Fall Photos at Kerkman farm

Oh my kids are cute! It was an impromptu photo shoot at my grandpa's farm. Lighting could be better, my kids could have cooperated better, photo quality could be better, but there are few I really love! They had a good time climbing around everything. Marshall was having a struggle because he cannot sit so well yet. I love fall and all the fun times it is going to bring us!

The last of summer & the first of fall!

divWow time has flown! We fit in as much fun as possible this last few weeks (a difficult feat with school in session since July!). The weather has turned on us--cold and rainy, for the last couple of days. Miserable to us fair-weather friends. We hit the state fair this year on another rainy and yucky day. I did get a fried snickers bar which was quite an experience! Tally had fun playing baseball (Rob was her coach!) and is gearing up for basketball right now. Rob and I took a quick trip to Vegas for one last summer hurrah. It was so fun hanging out with John, Rachel, Katie, and friends. The kids had a great time with Grandma Cindy, Aunt T & Jeremy in their new house. Marshall is growing so quickly! He is already 5 months old. I really wish he would sleep at this point (still up at least every 2- 2 1/2 hours and some nights every hour!). He does not seem to need it. Happy as can be with no REM sleep or naps. Me on the other hand, am not fairing so well! I am dying for this boy to sleep. I keep telling myself he will soon--keep hope alive I guess. I can't say I am the nicest mom right now to the girls--very short on patience. I know it will pass and I hate wishing these months away, but it is rough for all of us! The girls are doing very well in school. We are learning "sight words" with Ash and continuing to learn those darn letters! She is improving every day though. Tally is doing great. She is loving to read more and more every day. She is doing great in math as well, which is good because I can't do much past the 4th grade level! Stay tuned--there are lots of photos to come!
