Happy Fall!!

If there is one time of the year that I really look forward to, it is this time of the year - the Fall.  There is just something about the cool weather, the beautiful colors of the changing leaves, the delicious smells, and the beginning of the festive holiday season that makes me so happy each year.

This year, I get to start sharing the love of the season with Asher!  Yay!  While he is still quite small, and has no idea that his mom is trying to instill the same love in him, we can't let him miss out on the season just because he won't remember.


On October 1st, Asher and I went with Heather, Seth, Andelyne, and some friends to Butler's Orchard pumpkin patch to pick Asher's very first pumpkin.  We took a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and found the perfect pumpkin - Asher gave a grunt of approval while he slept soundly.

After we got home, I tried to get some fun photos of Asher by the pumpkins we picked out.  Here are some of the shots!  We loved the faces he made, unfortunately, he isn't smiling very much yet, so no happy shots.

This is just the beginning of the season!  There is more to come...here's a sneak preview of Sean's favorite holiday of the season - Halloween!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

 

Thank you!

Before I blog any more, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported both Sean and myself, as well as Claire, these past months. We had a great time getting to know Claire, Will, and their families better. Asher is so lucky to have such a big extended family on all sides! I know he will be extrememly loved and supported throughout his life. Here are some pictures of Asher's Indiana family!
