A picnic in October?

Who would have imagined that we would be having a nice warm picnic amongst the piles of falling leaves in our backyard? Sunny and 89 degrees. What a beautiful day for an October picnic!

"My Other Child"

We visited some friends today. They had just bought Guitar Hero and my "other child" had a great time! It was quite entertaining!

Growing Up

I realize that kids grow quickly, although today it really hit home. We had such a great time together, and I watched them realizing that before we know it our kids will not want to play with us anymore. What a sad thought! I guess we just need to enjoy every minute that we have with them, huh?!

New Tricks

Sit


Roll Over

Maybe someday we'll teach him fetch, too.

Fall Leaves

Lauren has been impatiently waiting for the leaves to fall. We finally have enough on the ground to rake together into a pile. She is ecstatic! Todd and I are not - raking leaves is not one of our favorite activities!

Pumpkin Patch

The in-laws came for a visit today and we thought that we would do something different. We had found a new pumpkin patch/cider mill about 15 minutes from our house that looked interesting. We thought that we would give it a try. Wow! I don't know that words can describe the place - they were supposed to have their very own "field of dreams" that looked more like an overgrown nightmare. Anyway, we still enjoyed the company and took a few pictures. I guess we'll continue to look for family entertainment elsewhere.

Our Little Mommy

Lauren has been a big help with Andrew. She has even been helping feed and change him lately. She is so cute to watch with her dolls - she treats them just like she does Andrew. She has been putting them for naps, playing peek a boo and even breastfeeding her babies! What a great helper!
