raking!

Brett relaxing in the pile of leaves - he LOVED the crunching sound they make!

Jackson playing in the leaves.

Peyton (in stripes) and Jackson help Tate put up some Christmas lights. Brett was napping in the stroller. Tate took advantage of the nice weather to get the lights up, but we don't turn them on until after Thanksgiving!
