Apple Orchard 2009

Hopefully, you'll enjoy this as much as we enjoyed doing it today. Such a dream day; the type that once your home all you can do it comment on what a great day it was.

Now we're off to make all sorts of yummies from all the apples we picked! The good news is I think after all his exposure to apples today Rhys might finally be a fan of the delicious fruit! Happy Autumn!

Rhys Learns to Share

Be All You Can Be....

So, it's official. While i'm sure "uncle Brian" will hate this analogy (he's in the marines): Rhys is officially ready to "join up" because he's got his "Army Crawl" down pat. He REEVES himself up, gets up on his hands and knees, sways back and forth (winding up) and then steps his arms out and goes down to his belly. Moving forward just enough to encourage him to try this ritual again. Lord help us. He's mobile now, and I don't think there is anything slowing down this "Go Baby!"

SNOW!!!

Are you serious! That was my first reaction when i woke up and saw our new, white ground covering on the front lawn. Half of me is tempted to bundle up Rhys and go introduce him to the precipitation that he will love and hate, the other half of me wants to crawl back in bed. Since I don't think the kiddo will put up with option two I'm going to have to start the introductions i think. The only problem....do you know how hard it is to put a winter coat on a wiggly, giggly 6 month old boy. To give you a bit of insight: picture me wrestling a little piglet-squawking and squealing and wiggling all about. Hopefully, i'll be able to "up" by skills, because I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG, COLD Minnesota winter.
