3rd Pumpkin Patch

This was our third patch in 2009 and also the third year in a row that have been to this one in Austin. Our Sunday school meet together and then we had dinner at Phil's afterwards. Same itenary last year (but with Caleb's family) and it was Gloria's first time to go to a restaurant, now she is big enough to eat sweet potato fries.

Carrie's pumpkins

After the reunion, we put Caleb on a bus and stayed with Carrie for a couple of day. We went to a pumpkin patch that was so wet. Gloria LOVED to crawl through the mud.

Reunion

Caleb's grandmother's family has their reunion in Mineola, Texas. It was our first time to go and all of his immediate family attended. The girls were/got sick. It was outside and really cold, but still nice to all be together.

October Fun

October is a month of many birthdays and we've been to lots of great parties.
This is friend Juanita's Princess 3 year old party.

1st Pumpkin patch-Elgin

We love pumpkin patches. Calaeb was gone hunting (didn't get anything) so my parents came up and we went the Elgin Christmas tree farm's Fall thing.
It started raining so we took shelter in a tin barn with pumpkins and scarecrows. Gloria wants to keep up with the big kids.
Lydia agreed to sit by the scarecrow but didn't want to be too close.
Both of their first hay ride.
Re-enacting Gloria's first trip to a pumpkin patch where she was spread out on a big pile (though then she was sleeping)

Gloria's Birthday

We had a small celebration with some neighbors, including two baby friends (Hero & Jackson) and my mom. She enjoyed her cake but most of it got messy all over her chair. She also enjoyed opening one of her presents but then got really distracted. She got a new outfit and Lydia got to match her!

Gloria - One year

Gloria had a wonderful birthday party (pics to come) .
A year later she is still sticking her tongue out all the time!
