Mom came to visit!

  

It was great to have Mom here! Nolan and I got to pick her up from the airport. We were supposed to meet her at Subway. We went to Subway (which had gone out of business), no Mom. I looked for her flight on the big sign, no flight. Hmmmm....I decided to walk back to Subway just in case. There she was! We had somehow passed each other.

 

Since Elliot was in school, we didn't do anything spectacular. Just everyday things. Church, potluck, visit the mother-in-law, etc. Unfortunately Mom got sick about 3-4 days before she was supposed to go home--a bad cold. Sorry, Mom!

 

One of our highlights was Bratislava! A once and a lifetime trip! Stay tuned for the next post!

 

Wedding

We attended a wedding of a couple from church. We enjoyed the afternoon--it was a bit windy and chilly but still neat to see everyone! It just melted my heart to see all my boys in suit jackets! They all looked so sharp!

 

Favorite picture of the boys!

Elliot is seven!

Our big boy is seven!!! We can't believe it! He is such a joy!

Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pictures. I was sick with the hand, foot, mouth disease and couldn't go to his birthday party. Papi did a great job though!

Thanks, Granna!

We got him a office stool for doing his homework.

Fall

The boys love gathering chestnuts!

Getting some new teeth!

So many leaves!!!

It's been a beautiful fall!

A fun Saturday, school and random pictures

 A friend invited us to a go cart park and the boys enjoyed playing around!

Elliot did the driving--Nolan couldn't drive a straight line. :)

 

Nolan drew a picture!

Elliot's first letter--M

He said twos were hard...



Nolan is getting interested in puzzles!

Nolan wanted to do homework...

Nolan's ones...:):):)

Schulanfang

We had a wonderful Schulanfang for Elliot!  It was just the four of us for the morning ceremony at the school officially welcoming Elliot to school. We had a coffee and cake time for family and friends at the church building in the afternoon. It was a lot of work but I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

 

His eyes just couldn't keep still!



One of my favorite pictures of the day! Elliot with his Zuckertüte!

Opening his Zuckertüte--I made sure it had no candy in it!

His cake--it was delicious!!
