Apples and Pumpkins

We celebrated the first day of Fall by going to the Apple Orchard! It was a perfect day, with the perfect weather. Crisp and not a cloud in the sky. Strolling around the orchard, taking bites of apples that had fallen off the tree, riding on the "cow train," picking out gourds, eating lunch by a pond under a willow tree, and then apple doughnuts for dessert. Sweet memories made.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Around Here Lately

Eleanor is still continuing her potty training. She is having a good number of accidents, but we press on. Many days she spends just in undies and nothing else (well, except a bow of course!).

 

And Thatcher Reid (the children call him by his first AND middle name. I have no idea why!).....well, he is loving his solids. Last week I took a couple hours at the end of the day and made a ton of home made purees. He is loving it.
 

And Hampton loves his toboggan!
 

The perfect spot to relax......
 

And one afternoon called for my favorite chocolate chip bundt cake....and Everett got to lick the spoon.
 

A make shift tent.
 

And Thatcher is sitting up so well now! He likes his new view. Eleanor is "reading" to him here.
 

 

 

 

 

 

And this girl knows how to relax. This is HER chair and she will let anyone know that it is hers-ha.
