Chinese

At Matthew's school - he learns Chinese ones a week. His teacher told me this week that he knows his colors and was able to count to seven all by himself (he even did it in front of the class - which Matty usually doesn't do as the shyness factor usually kicks in!). I guess I can justify letting him watch as much Ni Hao Kai Lan as he wants! Honestly, we don't know if he is right - but he sounds quite convincing :)

Ponyrides

We found a cute little horse farm near our house. We were able to let the kids take a pony ride on a path in search of the Great Pumpkin! The kids loved riding a horse - I guess we will have to go on another pony ride next summer we when visit family in CO.

They also were able to play games. It was a great Fall weekend!

Family

Mama, Papa, and Mimi visited us last week and we kept ourselves BUSY! From a train ride through the civil war era to a Halloween light show/carnival to an Indian Summer picnic at the lake, we had lots of fun!
