Cold weather & Pumpkin Patches

I think it's officially cold weather here (you never know around here) and soon it will be too cold to venture outside too often. This will be hard for us, but I'm sure we'll bundle up when we can to take a walk or play in the snow. Here is Eli bundled up for a fall walk:



Eli visited 2 pumpkin patches in the last couple of weeks and had a fun time! The first one was in Iowa and was just up the road from Grandpa & Lola's house. I was with my sisters for Sarah & Steph's shower/bachelorette party so I didn't attend, but from the pictures you can tell it was fun!:










The 2nd pumpkin patch I did attend with him and it was at a local orchard. It was a Parents As Teachers event so we attended with our buddies Jack, Charlie & Callie. Here is Eli sitting next to Jack on the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch:


Picking out a pumpkin!:


After several attempts of finding (I mean throwing) the right pumpkin, I helped him find the perfect one:


Inside they had a train set....a little boy favorite:


Then we had a picnic lunch out in the field. It was a WONDERFULLY warm day so it was perfect:


The boys:


We'll have some great Halloween pictures, I'm sure, as we are attending 2 costume activities and then of course, trick-or-treating. Stay tuned to see what Eli chose to be this year! Have a good one!

Sorry!

Hello Eli fans! Just a little note that I WILL post sometime soon. I have been busy with work and was out of town last weekend so there just seems to not be enough hours in the day! Hope everyone is well!

Just some Eli fun....

This week consisted of taking some fun shots of our silly boy! Enjoy!

Eli's new activity....I mean obsession....is playing in the kitchen sink. We have to literally set the kitchen timer to encourage him to move on to something else before our water bill is sent through the roof! At least we know he'll wash dishes when he is older:

Wearing daddy's glasses is fun!:

And yes, Eli still loves to push around his stroller on walks:


Eli loves the older neighbor boys in our neighborhood. If he sees them outside he makes a quick bee line to play:

Enjoy your autumn week!
