Beautiful Sunday

We had a great time today enjoying a beautiful fall day in Ithaca. After church and a little nap, we took a pictures in front of the pretty trees on our street. We drove a few miles south of town to an orchard where we had some apple cider donuts and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Before coming back home, we stopped at a little farm store and took some pictures in their pumpkin patch. We finished the day up with some time playing in the leaves in our front yard and then sitting with momma on the porch. What a fun day!

Fall in New York

What a difference a year makes! We took our beautiful daughter on a hike in Watkins Glen State Park, about 30 minutes from Ithaca. She enjoyed being outside even though it was a little chilly! She filled her daddy's ear with lots of talking the whole time...given the proximity of her mouth to his ear with her in the backpack, he was ready for a break after an hour and a half of walking! It was a beautiful park and a perfect way to spend a Sunday with our little family!

Happy Birthday Annabelle!

How about hanging out with celebrities on your first birthday? Annabelle was wished a happy birthday by country star Trace Adkins on our visit down to West Point this weekend. She was such a sweet girl and enjoyed her cupcake, presents, and visit to her future home! When we got back, we opened our present from Nanny and Papa and loved it! You are such a sweet girl Annabelle, we love you and are so thankful for all of the joy you have given us over these past 12 months!

Shopping

Annabelle has many new tricks this week. The first one she figured out was how to push around her little shopping cart. She also is waving bye bye (sometimes, other times it is hello as well) , but much to Heather's dismay she has forgotten how to say ma-ma!

Monkeys jumping in the bed

Annabelle has been cracking us up lately jumping in her bed. As she gets winds down for her naps and wakes up from her naps, she's always a jumping bean!
