Playing in the Leaves!

For anyone who has ever been to our house you know we have huge trees that line the back fence and give us privacy all summer. But come fall, all thoses beautiful trees shed their leaves and we end up having to rake them. This year my mom (Grandma Van Bibber) decided that she needed some exercise one day while Emma was taking a nap. She raked all of our leaves into piles for us and then came back another day with Taylor and the truck and help me load them up. Mom, thank you so much. You don't know how much we appreciate all your help!! Before loading the truck though we had to let Emma play a bit. What little kid doesn't like playing in the leaves?

Yes, I did catch her!

See here she is later, playing with Taylor and Sophie!



I don't know if you remember in a previous post that I mentioned we were redoing our bathroom up stairs. Well we are still working on it. Dad has been here a few nights putting in the new tile with Quinn as his helper. WE REALLY APPRECIATE having a Dad who is so generous with his talents and time to come and help us do this. We wouldn't be able to do it with out you Dad so thanks. The tile looks great we can't wait to get the grout put in on Saturday so we can go shopping for a new toilet and finally get our bathroom back. It has been a long time (almost two months). I won't know what to do in the middle of the night, I won't have to walk all the way downstairs anymore. Well here are some pictures of the hardworking, professional tile layers. Keep up the good work, men!

You are lucky, we dont have any trees that are old enough to produce enough leaves for a pile :(.

You can come play in our leaves any time. Please rake them up when you're done. Amen.
