Pumpkin picking

On Tuesday John was off from work, the weather was beautiful, and we had some fun activities planned. Anabelle had her 1 month well baby visit to Dr. Andy. She is doing great, weighing in at 10lbs 6oz and 22 inches long. She did have to get 1 shot, her HepB vaccine, but she took it like a champ only crying for a second.

After the doctor it was time to go to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkin, we drove about 45 minutes to Didier Farm in Deerfield. It wasn't as good as Quig's Orchard that we used to go to, sadly they closed, but it was ok. We thought it would be less crowded being on a weekday, but we forgot about the school children who were visiting. It made me remember when I used to take my students to the pumpkin patch, those were some of my favorite field trips. Anabelle helped us look through all of the pumpkins picking out a big one to take home. After that we had to stop by the bake shop and load up on apple cider, corn on the cob, homemade cheese popcorn, and apple cider donuts-Yum!!

Hi Grandma Jackson! Look I'm wearing the Halloween shirt you got me, it's so cute!

A beautiful Fall day!

She is adorable! Enjoy these days when you can bring her everywhere. I remember some night were I'd be carrying Moses in a crowded bar and he'd be fast asleep. That doesn't last forever! Congratulations!
