October catch up

Chris' sister Ashlyn came for a week during October. Unfortunately I was a rather pathetic host but since she is pregnant as well I think she was understanding. We had a fun week playing Carcassone, visiting Chris at the hospital, going out to eat, taking her to church to meet our friends, playing with the kids, and talking non-stop. We feel spoiled that she would want to come!

One afternoon we went downtown Columbus, dropped Katie off at ballet, and walked part of the RiverWalk while we waited for her class to finish. We took pictures by the Chatahoochee River and then more of the kids sliding down the hill. Several times when we have gone there the kids have found cardboard boxes laying against the railing. Now it's a tradition to slide down the steep hills and tumble off onto the grass. Ryan wanted to go from the very top... even Emily and Megan wanted to go over and over.

So if you come to Georgia, we may just have to take you sliding on the hill by the Chattahoochee. We couldn't get Ashlyn to do it for some reason.

Well, yes, we will definitely need the sliding down the hill on cardboard boxes experience. I'm so excited for Georgia Christmas of a Lifetime!

Looks like fun. Too bad I didn't get to experience the cardboard box slide. Just jokes. Luke looks so big playing peek-a-boo. I miss you guys!

How fun. I don't think I would be able to get Christian and Ryan off the "ride." Funniest part about your post, Christian is wearing that exact shirt today. And OHHHHH congrats to Ashlyn!

I live sliding down hills on carboard! The boys and I slide down the hill on our backyard. It is so fun.

I love how Megan is holding on to Ryan for dear life. I need to call you to see when your kids get out of school and if there is a time that will work for Chase to visit.
