Pumpkin Patch

Today we went with our friends, the Earls, to a pumpkin patch called Bottomview Farms. We actually took Connell there when he was six months old. After our trip today, I was looking at those pictures of our little pumpkin...wow...how things have changed!

It was a truly beautiful day, and it was Amber's birthday! After the pumpkin patch, we enjoyed some yummy mexican food while watching the end of the exciting Notre Dame football game. Go Irish! These will be the only pics you see of Emma from the pumpkin patch...she slept thru the whole outing!

Our Girl is One Month Old!

It's hard to believe Emma has already been here a month! The month of September has come and gone and now Fall is upon us! I am looking forward to strolling the BIG double stroller around outside and enjoying this weather.

During Connell's first year, on his monthly "birthday" I would put him in his green chair and take a picture so I could watch him grow. I am doing the same thing with Emma! Here is the one month pic - and just for fun - I'm posting both my babies!

Birthday Bash!

We have a lot of September birthdays in our family. This year, one of them was a milestone. Grandpa (my Dad) turned 60! Sorry Dad - blabbing your age on the blog. But you are an awesome 60! This past weekend, we had the family in town to celebrate. My brother and sister-in-law and Chandler came from Asheville and my Aunt and Uncle flew in from Milwaukee. We had the most fun! Of course, it's a little hectic with 2 two year olds and a newborn in the house, but we had lots of adults to offset the craziness! We were also celebrating LisaMarie and Mom's birthdays too!

Cousins!

Yes, it's a pink cake for a MAN's b'day, but it was the most delicious strawberry cake ever!

Perfect fall weather for the playground!

Sisters!

Chandler and the ladies!

The fam!

(Great) Aunt Marge & Emma - and yes, she is sucking her thumb! Maybe she has already learned a habit from her brother!

Random pics...

Here are some good pics from the second half of September. I am not really good about keeping up with blogging right now, but didn't want these pictures to go unseen!

Sweet Taylor holding Emma!

Three Weeks Old!

Emma is 3 Weeks old today! She is growing and changing and starting to keep those pretty eyes open more!
