Happy Halloween!!

 Happy Halloween.... bzzzz!!  Our little bumble bee had a very low-key Halloween this year.  We visited John's great Aunt Virginia, ate dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's, and visited John's Uncle Tom and Aunt Bridget's house for their Halloween party.  Hannah didn't mind wearing her costume at all.  She endured us having to take her in and out of it multiple times to fit in her car seat.  All in all, it was a fun night!

Fall Fun in PA

Hannah and I took a nice little trip back to PA to spend some time with family.  Our flight and traveling was very smooth.  Hannah is such a trooper and did so good on the flights.  She is becoming quite the frequent flyer!

We spent a beautiful fall day at the Farmer's Daughter pumpkin patch where we played on the hay barrels, went on a hayride, found our way through the corn maze, and had lots of fun together.  We were able to all get together and it was such a blast.  All the kiddos had so much fun together!

                           All the kiddos together, not too bad trying to get them to all look at the camera!

Andrew was playing in a baseball game, we were so excited to be able to watch him play!  Once again, another beautiful day to be outside.  (minus the bees...)

Fun times just hanging out with the family.  Hannah is such a lucky girl to have cousins who love her so much, and can't wait to be with her whenever we come into town.

What a wonderful trip we had!  Time just flies by too fast when we're together, but I know we are always grateful for any time we get to spend with each other.  Already looking and trying to plan our next trip!!  We love you guys, thank you for everything!

Pumpkin Pickin

We spent the early evening checking out the pumpkins Grandpa had growing out at the farm.  Hannah enjoyed playing with the gourds and the dirt.  You were so tiny last year when we checked out the pumpkins, here is the post from last year's pumpkin pickin.  It was a very nice day and I'm glad we could get outside and enjoy the fresh air.  


  
    
 
   

Uncle John's Cider Mill

This was my 1st time ever at Uncle John's Cider Mill.  I've been bugging John for years to take me, but he never has.  We met Anna, Teagan, Jen, Brady, Breslin, Mrs Y, Mr Y, and Christina at Uncle John's.  It was a nice day, it turned out much warmer and sunnier than they were calling for.  The kiddos had a great time playing and the adults had an even better time watching them and chatting.  It's times like these that I really enjoy.  Spending the day with friends, having our kids play together, and enjoying each other's company.  I love getting together with my Spartan sisters whenever we can!!
