Isabelle Leigh Kotter

Isabelle Leigh Kotter was born on Tuesday, November 20 at 2:27 AM. Kryssi woke me up at about 12:30 AM that morning, saying we need to get to the hospital now. Two hours later, we had a new baby.

She’s healthy and happy, sleeps okay (depending on the night) and we are so happy to have her in our family!

Fall pictures

One morning we had a bunch of turkeys in our front yard. These turkeys have been around most of this year but they usually are further down the lane, close to Ehler’s. And normally we only see 3 or 4 but there were at least 10 in our yard that morning

Beautiful sunset
First snow of the season. It was mostly raining so it was really wet snow.

Carving pumpkins

Our pumpkins didn’t grow super great this year in our garden but we had enough for the kids to carve
Samuel had no problem cleaning out his pumpkin but he wanted nothing to do with it once I started carving it
These two eventually got their pumpkins cleaned out, though they weren’t happy about it

The next morning it was really foggy and the moon was still big and bright as I walked the kids down the lane
