I love October!

I love October! The weather starts getting colder, you get to go pick out pumpkins and go on hayrides.... it's just fun!

Yesterday we took Bella to go pick out a pumpkin and unlike last year....

... there was no crying or pouting! :)

She had lot of fun looking at all the pumpkins but mainly enjoyed playing on the church playground nearby.

Mom asked Bella to kiss the horse, afterwards Marc said they were going to have to have a little talk about kissing! :)

When we got home, we got to work carving our pumpkins. Bella helped dig out the pumpkin guts and also thought she might have a little taste.

Moving Day!

YEA!!! We are finally in our new house. Last Wednesday was our first official night. There is still a lot to be done but for the most part, we have our little nest set up.
