November

Another busy month has flown by!  The girls are getting more mobile and grown up every day.  We've been enjoying the wonderful weather and some wonderful visitors.  Here's a photo from our visit with my Aunt Cindy and Uncle Bill.

 

Probably the best skill they've learned yet - hugs!  Here's Elsie hugging daddy.

 

 

They don't nap on daddy anymore but they do love to sit in his chair with him! Leonie on the left.

 

 

Wagon rides from Daddy. Elsie in front.

 

Another recent talent - drawer opening :)  Now they often open a kitchen drawer to play with new "toys".  Leonie on the left.

Food is still a highlight and we had blueberry pancakes one morning that were a hit.  Here's Elsie.

Our outdoor adventures have been lots of fun.  Leonie discovered the horses' water tank!

 

 

Water is always a big hit.  Here they found some puddles on another tank.  Leonie in pink.

 

 

Elsie with a green pepper.

 

As an early Christmas present the girls got a slide and a couple of ride on toys for outside.  It took about two days for them to learn how to use the slide by themselves!  Here's Elsie about to slide.

 

 

And Leonie on their little four wheeler.

We've also made a few trips to the playground and the girls love the slides there too.  Here they are bundled up on a park bench.  Leonie in pink.

 

 

As the weather has cooled off we've had to break out these adorable sweaters from my Grandma Anne.  Here's Leonie.

 

 

Enjoying some sunshine.  Leonie on the left.

 

 

Both girls love rides around the yard in the wagon.  Elsie on the left.

 

 

Look at these big girls sitting in the bar stools!  They love to watch me prepare food.

 

 

Another early present - a play kitchen! Leonie on the left.

 

 

The last visitor for the month - Aunt Sam!  It took about 30 seconds for both girls to climb right into her lap and want her to read a book.  They also enjoyed airplane rides and making lots of animal noises.  Wolf howls have been added to their repertoire!

 

 

Finally, a couple of  cute videos from this month.  The girls LOVE to FaceTime and have even learned to play peek-a-boo with my parents on the screen.
