Apple Picking

Sunday we had a great day apple picking at Eckert's. We went with Jeff, Kim, Grace and Ruth. It was such a great day to go, and we had such a good time compared to last year. Last year they had such a bad freeze that they lost a lot of their apples. So when we went to go out picking, they had just crates of apples that we got to choose our apples from.

The apples are delicious, and hopefully this week I will make a pie with all the apples we came home with. Lucas didn't want to stop picking them so we have quite a few. On the way home we got to ride the ferry across the river. We didn't get to use it on the way there because it had been closed because of all the flooding. We were all so happy we got to ride it back home since it is so much fun. (And it takes about an hour off of the drive time)

Noah was very interested in the leaves on the trees. Didn't know what to think of them. He didn't get to pick any apples off the tree this year, but I am sure he will be doing that next year with a little help. This is one of my favorite pictures of the day. I love the look on babies faces seeing and feeling something new.

I hope everyone gets to experience apple picking with their kids. It is so much fun and there are such good memories for both you and your kids.

Next on the list is going to the pumpkin patch. I do love this time of year, keeps us busy in the Bailey house.

Grant's Farm

Last weekend we went to Grant's Farm with Sam, Susan and Sean. Good times except for the highly aggressive goats. Lucas was not too thrilled with them when they started attacking him for the bottle. He spent most of the time having Jake holding him. It was a great day to visit, just got hotter than expected. The free beer helped with that though.






Very tired babies after the long day.










We got Noah, Sean and Hailey together again for an updated picture. Here the boys are 7 months and Hailey is 5 months. How quickly they grow.
They are all looking at Susan who is trying to get them all to smile, and Sean to not roll over.

Crazy Busy

On the go as always. I can't seem to get the blogging done as much as I want to anymore.

Noah is 7 months old today. Time sure does fly. He has 4 teeth, two on top, two on bottom. He is sitting up quite well now. He was slouched over all the time leaning on his hands to keep himself up, but yesterday he seemed to sit up better without needing to lean. And he is crawling, or pulling, himself around the floor now. Time flies!!

Lucas had Howellapalooza on Wednesday for his school. They had games, arts and crafts, bounce houses, fire trucks, etc. Something for all ages from Pre-K to highschool. He had such a good time. We were there from about 5pm - 7:30 getting everything done that he could do. He did not want to leave, but he was beat after having school that day and then going to play. He was out in like 5 minutes. Here he is in the firetruck they had for the kids to climb around in.

Growing up

Noah has started to crawl around on his belly officially on Saturday. If he sees a toy or his bink that he wants he will get to it. He will pull with his arms and push a little with his feet. Now that he is mobile Lucas is not liking Noah getting into his toys and is having a little problem sharing at times. Noah is growing up so fast and will be 7 months old this week. Where has the year gone?
