Fall: In Pictures

I'm so behind on this blog I don't know where to start! My absolute favorite season is fall and it feels like it is nearly over now.  We had a busy one, but a really fun one.  

To kick the fall season off, we went to a cute little farm and picked apples one beautiful morning.  Amaia was great apple picker, but I do think her favorite part was getting lemonade after we were done.


Myself and a couple other moms started a little preschool group for our 3 year olds and it has been so much fun.  We take turns hosting and planning activities for the day and Amaia loves it.  She adores getting to hang out with her friends and it has been a really fun way for me to start getting more serious about learning activities too.


We went to the zoo nearly every Sunday morning.  I don't think I would be out of line saying the zoo is Amaia's favorite place to go, so we go a lot.  She loves feeding the goats and basically walking around like she owns the place.   Also new this fall she loves gift shops!  Ha.  I wonder where she got that from?? ;)


We went a family trip to see Adam's parents new home at Lake Tablerock, which is beautiful in the fall.  We got out on the boat a few times and did a lot of other fun activities.  Adam got to pet a lemur at the zoo we went to and we celebrated 6 years of marriage. It was the perfect trip and we are already looking forward to going back again soon.



Back at the zoo!  We went to Night Eyes at the zoo again this year.  I love this event for little kids.  Amaia was Elsa this year and Haddon was Charlie Brown.  I originally wanted them to be something that coordinated together, but the days of Amaia not caring about her costumes or clothing choices in general and far behind us now :)  Amaia loved seeing all the other girls dressed up at Elsa and the candy of course.


 And here are my little cutie pies on Beggar's night.  I decided that Haddon needed to be Charlie Brown this year, because he just looks the part.  If you are wondering why there are so few pictures of Haddon this fall, it is partly because this picture of him smiling and looking at the camera is Halloween miracle AND partly because he is pro-walker now and my boy is fast.



Oh and I'm still pregnant!  This is me at 28 weeks and trying to remember to document this pregnancy too!  This time around has definitely been the hardest on my body, but we are making it through! :)  
We found out that this baby girl has a similar hole in her heart to what Haddon had when he was born.  It came to us as a definite surprise, but we are praying lots of our little girl and trusting the Lord.  
I can tell that Amaia is excited about having a baby sister.  We talk about her and pray for her often and the kids almost always go the midwife appointments with me so they have playing "doctor" a lot and checking on the baby for me.  I kind of can't wait for January to be here, but I'm excited to celebrate the holidays with our family without the demands of a newborn too :)
