October

October seems to be flying by! We had a great time with Meredith while she was home for some of her Fall Break.  We all really missed her and it was great to spend some time with her! 

Also, when Pa stops by in the mornings, he and Bennett have some things that they regularly do.  She LOVES to play in his car (see above!), and they also collect sticks and stick them in the ground to create a "stick people family." They have gotten pretty elaborate lately.  I need to get a picture of that!!

Last night we all bundled up and walked up to Schnucks to rent a movie.  Bennett looked so cute in her hat from Great Grandma Caskey and her new fleece, that we had to snap a picture.  

In the spirit of Halloween, here is a picture of the spider that has been living on our deck.  Yikes! That thing is HUGE!!!

Bennett is continuing to do great with potty training! She now wears underwear all day long except for her naps and at night when she still wears a Pull Up.  She typically can stay dry at her nap, but is still wet in the mornings.  So that will be our next hurdle.  She's doing amazing though.  I can't believe how quickly she has gotten the hang of it! She is even using the potty at school and went while she was in the nursery at the gym the other day.  I'm so proud of her!!
