Hanging Around the House

Along with all of our fall adventures, we've had plenty of fun times around the house, too. Yardwork and climbing on furniture outside, and "camping" inside have been big hits, as has dressing up! These boys know how to keep themselves (and us!) busy.

I neglected to give a report on Teddy's 15 month visit--he's up to 29 lbs and 34 inches, and is in the 95% and 99% for weight and height. His verbal skills are blossoming and he loves repeating any word he hears. He recently added baby, happy, help (and even says, "hep, Mama" when coming down stairs), Sadie, come, hoo-hoo, dump truck and choo-choo to his vocabulary. He loves animals--especially cats (mow-mows) and horses (neigh-neighs) and trains and trucks, and playing dress up!

Feeling Fallish

It has been a gorgeous fall in New England, and we have taken full advantage of the beautiful weather with trips to the farm, hayrides, nature walks, apple activities, eating cider donuts, and finally--today's adventures to Smolak farms for some pumpkin pickin' fun!

The boys bounded out of the car to run around and pick out the best pumpkins in the patch. Teddy tried to be the world's strongest baby and pick up some very large pumpkins, and Pierce loved running through the old sunflower patch and checking out the "pumpkin tree". Both kiddos loved the hayride through the orchards, especially when a small frog jumped out of a tree and onto the shoulder of a fellow passenger--too funny. We fed the deer at the petting zoo, and enjoyed a picnic lunch before heading home.

Everyone enjoying the hayride!
