LEAVES!

Last weekend, we went to Tom's parents house to help them rake leaves. They have a very big yard and TONS of leaves. We figured Ella would really enjoy it, and she did! She "helped" with her own pail/shovel, and her favorite part was when Tom would load the tarp with leaves and drag it to the burn pile. She would ride along amongst the leaves....she's so little and there were so many leaves, sometimes you could barely spot her in there! Anyway, here are the pictures from the day:

Ready to help!

Riding along in the tarp....this is the best part!

Doing her part by loading some leaves into her Dora bucket. :)

This picture is a little washed out, but still so cute. She had so much fun!

Happy girl....

Getting ready to go over the "bump" on the driveway....she really liked that part.

Enjoying the ride....

Giggle, giggle :)

The view as Tom pulled the tarp away...can you find Ella? :)

It was a really fun Fall day. At least we know we'll always have a "helper" when it comes time to rake leaves each year!

Baby update: Had my 30 week appointment yesterday, and everything is looking great! I am measuring right on time, and I can already tell (or at least I think) that this little guy is going to be bigger than Ella was. He is a mover and a shaker, that's for sure! We'll keep you posted. My next appointment isn't until December 3rd, which is 3 weeks from now, but my 2 week would have fallen on Thanksgiving, so we just put it off a week. It is all going by so fast! We are gearing up for Thanksgiving, and I am even trying to be good about getting some Christmas shopping done early since we'll have so much going on the next few months. Just ordered the baby's bedding online, so as soon as it comes in and we get the new room decorated, I'll post some pics. Have a great weekend everyone!
