We went to Frankenmuth, MI last week. I have been wanting to go there for a while and we finally had a day with nothing else to do. There is a store called Bronners there. I guess it is the largest year-round Christmas store in the US. I think the kids had fun but Scott and I left with headaches. There were a lot of different places to take pictures, but this is the spot Caden picked sooo...

Next, we went downtown. We had a lot of fun just walking to the different stores. It is a small Bavarian community with a lot going on. We stopped to watch them make fudge and had a taste along with some hot chocolate.

This is their famous covered bridge.

This is a blurry picture..., but the whole town is decorated for Christmas. There are horse and carriage rides. I loved it there. Caden wanted to shake the nutcrakers hand instead of take a picture.

I finally have a post ready! Scott has been away on interviews so I have so time (not working) to spend on this. I still struggle with how to set up these posts and get everything in order. Me and computers are not best buds >(... But it's Fall:) and a ton has happened since I last got a post together.

Caden started school and soccer. He has been doing so good in school and reading up a storm. Scott coached soccer, but I think Caden is going to need some time before he is interested in playing sports. He was more interested in running around with the kids than he was in trying to kick the ball into the goal. Maybe in the spring..

My uncle Tony and his family came to Detroit so we got to spend some time with them. We went to an apple orchard and went to Canada for the first time since we have been here. We live so close, but we have never had a reason to go.

Next my parents came and we had a fun weekend with them. We got to go the the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. It was a really fun, but fast weekend.

When Caden's costume came in the mail he spent a lot of time outside trying to learn how to fly. He dressed up Kali and brought her out a couple of times too.

Caden's school parade.

We went to the church's Trunk or Treat and there was a haunted house. Caden held Kali's hand so she wouldn't be scared. What a good big brother.

These are our neighbors. They are the best. The kids call them grandma and papa. If we move I will be so sad to leave them.

Halloween was fun. Caden was his superman and Kali was Dorothy. I had fun sewing Kali's costume and I really wanted to make Caden's too, but we found this one online for really cheap and he liked it so that is all that matters.

We have had fun with all the leaves.
