Pumpkin Patch









This last Sunday, Ted, Aunt Jessy, Aunt Jenny, Noah and myself drove up to Lawrence for our free Pizza Hut pizza for the month of October and then headed off to Shaake's Pumpkin Patch. It was a little windy that day but we wanted Noah to experience his first pumpkin selection. We did not however plan well for all of the pumpkins we found as we did not have a wagon or stroller or wheel barrel to place them in. A mental note was made so that in the future we would be prepared. The pumpkins seemed to be on the smaller size this year which worked perfectly for Noah - we found the perfect small pumpkin. Noah was all smiles once we got back home and got ready for bed. He enjoyed holding his pumpkin which will be carved later. We got a great family photo opportunity that we didn't pass up. As you can see it was very windy that day. Other pics were of our trip through the patch trying to find the best pumpkins to carve.

Go JAYHAWKS!!!!



Yes, Noah and Ted were watching the KU game this last weekend. Noah was all decked out in his KU attire-KU onesie, jean shorts and KU shoes!!! As you can see from the pic he is listening for the KU chant song as we did our victory dance at Uncle Darren's and Aunt Jenny's house(who by the way are K-State fans). It actually turns out that Noah has found his ears and enjoys playing with them when he remembers they are attached to the side of his head. We celebrated Uncle Darren's 29th birthday this saturday and played on his Wii....which was very fun and I would like to have one some day. On the very same day Noah turned 5 months old, which we celebrated by playing Wii at Uncle Darren's. Darren was so helpful after several drinks to show us how to play Mario cart and skiing. We hope that Darren had a great birthday!!

Gotta do some catch up...




We are a little behind on the fun things we have been up to recently so I am gonna try to catch up. We actually did more fun things the weekend we were back in Manhattan. It was the celebration of Uncle Bob's 90th birthday!!!! I, ironically, don't have any pictures of him but did take some of Noah and his cousin Claire. Claire is getting ready to turn 1 year old this friday. They seemed to enjoy staring at each. The last pic is of my Aunt Linda's cat, Dunkin. Isn't he huge???? He is like a small dog...I just love how enormous he is.
