Fall Family Fun

My favorite time of year has not been a disappointment.  We have had so much fun this fall!!!  

Last weekend, we went to the pumpkin patch with Josh, Ashley and little Owen.  We walked through the corn maze, fed the animals, walked a small nature trail and rode a wagon out to the patch.  We got a few small pumpkins, just big enough to bring home and carve.  So that night, we carved pumpkins with Josh and Ashley, roasted pumpkin seeds, drank cider and ate lots of Mocha Pie.  To make things even more exciting, our dear friends Mack and Kristy joined us that night, only to go home and realize that it was time for their baby to come into the world!!!  Baby Brice was delivered safe and sound the next day.  I told Kristy that it must have been the Mocha Pie!!  :)

Now, Laura, Will and boys are home for a visit from the big city of Austin, and we ha

ve had an awesome time with them already.  We went on the Trick or Treat for Tots train ride in Stearns, which was a great time!!  We have also enjoyed a hay ride and marshmallow/weiner roast at Josh's.  I love this time of year, and it is being made even more special by the fact that all of our family is together right now.  I thank God so much for the blessing of family, and sometimes I wonder why I am so blessed.
