Fall Pictures

Hayes is starting to push up off the floor and has rolled from his tummy to back twice. James always enjoys a morning run, just him and Daddy. Halle is growing into such a responsible young lady.

Making pumpkin pie

Halle, James and I worked together to make our first pumpkin pie from scratch (crust and all)!

Bluffton Seafood Festival 5K

Dan and I ran and pushed the kids for a 3.2 mile run through downtown Bluffton. This was our third year participating. Dan got first place in his age division. Amanda finished! Hayes slept and Halle and James loved how fast Daddy pushed them. Gram came out to cheer us on at the finish line.

Pumpkin Fest

A local community hosted Pumpkin Fest the weekend before Halloween. Halle and James painted a pumpkin for a contest, had hot dogs for lunch, played on a great playground, climbed around the inside of a fire truck and fished. It was a great time.

Apple Picking

We drove to Flat Rock, NC to meet Uncle Adam at the apple orchards. We picked lots of apples, ate apple cider donuts and visited the animals at the little farm.

Visiting the Pumpkin Patch

We drove about 1 hour from our home to visit a small farm that sells pumpkins and produce. Halle and James had the most fun feeding the bunnines and goats. We brought home pumpkins for all.

Baby Hayes' Baptism

Our sweet baby Hayes submitted to the cold water poured on his head as he was baptized on Saturday, September 27th. Our old neighbors and good friends, Tim and Maura Peirce agreed to be his Godparents. It was a beautiful day.
