The Apple of our Eye

For one glorious Saturday, the weather was perfect! (Perhaps the last nice day we'll have for a while.) We joined our friends John, Elizabeth, and their precious boy James for a visit to a great little apple orchard. We all enjoyed a picnic and some good old-fashioned apple picking. We love watching Drew and James get to know each other. This is a lifelong friendship in the making.

Elizabeth and I are glad we "picked" these cuties!
Our little family tree (Get it? family tree? Okay, okay, I'll stop)


Drew helped us choose a few, too.



This sure isn't Gerber applesauce!

And at the end of the day, we all came back to our house to relax and play. Here's a great shot that really captures the moment - TOTAL... MESSY... CHAOS! Two dogs, two tykes, and a few tired parents. Yup, ours is the kid relaxing with a foot on the Boppy and a Champ at his side. James, on the other hand, is crawling and exploring. We have some work to do.



In other highlights, Drew is the youngest (honorary) member of the Community Christian Church Youth Group! When Jeff spent some time with the kids, he brought Drew along. As you can see, he was the life of the party.

And as I mentioned, last Saturday was the end of the sunny, warm days. Fall is here! It's our family's favorite time of year - it's the season in which we were married (we just celebrated 5 years!), it's when we get to go apple picking with good friends, and it's time to break out adorable fleece jackets to enhance Drew's already adorable wardrobe!


Happy Fall!
