Welcoming Fall

After over a year, it's so nice to sit down and type out a blog post. I never meant to take a blogging hiatus, but as we all know, life gets busy and some things have to take a back burner for a while.  For now though, I'm back with lots to share (mostly cute kid pictures)!

We ushered in October with a trip to the pumpkin patch, a first for both boys and something that will definitely become a yearly tradition.  The boys loved it.  We went on a hay ride, swung on tractor swings (well, the boys did), saw some animals, raced rubber ducks down a water slide, and obviously chose some pumpkins to bring home.  Nixon ran around from one activity to the next with endless energy and enthusiasm, and Jack looked the part in his adorable overalls while trying to figure out what this place is and why pumpkins are so heavy.

Thanksgiving

We had a quiet Thanksgiving at home, with just the three of us.  We enjoyed a day of relaxing and family time, and Nixon thoroughly loved his first Thanksgiving dinner.

Getting ready to eat

Thanksgiving is hilarious (check out those teeth!)

Mmmm, cranberry sauce

Green beans won the favorite dish award

Sweet potatoes were a close second
