After going with Grandma to Pumpkinland, we made a special family trip for Orin to pick out his very own little pumpkin. We had quite the time finding the perfect pumpkin just his size, but we finally succeeded!
Of course we had to feed the goats and check out all the animals again.
After checking out all the animals, we headed out to the pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin.
And here are a few pictures of Orin at home with his pumpkin:
A few weeks back, Grandma came to town to visit. The cousins and Orin wanted to take Grandma to Pumpkinland.
Orin loved to see all the animals! He got to pet little puppies and he got to get up close to rabbits, goats, llamas, and ponies. He really had a great time!
We ran the full 2.5 miles in about 25 minutes. I can't remember our actual time. We weren't the fastest and we were closer to the end of the pack...But we finished!
Our husbands ran with us on the route. Next time, I need to purchase warmer running gear. I was used to running in the evening which tended to be warmer than the cool fall early mornings. Here's a picture (stolen from Maria) of us running.
Tomorrow morning, I will be running my first 4K race.
I'll be running with my sister-in-law, Kim, and our two husbands. We somehow talked them into joining us. I think the guys plan to run it along side us even though our pace is much slower than theirs. But we are all just running it for fun and for us girls to be able to say that "We did it!!"
Running 2.5 miles is an amazing feat for a girl who couldn't run 3 minutes just a few months ago!! I'm proud of myself and how far I've come in this running journey.
These pictures were taken a few weeks back after church one Sunday. We can't believe how big he looks standing there. I just had to capture all the cuteness in this 18 month old.
We have one flexible little boy! I walked into the kitchen the other day and witnessed Orin attempting to escape the confines of his highchair. Ryan and I were baffled by how he got in that position in the first place and how he could stay like that.
