Fall begins!

Well our usuall fall is underway. Patrick's busy time! Today marks the 3rd day in a row that he hasn't seen the girls. He's been working in Bemidji. He gets home about 10pm and leaves in the morning at 5:30/6:00am. The job should be finished today. Sydney hasn't asked too much about it. Except for when she is heading to bed she asks "will daddy be home tonite?" Karsyn has been more vocal about it. Pointing out daddy in our pictures around our house and in books that he's not even in. =) She usually wakes up yelling "mommy", today she woke up yelling "daddy" luckily he was still here and she got to snuggle daddy for a couple minutes before he headed out the door. I'm not sure who its harder on the girls or Patrick....or me?

Anyways, Karsyn has always been very chatty. I'm starting to decode her blabbering, here's a little of Karsyn lingo for ya. Book is boop, blankie is bebe, drink is rink, potty is poppy just to name a few=) Karsyn is showing interest in going on the potty, only when she feels like it. If I ask her if she has to go she gets a little bucky and usually frowns at me. Be patient....right?? I can see the end of diapers nearing and I can't wait!!!

We took Karsyn in for ther 18 month pictures the other day and decided to do a famlily picture, since our last one was when Syd was 1!! Time flies!
I thought doing her pictures alone first would be better, get the good smile out, right? Well that didn't work, she wouldn't leave Patrick's arms. So I guess family ones are first=) In the family shots we didn't get one smile out of her. But thankfully for hers she was warmed up and turned out to be quite the model. Sydney did such a great job trying to get her to smile, helping the picture lady, very sweet!

Today Sydney and I got our fall decorations out. She was very proud to help me decide where they should go. I have a fiber optic scarecrow that is a hit for both the girls! Syd was so excited to find out that he changes colors!

Thats all for now! I know...pictues! I'll get our family ones back of friday so be patient!!!
