It's a great day for Peek-a-Boo

Aunt Anna (Auntie Mims) stopped on her way back from fall break to have lunch with us today. I packed the diaper bag, and left it by the front door. Usually I can dig something up out of my purse to keep her occupied...toys, snacks, something...not today. My purse was unusually clean, leaving only one option..

Yep, peek-a-boo with a plate

And it was quite successful, as well as her own personal water cup. And though there is no hard evidence, she was extremely friendly today. Everyone she met was the greatest, nicest and most attractive (or interesting) person to look at EVER. I think she was almost intimidating with her staring antics. Have a happy peek-a-boo day!

To the Pumpkin Patch we go!

As we were walking through the pumpkin (punkin as some say) patch, I was reminding Luke of our first Halloween together. We went to this same pumpkin patch with our church friends. So no - I did not cut my hair. Picture to the right, circa 2007. Anyhow, we were reminiscing about how everything was SO exciting during that first year of marriage. Our first Halloween season, our first Christmas, ect, ect. So this past cold, dreary Monday afternoon, I decided to drag our little family of 3 out of the house and into the pumpkin patch. I told Luke I wanted to pick our own pumpkin, as a family. I told him to pull Maddie in the wagon. My husband humors me so well! I couldn't help but feel that first-year-marriage excitement all over again. Everything is a first with Maddie and I fully intend on being excited about it.

Off we go! Let's find a pumpkin!

Found one!

My pumpkin pickers, happy with their choice!

(and both ready for a nap)

If you know Maddie at all...you can guess where the picture following this is headed...

Must EAT pumpkin!!!

Yay for Fall!! I am in love with this time of year, and loving sharing all the seasons and celebrations with my first for all of her firsts!!
