Maris Farms

Today we braved the weather and went to the Pumpkin Patch. Audrey, Erik, Rex, Ry and I went to Maris Farms. Audrey and I 's moms group was meeting up so we thought it would be fun. It was a blast, besides at one point it was raining sideways. It was fun to watch the little boys play, try to carry pumpkins and copy the noises that the animals were making. My favorite was when Erik tried to sound like a pig-it was toooo cute. Pigs are my favorite animals for those of you who do not know. It is so crazy, last year Audrey and I had to carry the boys around and the year before that we were pregnant. It is so amazing what a difference a year makes. Especially in these little guys lives. I was double emotional, these little boys are just getting so big. Erik is so important to us and I have truly loved watching him grow and change over the last 18 months. I love being apart of his life, and feel so Blessed. I love his infectious laugh, belly pat and how he reaches up for your hand. He is so sweet and I am thankful that Ry will always have him. I am sure that we will go another day too, well just to have an outing! For now here are some pictures.

It is about time.......

Fall is definitely in the air, how do I know you ask????? I turned on the heat and we had a fire last night (in the fireplace not in the outside fire pit). I honestly look forward to Fall, Fall is my favorite season. The good thing about a new season is that it is new and fresh. My house is all decorated with Fall decorations and we are heading out tomorrow to get pumpkins. Just to catch up on the last month or so. Ry is almost 19 months old. He is seriously a lover of life and all things. He loves to make animal sounds, run around and point at things and say WOW. He seems to always have something in his hands. He loves to read, play with tools and throw balls-and everything else. He has started to say No-which I really dislike. He seems to be more snuggly and gives kisses all the time. I have really enjoyed the last few months with him. It is amazing and challenging to watch him try to communicate with us. He is sometimes not very patient, but he is learning-as am I. He is all boy, all the time. He seems the happiest when he is going a million miles an hour or when life is busy around him. I adore and love him more each day. I am amazed how much our little man has taught me. As for life, well it has been busy. Some highlights have been October Fest at the Gonzales, Ryan feeding the seagulls and eating at Ivers in Seattle, several more weddings, the zoo and really good quality family and friend time. We have an amazing support system and I really have felt that lately. Well enough writing here are some fun pictures!!!!
