Ithaca Farmer's Market

Yesterday, our family took a road trip to Ithaca to go to the Farmers' Market and the Sciencecenter, one of Reed's favorite destinations. We had a great time at the market, despite the blustery wind, and the Sciencecenter never fails to entertain us!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Reed and Willa celebrated the holiday with their parents, both sets of grandparents, Aunt Kathy and Little Grandma! We have so very much to be thankful for this year, including family and friends near and far! Happy Thanksgiving!

Future Farmers of America...

Reed has been taking a lot of pride recently in being a true helper on the farm. He is interested in many aspects of it, but he has a particular fondness and aptitude for anything involving tractors!

Sun-Day!

Last Sunday, we enjoyed a true "Sun"-day playing outside!

Batter Up!

Reed and his mommy baked a chocolate-pumpkin bundt cake a few days ago. Needless to say, it is gone now. Fortunately, Reed got a head start by licking the beaters after we mixed the ingredients. Next time, we will plan to double the recipe!

Soaking Up the Sun...

...Willa and Reed enjoyed a few beautiful, warm, late-fall afternoons outside last week. Our whole family has been fighting colds and other illnesses and the sunshine and fresh air was healing for our bodies and spirits! We are all seemingly on the path to wellness again and we look forward to a healthy holiday season!

Budding Artist...

...Willa recently began exploring art materials and found that she loves finger-painting! She loves it so much that she does not limit herself to art-time with paint; Willa practices her finger-painting skills at mealtimes, too :)

Trick-or-Treat!

On Halloween night, Reed and Willa stopped at Grammy and Pa Luton's house before hearing out to Liverpool for trick or treating at Booba and Pa's house and neighborhood!

Carving Out a Niche...

...Halloween style! Willa and Reed, along with their parents' help carved jack o'lanterns just before the holiday and enjoyed the glow in preparation for the Halloween festivities!
