Pumpkin Patch

A visit to the pumpkin patch is always one of our favorite fall days.  We had beautiful weather this year.  


The girls and I went on Sunday afternoon.  Daddy met us there on his way home from Chicago. 


They had huge slides that they loved. 


This is Audrey first time down.   She is literally holding on to Emmerson for dear life!  


Lots of climbing to be done. 


and a barrel train! 


The giant pumpkins were the perfect place for a quick snack. 


Daddy was a trooper after a late night with Uncle Matt at the Cubs game. 


Caroline and I sat the corn maze out. 


Pumpkin time!


Audrey's pick 




Emmerson's pick 


and Claire's! 


Everyone was happy with their picks. 

Fall Break trip to Fort Wayne

We left Dad behind and took a girls trip to Fort Wayne for fall break.   The girls were so excited and had a to do list planned for our time there.  

Our first day there it was rainy and cold so we went to Crazy Pins.  


They loved the climbing area! (Audrey can officially keep up)


This is what Caroline looked like the entire time we were there!  She couldn't believe all the lights and action. 


This was the girls first experience with most of the games. 








Even Caroline got in on the action. 





Next stop was the mall to drive the animals.  


Audrey got to drive this time. 




We got to visit Lena and meet Baby Jared (the newest Delray Drive grand baby).  It's amazing how comfortable these two are with babies.  


The little girls missed the fun due to a nap. 


Friday we went to Halloween at the Zoo


The girls love the Fort Wayne zoo and were excited to wear their costumes. 




A ghost, dalmatian, butterfly, and pumpkin. 


Audrey was excited to see a ghost tree




Everyone was happy to kick off trick or treating season.






Audrey told me, "she is a nice witch because they only let nice people into the zoo".


The pony rides are always a hit. 






As is the surf board. 





 They love the giant pumpkins!




A happy ghost!


Sleeping is always an adventure when you aren't at home.  Audrey slept in my room with me.  The plan was for her to sleep on a little cot.  She fell off a million times so I finally just left her on the floor.  Claire was always the same way.  It blows me away that it doesn't even wake them up! 



This one was crying at 3:00am when I went in to see what the problem was I quickly realized she needed her diaper changed....and her clothes!  So at 3:00am I had a naked, giggling baby!

Go CUBS go!

Great Aunt Nancy and Uncle Don got this Cubs diaper cover for Emmerson when she was born.  We thought this was a good time to pull them out for Caroline.  


Daddy already for the Cubs game.  


He was happy to see his sweet girl supporting his favorite team!
