October

October has come and almost gone. What a pretty month this has been with the leaves changing colors. We are trying to enjoy being outside as much as possible before the cold weather settles in to stay for a while.

Brent turned 40 on the 19th. We spent the afternoon at the NC State Fair. It was our first time for the NC fair. Actually, it was the first fair for the kids. They had fun on rides and eating. Brock was 4 on the 21st. He had a fun party that Sunday. He is showing his uniqueness more and more as he gets older. If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he says "a football player". Cars, trucks and legos are some of his favorite toys right now.

Brian, Debbie and Jessica were here for a few days. It was fun letting all the cousins play. Sweet Jessica just came right in as if we were next door neighbors! I'm not sure she knew what to expect but she was ready for it! The time with them went by tooooooo quickly.

Corinne and Emma are able to remember words and phrases from books now. They are beginning to have their favorites that they bring to us to read over and over again. Thankfully, they have a big sister who can read to them when I'm not able. She keeps them occupied when necessary.

That's all for now. Check back periodically for more about the life of the NC Freelands...
