Happy Fall Ya'll!!!

Okay-I know it has been a really long time again since I posted last, but it takes about an hour to upload photos with this new internet we have, and when you have 3 kids running around all the time-rarely do I have the time-but I will try to do better:)
Things around here have been great. It's finally gotten cold here, which I love-it makes me feel a little at home ( I grew up in Seattle). The kids seem to like it too, they have loved putting on their gloves & coats to go play outside. Luke, of course, has power ranger gloves-silliness!Grandpa & Granny (my dad & stepmom) came a few weeks ago, and we had a great time. I, unfortunately, did not use the camera as much as I should have-and have no pictures of the kids with their grandparents. Granny did take some pictures-so when I get a copy, I will post them.We are still having a GREAT time in our new house, and I still don't have pictures to put up-but I promise I will soon. We love having our own space again-and a yard to play in-it's fantabulous!! We definately feel at home here-it's a perfect first home for us-and by first home, I mean the first home that we can say is ours-not the church's.

Here are some new pics-Enjoy!

We went to the city park by where Steven works-it's fabulous! We try to go have a picnic with Daddy at least once a month. If you can see behind Luke-the caterpillar is a set of money bars/ladder type thing that you climb on-Luke climbed the whole thing by himself-people at the park were impressed by my mighty 4 year old!

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday (Emma Grace now has a full body rash from the hay:(

okay, I KNOW it's been forever!!! Just gimme a minute!!

Okay-we are finally settled enough that I have found my camera cords to download pictures.
We are LOVING the new house. I have been working non-stop since we moved in-changing rooms around, painting things outside, changing the deck, unpacking, doing crafty type things...etc.
The kids are loving the house too. They got all their old toys out of storage, which they were pumped about, as well as getting new beds (well, Luke got his old bed back) But Emma Grace and Lauren both got new beds. Emma Grace moved out of the crib into a full-sized bed, which she and Lauren will share when Lauren gets bigger. And Baby Lauren moved out of the bassinet (which she was WAY too big for), into her big girl crib-and all these changes without a hitch. Everybody slept thru the night right away, and have ever since. Praise God!!!
Emma Grace has also made a huge leap into big-girldom...She is officially, all the way, potty trained!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!wOOOHoooo!!! Now we're down to just 1 in diapers-mucho bettero!
We now have cruddy internet service, so please be patient as I figure it out, returning e-mails later than normal, not uploading as many pictures, etc...
I have not taken any new pictures of the house yet, but I will Friday night-when I plan on having EVERYTHING finished(except the deck, which I have to wait several months to paint because the wood is treated and I have to wait for it to dry out or the paint will peel).So I will post new house pics after that.
Okay-so for some reason I cannot upload pictures-but I will keep trying, but I am gonna post this for now.
