Enjoying Autumn Indoors

We've spent a bit more time indoors these last couple weeks.  The kids have really been into reading on their cars recently.  Hey, I'm thrilled!  It's active for their minds and hands and also somewhat of a quieter activity!  Win win win!

This is another one of my kids' favorite activities:  rearranging the living room cushions and pillows to create forts and caves and houses and cars and...and...and...

All the pictures with Nathanael were too blurry to post.  Figures.
This was simply a normal morning at our home.  Breakfast while listening to music videos.  They're really into Rend Collective right now.

My little monkey.  "I really wasn't playing with the cord, Mom."

Enjoying Autumn Outdoors

This is our fourth Autumn in Vienna.  It is a spectacular season.  This year, as prior years, we tried to get out in nature as much as possible.  That usually meant going places with parks.

Here is my little Autumn beauty.  She loves to swing.

Our big boy adventurer leads the way.

And looks who's following after!  That's right, folks!  She is WANTING to walk!

Enjoying the leaves in our home park:
either in the middle of it all, like Nathanael,

or safely and securely watching contentedly from a distance, like Evangeline.
