All of these "monkeys"! (She gets her consanants confused and often calls pumpkins, "monkeys".)
Apparently at the farm there were more than pumpkins that Mer was interested in.

At the Pumpkin Farm!
It's best that Aaron and Meredith are out of the house on Monday afternoons when I teach three hours straight of piano lessons. They always look for something interesting to do (eg, look at the fish at PetSmart, pull all the children's books off the shelves at the library, shop for groceries, etc). A few weeks ago, they went to a pumpkin farm!

Meeeeemah! Paaaapah!
Meema: Thank you for the dresses. Here's my favorite one!
Papa: I'm sorry the Twins lost to the Yankees. Maybe the Vikings will make it to the SuperBowl. My daddy says that they will probably play the Colts in February.
Love, Meredith

One of the best things to see...
I think Aaron would agree that among the many, many times that our daughter melts our hearts everyday by saying/doing special things, this ranks around #1. When we go to the basement to do laundry or grab something from the freezer, she stands at the top of the stairs on her tiptoes, yelling, "Mommy, where are you?!" or "Daddy, c'mere!" Who wouldn't want to rush up the stairs to this?
A FLOWER GIRL!
Here's Aunt Holly, Uncle Tim and Meredith last month when they showed up at our house with flowers for Meredith, asking her to be a flower girl in their March 6th wedding! Tim is Mer's godfather and we've always just called him "Uncle Tim". We named his girlfriend "Aunt Holly" as soon as they started dating (which was when Meredith was born) because we knew someday they'd end up married.

Visitors from South Dakota!
FOUR GENERATIONS--All with the same name!
Back in early August, we were blessed to have my parents and my grandma visit. Pictured here are four generations of women: Donna Marie, Julie Marie, Kelli Marie, and Meredith Marie. My great-grandma, Ruth Marie, passed away while I was pregnant with Meredith. And, before Ruth Marie was Mable Marie. (I always knew God would bless me with a daughter... he'd have to for me to keep the Marie thing going.)
In September, my mom, sister, and niece came for a weekend of tomato canning. Pictured here are Meredith and Grace (5 months apart).
Jill and I peeled around 150 pounds of tomatoes!
After we peeled the tomatoes, Meema canned them in my hot kitchen. We made probably around 50-60 quarts of stewed tomatoes, salsa, and chili soup mix.
And while we worked, the girls played.

We're blog-lazy.
Reasons why Kelli hasn't updated the blog for a month:
1.) She's a teacher and school started August 24.
2.) Meredith has been sick a lot.
3.) She typically eats supper then goes to bed.
4.) She is pregnant and doesn't feel like doing anything. (baby coming March 21st-ish)
Reasons why Aaron hasn't updated the blog for a month:
1.) He's a teacher and school started August 24.
2.) He coaches boys and girls cross country.
3.) The Chicago Cubs are still playing (but not for long).
4.) NFL season started.
5.) His living room recliner is much more comfortable than the computer desk chair.
6.) He has to cook, bake, and do the dishes because Kelli won't [currently].
