Finally Fall!

It has been a long, busy summer and now it's finally fall! Fall's my favorite time of year because I think it's SO pretty, and after just having a baby, I'm looking forward to wearing bulky clothing to hide a little something something if you catch my drift!

Things are going well at the Ricks household, Emerson is almost two months old and she's super cute and super chubby! We love it! She's so much fun to dress up! Tatem loves his baby sister; he always wants to hold her and kiss her and as of yesterday, he's been consistantly calling her "GG" which I'm not sure what exactly that means, but it's pretty cute that he has something he calls his baby!

Tatem is still struggling with his speech so last week he had a development evaluation and was found on track in many areas but very behind in his communication so he'll be starting weekly speech therapy very soon. He is however getting better already so we're not too worried...yet. His favorite TV show is "Super Why" it's all about the alphabet and now he is obsessed with letters. Everywhere he sees a letter he gets super excited. He knows 11 letters names and loves to practice saying them. He might not know what a ball is but he knows "D dad!" and "G go!" So I guess that's something. We recorded a video of him saying his letters but upon review, I cannot post it because I look like I'm still expecting Emy. Bad angles, couldn't possibly be reality!

In other news, my little Bro Tyson just got his mission call last week to Sweden! He leaves November 14th and is so excited and probably nervous. We're so excited for him! He's going to do great! I'll try to post updates on how he's doing out there. So, before he leaves we wanted to go get some fun family pictures, these are literally the ONLY ones that turned out, thanks to my super photogenic children...maybe luck wasn't on our side because we took them inbetween conference sessions on Sunday! Ooops. But we did still watch conference in our defense!

I hope you all are doing well!
