Fall 2011

If there was one season that I missed while we were in Phoenix it was fall. Now, by fall I don't mean the rainy cold fall days I mean the sunny 65 degree days where the leaves are changing and it's nice enough to be outside all day and then cuddle up with a starbucks latte in front of the fireplace with a blanket and good book (haha....trying to think of the last time I did that!:) Anyways, I also realize that in MI with the coming of fall that also means that winter is just around the corner. And if there was one season I didn't miss while we were in Phoenix it was winter.

Anyways, enough rambling about the weather. Here are a few pics of Micah from the fun we've been having this fall.

Below are pics of the pumpkin patch in our neighborhood. They have a little spot where there is a train and tractor which of course Micah just loves. We have walked there several times for him to play and everytime we drive by he has to say hi to the train/tractor. We also went one time and picked out pumpkins. Micah thought it was fun to show his strength and try and load our wagon full of pumpkins. We carved them in the evening and gave Micah a paintbrush to paint his. We put them on the front porch and checked on them the next day. Of course the carved pumpkin had lots of bugs in it so now everytime Micah sees it he says "bug".

I wasn't necessarily planning on taking Micah trick-or-treating primarily b/c he really doesn't know the difference and I really am not a huge Halloween fan. However, my sisters were going and wanted to take Micah. So, last minute I ran the the local consignment shop and got the only costume that was somewhat boyish and in his size--a dog. He had a lot of fun going from house to house with McKenna and getting his treats. He was even good about saying thank you to everyone afterwards. He was awfully cute!!
