Here is an update on what we have been up to the last couple of months.
The Pumpkin Patch
I had so much fun taking this picture. I had to be quick because the pumpkin kept falling which Joshua thought was the funniest thing. Then when I removed the small pumpkin he kept looking at the two bigger ones on the side and was smiling away. I wonder what he was thinking?
Annual Start Lighting
Every year for the last 76 years our town has held a fun Star Lighting festival. There is caroling, reindeer, hot cocoa, and of course it ends with the lighting of the Christmas Star that sits at top of the Rock. The whole town comes out for this. It is so much fun and really puts you in the Christmas spirit. Right before they light the star we say the Pledge of Allegiance, sing the National Anthem, and pray. This year we were "those people." You know, the ones with the screaming baby. Joshua decided that he was hungry and he wanted to eat right-this-second during the national anthem and he continued wailing during the prayer. We walked to a nearby restaurant so that I could nurse him but right as we walked up they locked the door and put the closed sing in the window. Joshua's Omah kept mouthing, "can I talk to you." And the guy kept shaking his head no. I felt a little like Mary at the Inn. Finally a lady came by and had more sympathy and let us in so I could nurse Baby J. So thankful for her kindness. I could not imagine having to have nursed him out in in the 40 degree weather.

We had a little half b-day get together to celebrate Joshua's first 6 months of life. We served half sandwiches, baby carrots, and half a cake of course. We also watched a picture slide show. Then everyone brought a half card with a special memory of Joshua to share written inside. It was a fun time celebrating our sweet baby boy!
"That 1/2 b-day cake looks yummy Omah!"
Some lovin' for the half b-day boy.

Happy Thanksgiving
We hosted Thanksgiving at our house this year. Early that morning Daniel and Uncle Andrew played in the Church's annual Turkey Bowl and they took second place! Then we enjoyed a delicious feast with family. We have so much to be thankful for especially our sweet healthy baby boy.
This is our new Thanksgiving tablecloth. Each year we will add each of our kids turkey hand print.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Joshua says he can't wait to have some turkey next year.
Last but not least, here are some of my favorite pictures from this past month.
We know that texting and driving is illegal but what about thumb sucking and driving?
I'm wearing my bib like a cape because Mommy and Daddy call me Super Baby.

Such a cuddle bug!
