Fall is in the air!

I love this time of year. The air is cooler and days are shorter... all which mean that winter (my favorite season) is getting closer. We have been spending the past few Saturdays in Ruidoso working on our new cabin. We have been enjoying getting it ready for our family. We have not felt adventuresome enough to stay the night yet, as sleep is very precious with a newborn.

Dathan LOVES Thomas the train and James with his coal car. Today I made a very simple bridge out of cardboard for the trains to go over and Dathan played with it for nearly 2 hours!

Kacy at 1 month.
Our little cabin in the mountains.
Dathan playing on a "Choo Choo" in Cloudcroft. He continues to be enthralled with trains, tractors, trucks, firetrucks, etc. He calls Kacy's bottle "Baby Bobble" and has learned the unfortunate word "My...". Often when Dathan is playing with his tractors he will do something to them, place a sock on one of them, have one attacking the other, or anything unusual, and he will say "What's tractor doin'?". He is full of spunk and has a great sense of humor. He tries to use his big blue eyes and cute smile to persuade me to take him to the park, for candy or whatever he may want at the moment. Dathan also loves to scream and has been enjoying this vocal experiment for the past couple of weeks. Chad and I feel as though we have lost a bit of our hearing from this high pitched high volume scream. We will not miss this stage of his development!
