A Fall Hike

Earlier this month, on a chilly fall morning, we headed to the woods. Tommy wanted to bring his bike and insisted on wearing his helmet in the car. We walked quickly but stopped often to collect acorns, look at leaves, admire mushrooms, and find the perfect stick. After our hike, Tommy felt like playing some music, so he serenaded Piper (formerly "Puppy") with a song on the mandolin.

Mimi and Pa's Visit

Back in September, Mimi and Pa came for a weekend visit. We had a ton of fun playing in the river, hanging the beautiful curtains that GG made for us, catching frogs, building a sandcastle in the sandbox, and taking pictures of Tommy sleeping in his tent. So glad we finally have room for people to stay with us!

Apple Picking

This past Saturday was Gramma's birthday! To celebrate, we got up early, packed up the car, and headed to Carter Mountain for some apple picking. Tommy had a great time picking some perfect Fuji apples, running through the pumpkins, riding on the wagon, drinking some apple cider, eating apple cider donuts, and most of all, spending time with Gramma! So begins a new tradition for our family. Looking forward to many more to come!

Sandbridge 2010

Although we didn't have a full week in sunny Sandbridge, we quite enjoyed our few days playing in the sand and surf. Unfortunately, Tommy "swiced" his finger on a can on the Friday night before we left for the beach on Sunday. It was definitely a challenge changing the bandage, but despite a few screaming episodes (I quickly learned to change it at night while he was sleeping - piece of cake!) he had a fantastic time jumping over the waves, digging digging in the sand, and playing with all the family that gathered to soak up the sun. Here are some pictures from our adventures!
