Harvest Fun

This year Chris and I decided that we were going to be a little more festive in years past and participate in some of the harvest time fun. Since Ty's arrival we have been doing more family fun activities. So this weekend we found ourselves at a pumpkin patch searching for the families very first harvest pumpkin. We had a great time. The patch was located just around the corner from our house at Tuskawilla United Methodist Church and the volunteers and staff there were so nice. We were given a free picture and the proceeds from the sales of the pumpkins all went to missions.


The next day the fun continued when we did our first pumpkin carving. Chris did all the hard work. I actually tried and little and ended up breaking the little carving set we got. But it all got finished. Afterwards I used the chunks from the carvings to make pumpkin soup (really good soup if I don't say so my self), and roasted pumpkin seeds (not so good). All in all, good times. Can't wait to light a candle in it.

Tys First Shots

We are proud to say that yesterday little Ty passed his 1 month doctor visit with flying colors. Well to be honest we weren't worried at all but it was just so nice to hear the doctors reports. All his blood work and test came back and he is healthy and negative for all tested problems. He is growing at an awesome rate ... already 10 lbs 8 oz and 22 inches long (at birth he was 6 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches long). He is getting nice and chunky and has already out grown some clothes. Its nice to see clothes that used to just hang off of him now fit.

Another milestone at this appointment was that Ty received his first shot. And my little champ did amazing. Check it out for yourselves.
