Gull Meadow Farm

One sunny Sunday afternoon we headed out to Gull Meadow Farm with Papa, Nonnie, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Kristina, and Andrew.  The kids loved it!  They always look forward to apple picking and we enjoy eating them!  It was the first time that Papa was able to come and the kids loved having him there!

 

Something was interesting to the babies :)

Henry's photography skills aren't too shabby!

Love her

Henry

Once she got the hang of it she thought it was pretty fun!  She was very proud of herself.

Caroline was determined to have her picture taken in every one of these photo props.  She tried to drag cousin Andrew along with her.

Drew and Liney- bestest buds :)

Harvest Moon Acres

Henry's class had a field trip to Harvest Moon Acres and Caroline and I were able to tag along.  It was a beautiful fall day!  We had a great time exploring all of the fun stuff.

 

In the corn box

 

Playing life size Candyland

 

This little corn maze was cute.  Caroline gets her sense of direction from me and actually managed to get lost :)  She sat down and started crying "help, help!"

Picking out his pumpkin.

She was so very proud of her pumpkin!

Fall Fun

We've had lots of fun here this fall.  Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to!

 

We opened the pool so late this year that we kept it open much longer than we usually do.  Nathan and the kids took a dip the first weekend in October!

Miss Muffet thought she was hot stuff with her bowl of ice cream!

My errand buddy :)

Caroline loves to play with her babies.  She decided that baby needed some cereal (lots of it!)

Henry wanted to skip his nap to watch the Michigan game one Saturday afternoon.  It was not a very exciting game!

Cindy Lou-Who :)  The boys found this hilarious!

Not much is better than a donut after preschool.

Lost tooth number 5!

Henry is SO good at pretend play.  He spent one whole morning playing little people in the basement.

 

Nathan took the boys to a Michigan game one Saturday.  They loved it!

This sweet boy is growing up way too fast.  His latest passion is football.  He has become obsessed with watching the Lions and Michigan and loves to throw the football around in the front yard.

Love the boy he has become (and sort of miss the baby he used to be!)

This crazy animal developed a ear hematoma and required surgery.  While under he also had a tooth pulled, teeth cleaned, and a lump on his arm removed.  I put it on here only so that I can remember that this was the fall we debated the worth of his life :)  I think he needs to get a part time job...

 

Soccer

Tommy played soccer again this fall.  It was a fun season for a couple of reasons: the weather was absolutely gorgeous for all of his games, and he started to really "get it" and was very intense and focused.  It's been fun to watch him become more coordinated and aggressive.  Go Tommy, go!

 

Some of his fans :)

His team!
