Fall = Cider Mill Season

Red delicious anyone?
Mmmm....Cider and pumpkin donuts!

Isaac's favorite; Granny Smith

Over the last few years it has become a family tradition to visit a variety of cider mills in the area. There are so many around her and each has it's own unique features. Last week we went to one where we rode on a wagon behind a tractor and picked our own peck of apples to take home. We tried lots of different kinds. We love the cider and donuts, watching the cider being pressed, and taking lots of pictures (I just can't resist).

My Energizer Bunny

These are a few of my favorite recent pictures of Aaron. He is so much fun right now! He is constantly on the go! He loves doing what everyone else is doing, especially if it involves going outside. I really don't think he stops moving as long as he is awake. He is gaining quite the vocabulary and makes us all smile with all his fun sounds and expressions. The picture of him pointing makes me laugh. I think it exhibits everything he is right now. He wants to go see and show us everything and he has plenty to say about it. He is constantly on the go, but will always stop to give a hug or, his favorite, a high five.

School Season

Isaac and Meagan

started school a month ago! The time has flown by. I wanted to post these the week school started, but I have been shocked at how crazy life has been. We are finally starting to get into a sort of routine...I think. Isaac is loving first grade. He has a great teacher and has made a lot of good friends. Last week the scholastic news had a section about hermit crabs. Isaac's teacher let him bring in Tiger and Striped Little Panda to show the class. It was pretty exciting. Isaac says his favorite part of the day is recess. He is becoming a pro at the monkey bars!

Meagan lives for preschool. She loves her friends, her teacher and anything they do at preschool. She has her show and tell planned out for about the next 2 months. She also took the hermit crabs to school this week. I love being a part of the school and watching the way she interacts in a new setting. She really enjoys the craft projects and loves circle time!
