Outside

Love this fall weather. We spent the week outside. 

 Monday night we took the girls to Granny' Church, Forest Hills United Methodist Church. Maggie has been waiting 11 months for this. 

 She loved that it was Katie's first time at a pumpkin patch.

 Tuesday I took the girls downtown. Katie ate a lemon for the first time.

 Behind Katie is the store Ossie (Jack's great grandmother) ran. It was Lerner's back then. Nancy worked there under Ossie. On the back of the building "Norwood" is still painted for her parking space. 

 Kaite loves to wave at people....

 ...literally, she will wave at anyone.

 We then walked down to the statue.

 Wednesday we went to the Fair.

 Maggie and Jack rode the bumper cars (and a few other rides). Katie and I just watched:)

 Today we went out to Elliott Farms.

 Maggie cut her own pumpkin (a Georgia Bulldog pumpkin).

We had a picnic.

 I love seeing Katie wear Mags old outfits.

 Maggie used her imagination to pretend she was putting away her horse. 

 Maggie is growing up too fast! I am trying to treasure every minute. She is full of energy, personality, in charge, loves taking care of Katie, and sweet as can be (most of the time:).

 Jack even joined us for a little while.

 Seriously, a beautiful day!!!

 Katie is waving to the flowers.

Jack left right before the hay ride...so I got to take the two girls on a pretty crazy hay ride (up a pretty steep hill!!!)

I love having the two girls at home. There are times I am tired or overwhelmed, but at the end of the day...when I lay Katie in bed and pray with Maggie after reading a Bible story, I could not feel more full of joy or unworthy to have been entrusted with these sweet daughters.
