Busy, busy

It has been very busy here at the Bril household. I don't think we have spent one night just hanging out. We have been running here and there. Trying to get stuff organized with this house is exhausting. We did manage a night of playing in the driveway (still no grass, but hoping it is coming in one week) and going for a walk. Of course Caeden loves to be outside and Noah seemed to enjoy it too! Too bad we didn't move in sooner so we could of enjoyed the nice weather more!







We have been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what to do for landscaping. Mike and I are clueless when it comes to that. I can't tell you how many times we have been to Bachman's, Gerten's or other nursery places. We did finally pick out some tree's and they are hopefully going to be delivered on Friday! These next set of pictures are from when we went up to Gerten's one night. Caeden wasn't really up to participating in mom's torture of trying to get some cute fall photo's, but Noah seemed to like it!






One of my favorite things to do in the fall is go apple picking. We usually go down Belle Plaine to Emma Krumbies! We decided at the last minute last Saturday to go down there. We did not stay long as it was very warm, which brought out a lot of bees and those Asian beetles, yuck! We did manage to get some fun pictures taken.






Caeden loved helping Mike pick the apples and took pride on picking them. He wanted to go from tree to tree to find the apples. He tired so hard pulling them off the tree, but he had to have some help from dad. All in all it was a good day. Next week I am going to try and make some apple bread, apple crisp and some homemade applesauce. We will see how far I get!

Tonight we were able to go pick some pumpkins out. Every time we drive past Pahl's Caeden loves to look at the big pumpkin. The big pumpkin is a blow up thing kids can bounce in. Well when we got there, he didn't want to go in. I even tried bribing him. Nope, wanted nothing to do with it. Well at least we got some pictures of Caeden and the pumpkins!

And lastly, my little Noah. He is now 24 weeks and still is not sleeping through the night. We are still having some issues with his eating and hoping when he has his 6 month appt later this month, the doctor will give me some insight. Maybe once he starts on some solid food he will do better.

He is getting so close to crawling and you can tell he wants to move and he is frustrated that he can't. Mike mom told me that Mike was this same way. Once Mike was able to move he was a very happy baby. Mike also walked at 8 months so we will see if Noah takes after his dad!







Sorry for the picture overload tonight. We had a lot going on in the past couple of weeks and wanted to share. We are still trying to settle into the house and it is starting to feel like home. Of course I am very anxious to get to decorating and painting and Mike has to remind me to take one step at a time.
