Harvest

Our favorite time of year!  Andrew looks forward to riding in the tractor with grandpa Dave for a long time and then he talks about it for months afterward.

 He is at home in a John Deere!

 Sylvia was excited too!  This was her first harvest.  Though she didn't get to ride in the tractor, she had a great time watching and listening.

 Dominic was a little cautious first (true to his personality) but warmed up a bit.  He still needed me to ride along with him.  It's nice to be needed!

Family Bike Ride

 Our new house will be right down the road from this awesome bike trail! We intend to get a lot of use out of it.  Andrew is such a good bike rider.  That's all he ever wants to do.  He can go up and down the sidewalk in front of our house all day long. 

 

 

 This was such a beautiful day that we just had to be outside enjoying nature.  The bike trail was a perfect place to do just that.

 Spending time together as a family is getting more and more enjoyable as the kids get older.  It is a joy to see them learning new skills and get excited about the simple things.

Watching the Progress Sept. thru November

Happy Birthday Buddy!  We had such a wonderful day celebrating you.  My favorite part of the day was watching you play with "Birthday Thomas" at the end of the night.  You loved you new train and thought you were so special now that you had your own birthday Thomas.  Andrew got one for his 2nd birthday and you never got to play with it.  So now, this one's all yours!  I think it is so cute how you always put your head down on the table or floor when playing with trains...like you want to see things from the train's perspective.
