It is Fall!

Here are some pics I took while outside enjoying the weather! I just the colors of the trees this time of year! Just wish this weather would last until spring.

Pumpkin Patch

We took the boys to two pumpkin patches. Yesterday we went to David's school's patch and pick 5 pumpkins of Davids liking. They had a Bounce house the boys really enjoyed and Jake never wanted to leave!







Today we went to the Louisburg cider mill. We only picked 1 pumpkin today! We saw how they make there Delicious apple cider and donuts! They have a corn maze and hay rack rides, but we chose to stick with picking pumpkins since money is a little tight and the boys aren't old enough yet to realize what they are missing. We had a great couple of days in this great weather!

Today was the Memory Alzheimer's walk. I loaded up the boys to walk a mile to honor my mom, raising $205! It was pretty chilly, especially with the wind blowing. David wanted to bring his pumpkin with him on the walk. Of course we barely started and he's ready for me to hold it! After our mile walk it was time for free food and fun. They provided sandwiches, chips, bananas and cookies! They had a kids corner where David played a bean bag game and David and Jake got their faces painted. We really had a great time and luckily the boys were great. Patrick just slept the entire time! Can't wait until next year!

Patrick 2 Months old!

2 months old! I mean seriously I just gave birth yesterday, didn't I? Patrick is such a good baby. He is smiling a lot and cooing! He looks a lot like David. He had his Dr. appt. today, which means immunization time. Of course I made Justin go, cuz mama cries when her babies get shots! He is weighing in at 13lbs 8oz . So blessed to have a healthy baby! Happy 2 months Patrick!

Awana

David is in Awana on Wednesday nights. It's like a bible study class that is all school year. He has to learn and memorize verses from the bible and be tested on them at class. When he started he was enrolled a week late so we really had to focus and catch up with the class. He seems to really enjoy it. It's good for me too, it helps me study up on the bible as well! Last Wed. he had a badge ceremony for memorizing 4 verses! He already has earned a bag and vest! I am really proud at how well he is doing!

Movie night!

Patrick's Surgery

Patrick had his surgery on Thursday at 12:30. When we got to pre-op, Patrick was sleeping well. We had an hour until surgery and I was hoping he would cont. sleeping until the surgeon arrived. Well, it didn't last! We had to put him in a gown that looked like a dress that hit him at his knees. Then it was off to weigh him, get is temp., sat check and bp. My chunky monkey is 12lbs 8oz. After everything checked out fine, it was the waiting game. Patrick was not happy and we had thirty more min. until the Dr. arrived. We used a Binky to try to keep him settled, but he wasn't fooled. Once the Dr. arrived, Patrick was whisked away to the OR. With tears in my eyes,I gave him a kissed and to the waiting room I sat to worry! I tried to keep my mind occupied by texting and thumbing through a magazine. Next thing I know the Dr. was in the waiting room. The surgery was done and all had gone well! He recovered very quickly and was ready to eat soon after he awoke. He was pretty sleepy the rest of the afternoon, but during the night, he was wide awake and ready to stay awake. Glad the surgery is over and glad he is home with me!
