Last Week

Here's some things and pictures that went one last week.

Madalyn got her first gymnastics report card and did great. We are proud of her. She enjoys going.

Alexis had a bad hair day. Ha ha! :)

Alexis is walking more and more each day.

Meet Morgan

Wednesday, October 14, 2015, "Morgan" Ann Riddley was born. She's 9 months and 8 days younger than Alexis. A funny story, when Lindsey came to see me when Alexis was born Madalyn asked her if she had a baby in her tummy. She said no. Then a few weeks later, Lindsey shared her exciting news with us. So excited she's here and doing good.

Picking Apples and Pumpkins

 This past weekend, we went to visit my parents. We wanted to take the girls apple picking and pumpkin picking. We started this tradition when Madalyn was born. We had planned to go on Saturday, but it rained all day, so we went Sunday morning. We wanted to go somewhere different this year, so we started at one place, but they were out of apples! So, we went to Granddad's Orchard which is the first place we took Madalyn when she was 7 months old. We had a great time, the sun came out and it was a great day of making memories for our family.

Madalyn fed the goats and other animals.

Let's go pick apples

The sun came out as we rode the cow train.

Here's a look back at Madalyn's 1st trip to Grandad's Apple Orchard

Bath Time

Back in August, the girls and I went to visit my parents for a few days before school started. Alexis had a bath in the kitchen sink.

Daily Life

Some of the pictures are from September, some more current, but they are just of our day to day life.
