Pumpkin Time!

Halloween is in a few days, so we decided to visit a local pumpkin patch - aka the Presbyterian church a few blocks away - and get ourselves a pumpkin. People must have heard about this whole pumpkin tradition, because it was pretty slim pickins at the church. We did get a pumpkin, but since it was awfully windy and chilly, we made a short trip of it. Here are a few shots of our little pumpkin on the hunt for the perfect gourd.

Someone is turning 2!

Thanks to a trip from the Texas contingent, Lily had her 2nd birthday party a few days early. She didn't mind a bit. We all had a great time on Sunday, and the weather could not have been more perfect. We borrowed a bounce house from the neighbors (they own one!) and all of the kids had a blast. We noshed on yummy sandwiches and delicious cake. The big hit of the day was the retro pink kitchen that Lily got for her birthday. My favorite part was hearing her yell"birday!!!" over and over again. Here are a few choice pictures from the day!
