It's October

Hello Family!

Sorry I haven't posted...our camera finally died! I think one too many rides on the Gracen rollercoaster did it in! He loves to play with our camera...NO MORE! So here is an update of our last week here in Virginia. We have had a busy time with both the boys in gymnastics and Judo, Noah in Pre-school and our amazing playdate group! The boys got their Halloween costumes in the mail. They are so excited! Noah is going to be a T-Rex and Gracen is a stegasauras. The cap to our week was a trip to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania. It is a giant amusement park based on the Sesame Street show. I don't know how many of you remember Gracen's love for Elmo, but we all had bets going on what he was going to do. He shocked us all...He didn't say a word!!!! Well he did....ELMO! I don't think he said anything all day except "Look Mama, ELMO!" Then after the whole day we didn't see a life size Elmo character we took him to meet the red friend. He ran right up to him and gave him the biggest hug I have ever seen. He just sat there holding Elmo for a long time...not one hesitation. Then he said Thanks to Elmo and blew him a kiss. IT WAS AWESOME! Noah also discovered that he LOVES Big Bird. He and Rich did a water race game and Noah won a giant Big Bird. That was the end of it. I had bought him an Oscar the Grouch shirt earlier and he asked me to take it back and get Big Bird! We then got to see a parade with all the characters...including Elmo and Big Bird. The boys got to high five them as they went by. Then Noah got to meet Big Bird and get his picture taken. He then told Big Bird how cool his was! Big Bird laughed so loud! Gracen's eyes were the size of plates the entire day. He passed out moments after getting into the car and Noah said "Gracen is exhausted but that was a blast Mom"!!! I had to agree! So here are our photos from our wonderful trip!

Love you all,

Crystal and the gang
