Fall Family Fun

Since Beckett is able to enjoy new experiences with us, I thought it would be fun to make a list of things to do as a family this fall. We don’t really have any fall traditions so I’m hoping that as our family grows, we begin incorporating traditions into our seasons and holidays. Some of the things on my list are things that I want to do every fall but we’ve just never got around to it. It’s fun to see the world through toddler eyes and we love seeing his reactions to new things so I think there’s a good chance we’ll be checking off many of the things on the list this year.

  1. Visit a pumpkin patch

  2. Do a corn maze

  3. Carve pumpkins (OK, I hate carving pumpkins but Joey enjoys it so I’ll stick to painting mine)

  4. Have family pictures taken when the leaves are pretty

  5. Take a drive and enjoy the leaves along the Blue Ridge Parkway

  6. Watch an outdoor movie (weather permitting, this will happen this weekend)

  7. See a play at the Barter Theater (this is something Joey and I love to do together)

  8. Make homemade soups (I can’t wait for potato and chicken noodle soups in the crock-pot!)

  9. Host a get together for my girlfriends/their families (Us girls always do Christmas at my house but it’s generally the only time we ALL get together and I want to make an effort to change that. I’m thinking soup and pumpkin flavored everything for a fall party.)

  10. Tailgate at a local football game (Done but I think this will happen a few more times this year. Hoping Joey gets to join us at least once..)

    Sounds like a lot of fun! We always try and do the land of oz in beech mountain. We also love to ride down the creeper trail from whitetop when the leaves are turning! Have a great fall!

    Both of those sound fun! We did the Creeper Trail a few years ago when we were still semi-fit and I almost didn't make it. I can't imagine doing it now with a little one! ha

    Ok! I'm sure B would love the extra company. :-)

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night. Weight: 21.4 lbs, Length: 29.5" [caption id="attachment_4...

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
