Feelin' Like Fall

 Mark spent this past weekend in Central Oregon with a bunch of men from our church for 'Man Camp.'  At home we had 'Mommy & the Girls Survival' weekend.  Actually it wasn't too bad.  Things are starting to feel like fall around here, Heidi always crashes about 30 seconds after we leave church and I thought Allison & I deserved a special treat today so we hit a Starbucks drive-thru on our way home from church.  It is definitely fall - Starbucks has their fall drinks & treats out! 

 This little girl is getting so independent.  She started in her Pre-K class at school.  Both Teacher Ashley (her preschool teacher) and I are having a hard time with it.  Just wait until next year when she moves to a new school!  Anyhow, with the Pre-K class comes some new responsibilities and independence both at school and at home.  We converted a cabinet for her craft 'supplies.'  I'm amazed at how well she gets out the things she wants to use and puts them back away when she's done.  But don't worry, she isn't completely grown-up yet, we had a meltdown shortly after these pictures were taken.  She ran out of tape and I told her we weren't going to get any more out.  Glad to know she is still my 'little' girl :).
