Apple Picking



We braved the rain and went apple picking with my friend Emily and her family. Emily and I have talked about apple picking together ever since we were living in France. Her family has made it an annual event for the last 25 years! We had fun, despite the downpour, and despite the fact that picking apples while holding a wiggly baby is next to impossible. Nevertheless, we ended up with a couple of pounds of apples and Jack has been enjoying homemade applesauce for the past few weeks.

At the Pumpkin Patch

Our little Pumpkin Patch Kids!

We went to Lone Pine Farm with our friends MaryAnne, Jeremy, and Lily. The kids were very patient and let us take tons of the obligatory pumpkin patch photos.

Jack wasn't sure about the goats at first (they are pretty creepy!), but he warmed up after awhile.

Mr. Piggy


One thing is for sure: Jack loves to eat! He seems to like everything, especially sweet potatoes. The messier the better! He's also discovered drinking water out of a sippy cup, which was great until we realized that the diapers get soaked very quickly now. In other news, it's been a little hectic around here with me going back to work and Brent starting his fabulous new job and Jack starting daycare. Thanks to some generous family members, Jack will be attending his "school" three days a week rather than five (thank you Mary and Mishaun!!). Starting Jack in the daycare has been a stressful experience for us (the parents), however Jack seems to be handling it all just fine. He likes the other kids, the "teachers" are nice (and they are okay with cloth diapers- yay!) and they have about a million toys... what more could a 7 month old ask for? Also, he's crawling now so that makes his life a whole lot more fun. Not a graceful crawl, mind you, but more of a beached sealion sort of forward movement. Still, he gets from point A to point B and that's all that matters. Suddenly I'm very glad our house is so small-- easier to baby proof!

Thanks to our friend Jeremy for the headbands, we did not have a kite but we had our headbands!
