Leaves, Leaves, Everywhere...

Now that fall is here we have been spending a lot of time outdoors trying to reign in our leaf problem. The boys, however, do not see it as a problem and love playing in the leaves.

Quinn is not yet interested in the leaves 

 

We also made a visit to St. Ambrose to visit Kaylee for family weekend.  We had a great time...highlights included swimming in the hotel pool, running on the practice football field and spending time with family.

Also, happy 19th birthday to Aunt Kaylee!! Love you!!

Pumpkin Patch!

Last weekend, we headed to Hollowayville for the day for Golden family pictures.  After the pictures (and a quick nap), we went to Boggio's Orchard to enjoy the pumpkin patch.  The boys and Quinn had a great time and were excited to hang out with their cousin Elsa!

The whole crazy family

One Month Old!!

Quinn turned one month old yesterday.  Everyone is adjusting well to our new addition.  It's made easier because Quinn is a pretty easy baby...and decent sleeper.  Let's hope this trend continues.

Time for your checkup...

Quinn had her 2 week check up on Thursday.  She's up to 8 lbs 6 oz...still smaller than her brothers were at birth!! She's grown half an inch and her head size is still on the large side (87th percentile).  Overall, she is doing great and making the transition to three kids quite a bit easier.

God's Child

Really going against our normal tradition, we baptized Quinn this weekend.  Normally we would wait until she was at least six months old but since Jack was being baptized, we figured why not combine the two baptisms.  We were honored that Gina, Kaylee and Michael agreed to be Quinn's godparents.  It was a great celebration of two great kids!!

Quinn is wearing the same gown I was baptized in (along with my sisters and mom!) 

 Jack's turn!!
