Fall Fun

Now that it's getting close to December, I decided it was time to post some pics from October. The weather here has been amazing so we've spent a lot of time outside at our house. Here Erik is demonstrating one of his many strange talents. Of course Sophie immediately wanted to join him, so the next two pictures show him holding her up so she could "swing like a monkey."

This picture should be accompanied by the monkey noises she made.

In mid-October we went to the pumpkin patch with several friends from church. This was a really well-done farm with lots of activities for the kids and several farm animals for them to feed. It also included several opportunities for education, as seen below:

Sophie was super excited to be there

Thankfully Grandma Jan got a good picture of our family for us. I also had to include one more that she took at her son, Jared's, football game. Sophie is a little bit in love with Jared, and since the game we hear "Go, Jared!" at least 5 or 6 times a day. So her face is extra sweet in this picture out of joy for seeing Jared play. Sunday when Erik was watching the Titans play I said, "Sophie, can you say 'Go Titans!'?" and she said "Go Jared!"
