September/October At Our House

I love Fall. I love the bright blue skies and chilly morning air that lingers until early afternoon. I love the spices and find their way into different baked goods of the seasons, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger. I love the comfort food that comes with colder nights and the way you just want to snuggle up with a good book and a cup of cider. This fall in the Stover House we have had many of those wonderful evenings at home as a family, we have also had a number of fun outings celebrating different things. Here are a few snapshots of our family over the past 2 months!
Here is one of those cosy evenings at home where Annsley was helping with the laundry.








We had a blast the the Hitscherhof Farm Fest, Annsley didn't really know what to do with the big pumpkins.

More BIG pumpkins!




Annsley this time playing in the laundry basket.



The beginning of October I accidentally bumped the trailer hitch of the car parked on the other side of my parking space (in my defense he was sticking into my lane and the hitch was so low I couldn't see it). Both of the cars were fine but the bump unlocked the license plate holder, I thought the plate was screwed in like they are back in the states so I didn't worry to much about it, well as I was driving home the plate fell off, and was nowhere to be found. Long story short, Luke, bless him, was able to get it all sorted out with the police, auto registration and I was back on the road a few day later. In the mean time though we did a lot of car seat juggling and Annsley found a new toy to play with in the house....
We also ran the local Breast Cancer Awareness 5K, the whole family, this weekend.
Before the race...
Aunt Natalie ran it with her coffee shop co-workers and their team won second for the Spirit Award, dressed up in fun costumes.
Luke and Annsley after the race, all smiles!
It has been a busy last few months and we are looking forward to the rest of the beautiful autumn here in Germany and moving into the Holiday season!
