Go figure- a lot has been going on. Halloween has come and gone, Collins just turned 4 months old, and Rowan has conquered strep throat!
Ro is also a great newspaper gofer. She loves helping out with tasks. And she's really excited about baking, especially eating the dough... No pics because we are
usuallyalways too messy.
Cool girl here is running errands.
Pumpkin patch. Duh.
Moving on to the fall festival at church. Rowan LOVED it.
Little Minnie Mouse- walking in.... First thing she spotted:
The slide!
Check out the line behind her... She was at the very top. It was literally about 20ft high, so it took her little 2yr old legs a while to get to the top!
There she goes!!!
On the "train"
Sweet sisters.
Next we moved on to YaYa's school festival. Face painting here... But we didn't have enough patience to finish- oh well. The best part was YaYa getting dunked in the tank. Rowan wanted to "take a bath" with her! Ha. Oh, and we came home with two goldfish. One didn't last 24hrs, but the Lone Ranger left is named "oooooorange".
Matching jammies.
What's wrong baby Collins? Maybe that was a little too aggressive on the hug.
Then my poor Rowan got strep throat. If you know her, this picture is completely uncharacteristic- not because she is in the baby's seat, but that she is sitting still! I knew something was wrong. Thursday she ate nothing but 5 saltine crackers and a little pedialyte, ran a low grade fever, and was pretty puny. I took her to the dr on Friday and after her strep came back positive she was started on amoxicillin. A few days later, Rowan was good as new. I was really concerned this would require some "liver" treatment (IV, hospital stay, labs, etc) but nope! Treated just like any other normal kid--- praise The Lord! Here she is at the worst:
Weird that she wouldn't eat anything, but she wanted peanut butter...
Much sweeter loving this time. I am obsessed with matching PJ's. they are SO CUTE!
Halloween was a huge success. Rowan loved the trick or treating and passing out candy... Unless you had a scary costume on.
Eyeing the street to see who was coming...
At about 7 she said she was ready to "go home".... We were on our front porch already. So, she went inside, took a bath, and passed out! She missed all the real action- ha!
Hard to tell, but there's ketchup all over her face- she's obsessed with dipping.
School is still wonderful. She can say the entire ABC's and count to 12 or 13. She's really good at picking out all the letters and numbers from the magnets on our refrigerator. Annnnd Madagascar Ffffrreeeee (3) is our favorite movie due to the fireworks song/dance scene.
November 29th will mark her 2 YEAR TRANSPLANT ANNIVERSARY!!!! WoooooHoooo!
We are again having a blood drive in her honor- this year at our church!

Rowan and so many others wouldn't be here today without these selfless gifts.
We have SO much to be thankful for, and are so extremely blessed.
Hope you and your family are doing well....
