Pumpkins (and Addison Week 3)!

There is no question about it... I LOVE fall! Most people prefer the long, warm days of summer, but for me, summer is just too busy. Yes, I love the warm weather as much as the next guy, but all the traveling and events that come along with summer are just too much at times. Fall is when things start to calm down a bit, not to mention its the build up to my other favorite time of the year... Christmas!

The changing leaves (you should see Green Lake right now!), the cool/crisp air and the lazy days spent cozy on the couch watching football (and this year, snuggling with our little nugget :)) are heaven to me. And what would fall be without PUMPKINS!

Such a fitting first family adventure with Addison... the pumpkin patch as a big three week old!

First family adventure! (Addison slept the entire time...)

Addison at three weeks :)

Addison has started giving us the hand when we talk too loudly while she is sleeping, if we turn on a light, startle her in any way, etc. Its pretty hilarious... figured we should document :)

Other week three events...

Snuggling with Pops at Suncadia...

SUNCADIA:
Pops asked us to meet him for lunch at Suncadia. We wandered through a harvest festival, had a delicious lunch and cuddled up in front of a big fireplace! Despite the outfit, this was actually a different day than the pumpkin patch. Gotta wear her orange for orange October (Go Giants!)

Quick bottle break on the drive back - thanks daddy!
(Addison's first bottle was the night before - nice to switch it up a bit!)
 

Go Giants! Dog, baby, mama (and daddy taking the photo) decked out in our Giants gear at the dog park!

Meeting her first Holy Names friend - thanks for coming over to meet Addison, Heather!!!

Addison and her PEPS friends!*

PEPS:
This week Addison and I attended our first PEPS meeting. PEPS is a Seattle organization that groups new parents together with other (mostly first time) parents in their area. Our group is made up of 12 moms and their babies all born between Sept. 1st and October 1st. This is the week one photo shoot of all the babies! Really looking forward to our weekly meetings and getting to know some local mamas!
