Apple Picking

We visited an Apple farm for the first time. Emma had a blast jumping on the bouncy pillow and also picking apples with Daddy. We picked at the end of the season so the pickings were few.

We visited to Washington Farms for our annual pumpkin picking fun. It was so much fun to see Emma's enthusiasm. We picked 4 pumpkins, sunflowers and treated ourselves to peach and strawberry ice cream.

Sadie: Week 11

Savannah Trip

Greg had a long business trip so the girls and I took a trip down to Savannah. It was a long drive down and we stopped twice because of feedings and bathroom trips.

Emma slept in Mimi & Grandad's room in her blow up mattress and had a blast. Sadie and I slept in the guest bedroom. It was so nice to just lean over to put the pacifier in, instead of getting out of bed. Emma had so much fun with her great grandparents; she enjoyed riding the carousel and train at the mall, coloring, and playing at the playground. Sadie did great being passed from one person to the next.

Our trip home seemed to go a little more quickly; however, we did make 4 stops due to bathroom trips and 1 feeding.
