Please forgive my lack of blogging in the past couple of months; it’s exhausting to keep up with a little walker!
October was full of fun times for Lauren, Aaron and I… Since the weather was really hit or miss, we didn’t have a lot of days to pick from to make it to the pumpkin patch, but we did, on two occasions. One weekend, Aaron and I took Lauren to her first pumpkin patch and she had a blast! This was the “learning to walk” stage and that’s all she wanted to do, and did! She must have touched every pumpkin she saw and loved it. I’m sure she could have stayed there for ages if we let her. After the pumpkins we made our way down the road to Erie Orchards. This impromptu trip was for donuts and people watching. It was a sunny day in the mid 50’s so there were TONS of people there and we had to park in the north forty, but the donuts themselves were worth it, and the pictures prove it. At our second pumpkin patch, Lauren knew what to do and didn’t want to be stopped. This patch had a lot more things to see and do and she especially loved the animals. She got to play with her Grandma, Papa, Uncle Mark and cousins and had a blast!
October also brought us Lauren’s first birthday. Where did the past year go?! We had a small birthday party here in our home and she had a blast, of course. We didn’t go overboard with decorations or people it was perfect. Lauren walked around and played with everyone, had her cake and opened presents. Lauren and her cake, oh how that was a great event to witness. She was very delicate when eating it, it didn’t get it on the floor, and everything was fairly well contained to her high-chair tray. The only downfall was that we were getting green frosting out of her nose for days! She is officially a toddler :’(
Autumn also brings the changing of leaves and the raking of them, of course. We had a nice, warm, dry day to rake them and let her play. She wasn’t too sure about what to do in a pile of leaves, but she was sure she didn’t want to stay in them. I did manage to get a few good pictures of that moment as well.
As the last of the leave fall, we can only welcome the Holiday’s and the cold months of winter. Until then…
