"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

16 months

Ok this post is picture heavy so the grandmothers will be cheering, but everyone else will be scrolling fast.
We started this month out with an ear infection.  boo.  This picture captures how we he felt.  :(
I caught a few snuggling moments with bro and sis.  I'm hoping to show them these when they're arguing some day!

See if you can notice a theme to some of this month's pictures...

theme
Brother had to go on the PreK field trip.  Hmm...Pretty sure I'll pay a sitter before I do that again.
theme?
Our buddies Katie Mae and Drew had the cutest fall birthday party.  Clark was diggin the corn on the cob.
And this scene at the pumpkin patch with Clark's playgroup was just about the cUtEsT thing you've ever seen.  Yes, that's a banana, bee, shark, dragon, donut, lamb, dinosaur, and garden gnome!!!!  haha  Best costume, Miles.
Did he or didn't he just eat a pumpkin?

Brooks the clown was there too.  This is the best shot I could get of those two!

And then Griffy the skunk came along with Liam and Cullen the (chubby) skeletons. :)
Don't forget Snow White!
And then it started to rain.  But Clark didn't mind!  He started dancing.
Again, sister is the world's greatest comedian!

I really cannot believe he is so big. Seeing him walking all over the place still amazes me. He is supposed to stay little! :-( Time for another! :-)
