October was a crazy month. First I went on a girl's trip with my family, Tim's parent's came to town, we met Tim's brother's family in Nashville, I spoke in church (for the 2nd time in 6 months....BOOOOO!), I went to AZ with all 3 kids by myself (almost left Minnie in Phoenix) and then we moved to Florida. Holy crap I need a nap.
In Nashville, we went to a train museum and checked out some trains. This is Tim, Tim's brother Matt, and his dad Tom. Nashville is pretty cool and I would really love to go back. Anderson and Minnie LOVED hanging out with their cousins Lexi, who is 9, and Anna, who is almost 7. They loved playing and hanging out in the hotel room.
Tim and his brother Matt...every time Minnie sees a picture of Matt, she says, "Mom, there's dad."
We also had another exciting development...Minnie got glasses. Wow! She starting getting a lazy eye so we had our home teacher check it out, then to the Pediatrician, then the Pediatric Ophthalmologist...and a week later voila! She actually does pretty well with them and really only takes them off when they need to be cleaned. I promised her pink glasses but who'd a thought they wouldn't have ANY pink ones. The selection was rough...plus she's not on our vision insurance (seriously who puts their 2 yr old on their vision insurance just in case), so we just got some to last us till the new year.
Tim's parents came and we went to see the ducks at the Peabody. I love the inside of the Peabody and think it is so cool, a definite must if visiting Memphis.
We went to Boston for our girls trip and it was awesome. One day we drove up to Gloucester and Rockport, then back to Cape Cod. This is a lake we happen to drive by and stopped to take a picture. I have NEVER lived in a place where the leaves change and it is soooooo great! When we drove to Florida, we went through Alabama and it was beautiful!
Probably my favorite part of our trip was a "Ghosts and Goblins" tour we did at night around to the different grave yards in Boston. Our tour guide told us scary legends and tales about the Boston Strangler and places that were haunted. We eat that crap up! Plus, while you are waiting on the trolley, creepy people holding gross creepy animals come up behind you and scare you. It's hilarious.
Me and Kaci on the trolley. Her 4 month old Maggie came and was a trooper!
Kelli, Me, Kaci and Grandma Maxine. She was a TROOPER...she is 82 and didn't miss a beat.
(It's not letting me delete this picture for some reason) We ate, laughed, slept, and ate some more. We Coombs' are pros at those 3 things. My dad tagged along too, being the history buff that he is. It was fun to have him come, although I'm pretty sure he won't want to join the next one!
