There's a spider on my cheek...EEK!

October is here. Really? When did that happen? Yet it did. We are singing Halloween songs at our singing group and the leaves are s.l.o.w.l.y... starting to turn colors. The wooded view behind our house will be something to behold in a few short weeks.

We enjoyed a round of General Conference. It's a whole new ball game watching it with a child but at least we stayed awake!

We are also avid football watchers now. Sometimes Alyssa participates (as seen below). The bummer thing is that we usually stay up way toooo late, especially during home games. For example: this week's game starts at 8:15 PM MDT (yes I'm sure) so that means 10:15 PM EDT. I guess it means I can still go to stake conference AND watch football...

 On Friday we went on adventures. We went to Wilmington and walked the "Riverfront." This is something that is happenin' place in San Diego, San Francisco and probably even Atlantic City, but it's not really such a crowd pleaser in Delaware. Either way the weather was nice and we got to see a tree huggin' environmentalist land place. It was well landscaped and built in a swamp...don't hurt the turtles :)

Alyssa's also been sporting quite the wardrobe. 

 

We still eat cookies...lots of them. Alyssa is starting to help make them! She's quite the chef. I have to add less liquid because she does such a good job of drooling in them. These particular cookies were snickerdoodles and for the FIRST time EVER they were not hard, thankyouverymuch! (Oh and please note the chandelier in our new apartment...yes it's gold and it does not hang straight.)
