a week in review - part one...

ryan had the last week off and we were able to travel and see family and friends and just enjoy being together. i treasured our week as a family...

the first few days...





were spent at my parents' house and lily couldn't get enough of the leaves!

we took a family trip to a nearby pumpkin patch that had tons of goodness for kids!

doesn't get much cuter than this, does it?


they had big boxes filled with thousands of corn kernels for the kids to play in. lily adored it!


lily loved the baby animals and did a very accurate pig imitation that sounded nothing like the typical "oink!"




soaking up some time with muffy!


colin and stefanie and kathy made the trip out to the patch with us!


choosing her very own pumpkin (which she thought was fun to throw like a ball. i do understand the confusion, but the poor pumpkin took a beating!)
