First Winter Walk of the Season


We had our first winter walk of the year. What happened to fall, may I ask?!!! Hopefully it will come back after this bout of winter weather. But, we pulled out all our winter stuff and went for a walk anyways. I have to say it was really cold - I was not ready for such a temperature change so quickly!

Halloween Practice

Our kiddos love dressing up for Halloween and trick or treating! They know Halloween is coming in a few more weeks, so they had to get out their costumes and get them "warmed up."

Apple Picking

Some sweet friends let us go up to their orchard this weekend and pick apples when my parents were in town. We had such a great time! It was beautiful weather! The apples were perfectly ripe! And there were tons of them. It was SUCH A TREAT!!!!
Zeke wanted his turn eating an apple, but he had to wait until it was in a different form. He needs a few more teeth. Well, actually, he needs teeth - he doesn't have any yet. He loved it once he got his chance.



Jojo was having such a great time picking apples that he started crying when we told him it was time to go. We hadn't given him a "5 minute warning" and he was devastated that he couldn't pick any more apples. So, we gave him a "5 minute warning" and he picked his heart out for the whole 5 minutes!

We had such a great time! However, the weather cooled off significantly that night - it got down to 16 degrees at this orchard - and our friends lost all the rest of their apple crop. So sad!!! Such beautiful apples - we are SO GRATEFUL we got to pick some before it froze.











Zeke and Bopa


Grandma and Bopa came to visit this weekend. We had a great time! I just had to share this picture of Zeke and Bopa. It is a wonderful picture!
