Here's an update on what's been going on with our family over the last couple of weeks. November 18-20 we were up in Delaware to visit with Scott's family and to attend the Michigan at Penn State football game. We were given tickets to the game from Scott's college friend Adam who now coaches at Michigan. So, Scott, his dad, Seth Penhollow and I drove up to Penn State Saturday morning while Scott's mom watched Ally in Delaware. We had a fantastic time and the environment was incredible! The drive up and back was long but the foliage, as you will see in the photo, was beautiful as we got into Pennsylvania. Scott and I both took Monday off and he played golf while I hung out with Ally and met up with her Aunt Kristen at the mall.
Then on Friday we BOUGHT A NEW CAR! Scott's car has been giving us trouble over the last year and although we were hoping to wait until the Spring to purchase a new one, our hand was forced when his car didn't start Thursday. Thankfully, my department chair at school has a good friend who's family owns a Honda dealership. We were put in contact with a general manager who was extremely helpful and we walked away with a 2009 Honda Odyssey at an AMAZING price! We feel very blessed to have been able to purchase this car and know that we will love having it for a long time!
Yesterday evening we carved 2 of our pumpkins. Ally wasn't too into it (as we expected) but she did enjoy playing with her little pumpkins, the pumpkin tops and the gooey insides! I will be sure to post some photos of our finished products all lit up! It was Scott's first time carving a pumpkin and I must say he's a natural!
Ally is finally over her cold, except for a little cough that usually only bothers her in the morning. We are thankful that she's better and that Scott didn't get sick while I only had a minor cold last week. Ally is also in the process of dropping her morning nap. Most days she's ok with just one long nap in the afternoon, but she has days when one nap is not enough. Thankfully she sleeps 12 hours at night to help with the adjustment. She's also babbling so much more and today on the way to her sitter we had a nice "conversation" about what she was going to do today and who she was going to play with at Lisa's house.
Hope you enjoy the photos and I'll be sure to update the blog this next weekend after Halloween with pictures of Ally dressed up and our carved pumpkins!

I think she likes it!

Congratulations on your new car! I love this age where they babble in what sounds like Chinese and German all wrapped in one. So sweet!
