Pumpkins

It's that time of year again ... FALL!! I just love fall. Unfortunately, Texas doesn't really get how to do fall. It feels like fall for very limited hours of the day here - like until 10 a.m. and after 9 p.m. Accordingly, I've been trying to get outside as much during those times as possible.

Kristi and I took Audrey and Morgan for their Second Annual Pumpkin Patch trip this year. It was a lot of fun! It's hard to believe last year when we did this our "pumpkins" were both under four months old (what were we thinking?!?). I couldn't decide which pictures of M with the pumpkins I liked best so I included probably more than you want to see. Hope you find one that makes you smile! To make the pictures bigger, you can double-click on them.

Look at how gorgeous the weather was!

For comparison's sake, here are some "Then & Now" photos depicting last year's trip and this year's:

2008 - Audrey giving Morgan a kiss.
(The frame right before this she was whacking Morgan on the head :)

2007 - When they'd stay put wherever you left them!
This time we had to constantly keep tabs on who was running where.

Walk This Way

The day has come ... Morgan is a member of the walking world! Now it's time for this mommy to put on her running shoes. Thankfully, for now, she has started off slowly. However, I don't think it's going to take too long. We're so proud of our baby and feel incredibly blessed to be part of her growth process.

Smile pretty

Recently, we had our incredibly talented photographer friend Bre take some pictures of Morgan and our family. The shoot only lasted about an hour - only as long as Morgan would tolerate (which wasn't that long considering she was tired and we had her dressed in a sweater dress and cotton tights while it was nearly 90 degrees outside!). Nonetheless, Bre worked effortlessly and efficiently and got several fantastic shots. Now comes the miserable task of narrowing down which ones we want!

Check out several of the other great pictures Bre captured of us on her blog, and check out some of her other work at her studio's website. We can't recommend her highly enough!
