Well, Marissa is doing great! She is eating very well now, silly girl doesn't care for bananas, but loves all her veggies. :) She can roll over from her back to stomach, but not the other way. She, for the most part, can sit up by herself. Once in a while she falls over though. Brody likes sharing his toys with her and cheering her up if she starts to cry. She loves to watch him be silly. She is sleeping in her own room now and wakes up at 6:00am for a bottle then up at 8:00am.
We went to a pumpkin patch and bought a couple pumpkins you can see our creations in the pictures. She had her first Halloween and she was a pink kitty. Brody was Batman. We trick or treated our neighborhood for an hour. Jason's kids and my mom went with us and we didn't get but a few sprinkles of rain so it was nice.
Albany has a "learn something new day" so we invited my mom and Jason's kids down (Dave watched Marissa) and learned a few new things. Brody learned how to make his own beaded zipper pull. I learned how to sew a pumpkin pot holder. Then we both painted some pottery tree ornaments using our finger prints. We had so much fun and can't wait to keep up our learning of beading and pottery painting.
We went to visit my dad a couple weeks ago. He and my step mom are doing good. Brody and Papa went to the neighbors and picked apples together. Dave made apple crisp that night and it was delicious. (Dave doesn't bake very often and it was nice for a change.) My mom made us some applesauce and a special batch for Marissa (no sugar).
Today we went to our friends' wedding, Chris and Cindy Whiteaker. It was beautiful, we had a great time and now Marissa is napping after a long day so it gave me a few minutes to give you an update. Well, we love you all and hope to hear how you are doing.
