Pumpkins

Our very own Pumpkin!!!! Last year after carving our pumpkins we planted the seeds in the backyard. Little did I know that pumpkins need to be planted in the spring/summer for full sun and heat to grow.......my bad. Well winter came and nothing happened. I actually forgot about the seeds that were planted. When summer rolled around weeds started to grow, well I thought they were weeds, but they were not weeds they were PUMPKINS. With excitement I ran to tell the kids we were growing pumpkins. As fall came only one pumpkin actually developed probably due to the location of the seeds as well as them being planted during the wrong season.
This is our one beautiful Pumpkin that grew!

Blankets made with Love!!!!
This was so much fun. Thanks to my MOMS group at Sea Coast Grace Church I learned to make these adorable blankets. We made baby blankets as a service project to give to a local shelter that takes in pregnant moms, and helps them get on their feet. The blankets were so cute I wanted to make some for my kiddos. That day I took the kids to the store to each pick out their own fabric. Ethan and Kara really enjoyed picking out what they wanted, and Ethan got to pick the fabric for Noah so he was really happy! Each blanket took about one hour to make and Ethan helped with all of them.

First Foods





Noah got his first solid food on Oct. 19th. I think he really enjoyed it. He also just loves sitting up in the high chair......just like a big boy. ; )
