Fall is finally here

Well, it is the middle of November and it is FINALLY feeling like fall outside.   Josiah asked us the other day when he could wear his orange jacket.  The fact that he remembered his orange jacket from last winter just shocks me.  It has been in the closet down in our basement, so it isn't like he was seeing it everyday.  His memory just continues to shock us.  So needless to say, we have pulled out our jackets, hats and mittens.  We are enjoying getting bundled up in our warm clothes, but I know in a few months I will be ready to get our summer clothes out. 

I went back to the doctor last Monday, and I got another round of injections in my back for my foot.  The doctor said he would like to see me in a month to see how things are going.  He did say that my foot was looking better, but didn't want to release me yet.  This time, the injections have left me in a bit more pain in my back than the first time, but on the brighter side---my foot hasn't been hurting!!!!  I know the back pain will eventually go away once the bruising heals.  So it looks like we are on the right track, and I'm so thankful that God continues to heal my foot. 

We went to our first football game as a family--look in our November album.  Josiah was fascinated by all the tackling and ball throwing.  I know Daddy would love for Josiah to play football, but Mommy isn't too sure about seeing her baby get hit by a bunch of big guys.  Sophie had a great time screaming when everyone else cheered.  It was very cold that day, so we took whatever blankets we had in the van and bundled up.  It is so much fun creating memories with our children and exposing them to firsts. 

In a little over a week, our two nieces (and their Mommy ) will be coming for a visit from England.  Josiah is so excited to have "Harpie and Auden come over."  We have made a count down chain, so he looks forward to taking a link off each day.  We can't wait for all the cousins to play together, and we can't wait to catch up with Corey.  We are sad that Simon isn't able to come, but maybe we can Skype with him at some point. 

Well, that is about all for now.  Hope this finds everyone well.  Come back in a couple of weeks to see pictures with Harper and Auden
