Pumpkin Patching

The Red Barn is an October tradition.

We didn't make it to Pumpkinland this year which felt a little blasphemous, but three times at Jaker's Jack-o-Lanterns seemed to make up for that lack.

By far our favorite pumpkin of the season:

Love this tradition and these friends!

Fall Photos

Here are several hundred pictures from this fall. Because I want these happy moments on the record.

Halloween "campout" with lots of our cute neighbors...

 Annual outing to the Red Barn with H&R and K...

started painting walls (still not finished)...

Thanksgiving...

Spencer carried a handful of berries home from our morning walk in order to make a mud pie for the birds.  Those moments in the sunshine are one of my favorite memories of that day.

Ah, hindsight.  Looking back on these photos makes me feel like our fall was so serene and contented.  =)  In reality, it was rushed.  And pretty crazy hard work.

But I guess that's what made our slow moments extra sweet.  And our holidays so happy.
