Fall Fun...

THE PUMPKIN FARM

Apple Picking...



We made our annual trip to the pumpkin farm on Saturday. Despite being too hot (80+ degrees) we had a great time. Sophie loved all the pumpkin displays and animals. Then on Monday we went apple picking. Again, way TOO hot. It is not supposed to be 85 degrees during October in upstate NY. We had a great time despite the heat! :)

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY, SOPHIE!!!!!

Here are some pictures from Sophie's party...I can't believe she is 2!!!

Feelings...

I must say I feel a tad defeated after not getting our LOA before the government closed down for the week...I know it's my own fault for building these expectations but I can't help it. It's becoming harder to be patient...but I will try b/c I know there is nothing I can do. As defeated as I may feel receiving new pics of my little angel always raises my spirits...I know I am truly blessed to get so many updated pics of our daughter...PLEASE LOA come soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
