Fall!

Much more than Halloween treats, I love fall in general. The crisp mornings, the colorful leaves, chipmunks running along our back fence as they gather enough food for the winter. Now that we have kids, it doesn't seem like fall is complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch. "Patch" might not be descriptive of the place we went last weekend, but there were pumpkins. And goats. And ponies that children could ride for $6 a pop. You won't find any pictures of us engaging in that activity here. But we did buy some of the farm-fresh pumpkin (or were they apple-cinnamon?) donuts. Yumm!

We went with some families from our church to Lee Farms in Tualatin. It was a sunny afternoon and a great excuse to get out of the house.

Not into posing with the pumpkin pile.

"I have conquered this pumpkin!"

We're pretty sure this is our first family photo with Josiah. It was his 3 week birthday.

Trying to reach the pedals was a challenge.
