Since we've been home!

We've been back home in Kentucky since early September. We have slowly gotten back into the groove of homelife. We have play group weekly and have recently added a dance class for Natalie every thursday nights. Not to mention that we finally renewed our Zoo pass last week so we can go to Hall-Zoo-ween( and tour the Zoo weekly too)!

We did have a heavy windstorm that took out our power for the day on September 14th. We were blessed that it only was out till Sunday night. Others in our area, mainly in OH, were without power for at least 5 days(some even longer). The missionaries came over the next day to help Jeremy clean up the part of the tree that the storm knocked down.

Our friends invited us to Kings Island, the local theme park, and we had a fun day with them. I think the Kids had fun too... Some big events have happened in the Kids lives! Brayden turned 18 months in September and had his first official day of Nursery! And has been in there since with no problems! Not to mention he can pull off a cool Faux-hawk. Natalie not only started a fun new dance class but she had her first professional haircut at Sableux(the Salon I go to). I missed the cuttest picture of her walking from getting her hair shampooed with a towel around her head and her hairdresser holding the robe up so she wouldn't trip on it!! Next time I'll schedule mine after so I can get all the cute shots. Not to mention that I broke down and finally let her paint her nails!
Playgroups since we got back have been tons of fun. We went to Jump Zone and have had tons of fun playing at a variety of parks(due to the good weather), not to mention walking over the Purple People Bridge to get to one. Natalie started Dance class on Septeber 25th. We have slowly gotten all the gear she needs as you can see since her first picture she is in regular clothes! I think she is just adorable in her little dance outfit! Her teacher is Ms. Kim and she teaches them in Ballet, tap, and some tumbling. Natalie is loving it like crazy. Whenever she has the chance she is dancing around...even in Class!

This past weekend we went to the first Hall-ZOO-ween of the month and our Ward Harvest Party. For the Zoo the Kids dressed up as Pirates. We went with our friends the Erwins. At the party later that night, the kids dressed up as a Cowboy and Cowgirl. Jeremy added a twist by having the whole family wear "redneck teeth." They looked so cute! They ended the night in their glow in the dark skeleton gymmies(pj's for you non-Gymboree freeks!).
