Fall!

Jumping right into fall! This will be the first year you don't see one thing...football pictures! With the exception of one football game Erick and I went to by ourselves, we didn't make it to any. Scheduling just didn't work between the end of baseball season (even without the Nats making the playoffs...so sad!), birthdays, and Cate's soccer.

The kids transitioned to new classes at the end of the summer - Young 3s and Kindergarten. They had some of the best teachers at the school last year! Cate also lost her first 2 teeth before she even turned 5! She likes to show them off in pictures! Tooth fairy brought her 2 gold coins for each tooth. She has to save up 50 to get a special gift!

First up was Max's birthday. It is hard to believe this little guy is 3!! At his three-year-old check up, he was 37 inches tall and 34 pounds.

Cate's birthday two weeks later comes quickly. We had it at a new location - Engineering for Kids. It was nice to change it up! Speaking of engineering, our kids love to do "science experiments" on the weekend!!  At her five-year-old check up, she was 41 1/2 inches and 40 pounds.

Cate was back at soccer for the fall. She is still having lots of fun, and one of her friends from school has been on her same team both seasons! We also enjoyed some beautiful fall weather!

We can't leave off Halloween, with the annual trip to get pumpkins and Messing family theme costumes. This year it was My Little Pony!
