Pumpkins and Baby Smiles

After a few weeks of a smile here and there, Max started smiling like crazy on Wednesday! We love it and we all try to get him to smile. My cheeks hurt today from trying!! I love that he smiles as soon as he sees my face and hears my voice. That just makes being a mom worth it, doesn't it?




We went to the pumpkin patch and the kids all chose their pumpkins. It was fun to see them run around together-they were running from one end of the field to the other. I guess they had extra energy to use up! If any one of them changed directions they all changed with him. It was pretty funny to watch. It made me think of the werewolves in Twilight that can read each others thoughts and move as a pack. (Can you tell I'm excited about the movie coming soon?) I love everything about fall and the annual trip to the pumpkin patch is a simple thing that me and the kids look forward to every year.

I love the pictures of Max. He is so cute, and looks so much like Luke in some of them. I wish we could have gone to the Pumpkin Patch when we were there, but the snow was very pretty, for the day that it lasted!
