Pumpkin Patch

Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch was so much fun - again! The kids each had on their new Halloween shirts and the Lord blessed us with a gorgeous fall evening. We went after school on Friday night and enjoyed the mild temperature, clear blue skies, and magnificent colors across the countryside.









Joel picked this pose and I think it captured him perfectly. I can't believe how grown up he is getting. Each week he seems more grown up. I'm thankful that he still enjoys being with Dad and Mom. We sure do enjoy him!



We are excited that Jake is now able to smile on cue for the camera. This was the result of us yelling, "Yeah!!!" to help him smile. He matched our enthusiasm and managed to smile and look at the camera at the same time.


As soon as we arrived at the pumpkin patch I knew I wanted a picture of someone on top of this gigantic pumpkin, but at first no one seemed interested. After a few minutes, though, Kaylee was in full swing and she picked this spot for herself. I love her relaxed, smiley pose!
