Abe the BEAST
Abe had his first swim meet on the 8th. He did really well! They had him swim 4 races, which is a lot for 1 meet. Most people only do 2-3. He swam 100 meter butterfly and also did the same stroke in the relay. This was really impressive because he only learned how to do it the week previous to the races. He placed pretty much every time... I believe. Abe's second meet was this past Saturday and he was pretty much awesome. He got first in his freestyle heat, YAY!! He's doing great with his swimming and has just started practicing with Radnor High School. Apparently it's really intense (which basically means swimming laps for almost 2 hours straight).
We're so proud of the little bugger, although he isn't really little any more, he's taller then me!! ☺
The Twins are 9!!!
November 8th was Abigail and Rebekah's 9th birthday!! To celebrate their big day we had made a morning trip to the Peter Wentz Farm's Apple Scrapple event. It was sort of rainy outside so there weren't many other people. We took a tour of the farm house, saw the inside of the smoke house (they were smoking almonds!), looked at the museum and animals, learned how to make Apple Butter, plumb pudding and scrapple, and of course sampled and bought a variety of fruit butters. The girls then went to the Relief Society Craft Day and made little hair clips and other crafts. When we finally got home the girls cleaned the house in 11 minutes! and on their birthday too!! Their dinner was chicken wings and french fries and the day was finished off with the movie "Anne of Green Gables". Abby and Bekah both seemed extremely happy about being 9.

Pumpkin Eating Squirrels
Our poor beautiful pumpkins were mutilated by the squirrels. In the end they were so messed up that Abe just dragged them out back and shot them up with arrows. Darn those vermin!
In the early stages....
