Looking For Pumpkins

Posing with Papa!
Mama loves her girls!

We were impressed with her determination to pull the wagon.

We caught her trying to sneak another one!

The air is crisp. The leaves are old. Rake them all - the red and gold. Scoop them up. The pile's so tall! Jump right in! I just love Fall!

We went looking for pumpkins and had a blast. Elainea and Hannah were brimming with excitement over the idea of selecting a pumpkin. We went to a pumpkin patch up the street and the girls took turns pulling the wagon and picking out the pumpkins. We had so much fun! It was truly a miracle to see our girls working together. It gave me a sense of peace to know that they will always have each other.



Elainea continues to progress on her speech. She gets better and better all of the time. We are trying to set an appointment to get her hearing checked. She has been in the early intervention program, but when she turns three she will transition into head-start. Given the tough criteria for head-start I do not think she will qualify for the program. Part of me is excited, but part of me is scared at the thought that we will no longer have help for her.



The pregnancy is progressing well. We found out that we are having a boy. The baby now has a name, Hayden Patrick Rockwell. This way he will be named after his Grandpa and Dad. The name is a concatenation of both their middle names, so he will be named after them without having to name him Joe.
We continue to enjoy God's abundant blessings.
