Hot Springs and Falling Leaves

Things around here are starting to slowly slow down (slowly being the key word). Lou is home a little more predictably now and we are starting to feel like a family again. We are taking time to enjoy local hotsprings, do a little work around the house and getting ready for winter, snuggling up and reading books and making time for craft projects and canning. Fall is here!! Fall does mean soccer for frannie so we have had fun taking her to practices and games and watching her feel proud of herself for helping her team and scoring goals. she had a great soccer season. Whats next? No plans that we know of until we decide to stop house hunting or buy a new one. Everything is up in the air for a short while but that is okay-we can deal with anything.

The kids are doing great! Gabe is dancing, talking more, being destructive and learning how to feed himself. He has another ear infection so we are taking him to Missoula to get his ears looked at to see if we need to have tubes put in. Maybe if he gets them he will sleep at night, maybe....

Frannie has been the best 4 1/2 year old ever (so much better than 4) and her language and motor skills are exploding (yes that is possible with her) and she seems to have turned into dr. doolittle. she has been trying to keep ants as pets and has been even naming them and feeding them. mostly she calls her ants Eli. She is doing great with her chickens and wishes she had more. She wants to make her dog cookies and sell them at the farmers market (she loves the farmers market). I have to remind myself that she is only 4 a lot of the time.
