Here are some of my favorites from Jack's pictures. My friend Sarah did an awesome job! Which one is your favorite?!!?

Goettman family fall ride

Every year Dustin's family goes on a "fall ride." They drive somewhere...usually north to enjoy the fall scenery, a picnic, and family. This year we went to McConnells Mill State Park which is just about 10 minutes from Slippery Rock. It was a nice, sunny day...a nice change from the freezing cold and rain we've been having. Anyways...it was fun. Kate always has a blast with her family. She has so much fun playing with them. Baby Jack slept most of the day. He enjoyed sleeping in my sling while we were walking to the creek.

Too cute!

This post is just filled with lots of cute pictures of Kate and Jack! He started smiling last week and I just think its adorable! So I take lots and lots of pictures!! Not too much new here just life as usual...but I just had to share the cute pictures :)

(His acne is FINALLY clearing up!!)

Kate got out all her old toys and loved showing them all to Jack. Now she's been playing with them ever since! BTW anytime Jack is on the floor this is where you will find Kate!! She LOVES that boy!

Contemplation

I've been contemplating my life lately. I notice a common theme in my blog...every post is about my kids. Now, I do have really cute kids :) but this has been on my mind alot lately. I've been bothered by the fact that I don't have anything else going on in my life right now. I AM more than just a mom. Right?? I'd like to think I am. I think it's important to be. I think a balanced life would be more fulfilling. However, I really am "just" a mom right now. Surely I have to have some talent or hobby, right? NOPE. Surely I have something more to give. I truly LOVE being a mom. Kate is seriously one of my favorite people in the world and baby Jack is shaping up to be pretty amazing too! But I still want more. Is that so wrong? I can be a friend, a wife, a daughter, a sister...yet day in and day out...I do nothing more than take care of my kids. I am a mom. SIGH.

OMG these kids are CUTE!!

Outta the mouth of Kate

"Get out of my mommy's way (yelling). Those people not know how to drive, mommy."

"I'm so glad you're throat is feeling better, Mommy."

"I'm sorry, Mom." (kiss on my leg) "you happy now?"


Me: "Would you like a little pop, Kate?"
Kate: "No I not have pop. Its not good for me."

Dustin: "You have to eat your lasagna before you get garlic bread."
Kate: "But mommy not eat all her lasagna and she's having bread."

"When I get bigger, I'm gonna get married like you and Daddy. When I get bigger, I can marry Baby Brudder." hmmm...we'll have to explain that one to her later!

I LOVE this sweet little girl!
