A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

More Fall Adventures

Last weekend, Ian and I continued our fall adventures by going to the pumpkin patch. We invited Heather, Rob & Rowan and Mary, Mike, Sam & Abbie to join us, because family makes things more fun, especially family that also doubles as friends!

For being in the middle of the city, it's actually a pretty cool "pumpkin patch." They have tons of variety on the ground, so it looks like they are growing, and then they had lots for sale in huge tubs. Aren't gourds so pretty?
They also have lots of rides and concessions at the patch. We all bought some tickets and shared them around; I got to go on the train with the kiddos - it was a little tight, but Rowan didn't seem to mind my big pregnant belly sitting next to him. They loved the train. I thought you got a very good deal (too good of deal, if you ask me) in the number of rotations around the track the train made. May need to rethink that ride in the future. =)

Then Heather and I took the kids in the petting zoo. Abbie showed no fear as she petted the goats. In fact, she was very fond of petting their mouths.


Here are all three of the kids, checking out the pig. So cute! (The kids, not the pig.)

We got in some adult fun too - against all Vegas odds, Ian was able to beat on the game booths and one a tiny stuffed dog. Or is it a bear? Those cheap carnival prizes are not quite quality-made. But he still got the satisfaction of winning!



I wish we had gotten a picture of all of us, but somehow the kids got all the attention. We are quite the bunch though - I'm due on Dec. 8th, Heather is due in early March and Mary is due early April. Our next little batch of kids will all be in the same grade! So fun!!


Hope you're enjoying your fall adventures and traditions!
