Fall Outings

Well it has been a busy fall (obviously!).  In early October we went to the State Fair of Virginia.  It was a chilly day, but pretty much perfect for the fair.  We walked around and looked at all the animals, ate some good fair food, saw the prize winning stuff, ate more fair food, walked around the exhibit hall, and ate some more fair food.  My folks joined us for the day.   I think Mr. Man had a good time!

Whew…the State Fair is exhausting!

Another one of our fall outings was to the pumpkin patch up at my parents house.  It is a pretty cool place.  There are about 6 or 7 bouncy things, lots of things to climb on, and some motorized racing toilets.  It was a bit pricey, but since Evan was under a year, it was free!  Next year he’ll have to empty his piggy bank to go back! 

Cute as a pumpkin or at least sitting on one!

I could drive this plane all day long!

  The silly Gerkes

  I really want this pumpkin, mom!

Ooops

So I already missed a couple days, but at least I’m back this soon.  So during my hiatis Mr.Man turned 8 months old.  Here’s his 8 month picture with Amos!

We didn’t have a well-check, so we have no idea what his stats were at 8 months!

Sorry

That’s all I can say…sorry.  I know it has been way to long and sorry probably isn’t enough.  I can’t believe I haven’t blogged in 2 whole months.  School started, life got busy, things were going on…I know, excuses, excuses.  Well I’m back and hopefully for good. 

So much has happened in the past two months.  Mr.Man is 9 months old. I can’t believe it!  He is crawling, pulling up on everything, cruising the couch, wall, fridge, whatever he can find.  He becomes more and more vocal every day.  He is even starting to walk with his little activity walker.  And of course he’s picking up germs.  He is currently under the weather with his second double ear infection in the last month.  Hopefully the antibiotics get it this time. 

So much more has happened, so to go along with my apology, I promise to post every day for a week.  I think it will take me a least that long to get all caught up!  Hopefully that will gain your forgiveness!
