Newbies
This week has been quite eventful in our family. We have had TWO new additions! On Monday, my sister Diana gave birth to sweet little David Lev. 
Wednesday, as David and Diana went home from the hospital, Maria gave birth to precious Elise Jane.
Both look just like their daddies and I can't wait to meet them both! We will see David (NYC) next week for Thanksgiving, but we have to wait to see Elise (SoCal) until March when we head out there for a family wedding. Congrats to my sisters & bro's in law. So much love!

Cover Snatcher
No one likes a cover stealer, but I have inadvertently become one. It must be due to my incessant tossing and turning, thanks to my enlarged abdomen. Last night when I woke up to use the bathroom (for the second time) I looked across the great divide of our bed (my necessary body pillow) to see my husband completely without sheets or blankets. It was a chilly night, too! Poor guy. Thankfully, when I mentioned it in the morning, he had no recollection of the incident.

Halloween Bugs!
We enjoyed lots of fun Halloween Festivities this year! I LOVE Halloween, and it was so fun to see Olivia enjoy it too. On Thursday we attended a playgroup Halloween party, hosted by my friend Regina. It was lots of fun to get the kiddos together all dressed up.
Then on Saturday, we went to The Avenue (a local set of nice shops and restaurants) for trick-or-treating. It was packed, but Olivia caught on right away that they were giving out treats!
Saturday evening was the ward Trunk-or-Treat, which was tons of fun! The unborn and unnamed baby donned her very first Halloween costume! Since Olivia was a ladybug, we went with the bug theme this year. Baby was a little caterpillar, in her cocoon, of course!
The whole family at the trunk-or-treat!
Inside now, not so washed out. I was a butterfly, and Jon was a spider if you can't tell. I was mistaken for a pregnant fairy, and he was mistaken for a "night stalker", so maybe our costumes needed a little work...oh well. ;)
I don't have any pictures, but Sunday evening, I made "dinner in a pumpkin" and we had a few friends over to share our meal and family home evening. We were only interrupted by a couple hundred trick-or-treaters! :) We had a great time, and it was a bang of a way to end the fantastic month of October!
Bring it on, November! Christmas shopping, I'm all over you!

Autumn Time...Again
It looks like Chapel Hills Farm is starting to be an Autumn tradition for our family! Can you believe how much she's grown!?

Growing Girl
Olivia is turning into SUCH a big girl! She is talking more (possibly thanks to us taking away the binky except for nap time and night time...oh, and church...). Some of her favorite words are "Daddy", "no, no, no", "oh, cool" (sounds like "oh, ghoul"), "yummy nummy", "doggie", and "hi" (used for "hi" and "bye").
She loves to wear her shoes, eat with a spoon by herself (though this is still messy), and "help" around the house. She throws her own diapers away, picks up toys (with encouragement) and helps set the table, among other things.
Jon has been so busy this semester with work + school that there are usually a couple days a week when he leaves before she's up and gets home after she is in bed. This is turning her into quite the daddy's girl. When he's home, she wants HIM! It's so sweet!
Today is a perfect, crisp, fall day, and we decided to go for a walk and gather some leaves. Olivia had a GREAT time! I didn't get any pictures of the fall colors (gorgeous!) but here are some of my girl (also gorgeous...in my humble opinion). :)
