pumpkins and family time

Today I took the day off of work so that we could spend time together. It seems like we don't get much time together since we are both working, and David works weekends so he can stay home a couple of days with Finn. so, we decided to pack up, head to Liberty, MO and hit the most awesome pumpkin patch around- Carolyn's Country Cousins Pumpkin Patch. It's really neat, they have tractor hayrides, pig races, train rides, playgrounds, a petting zoo, a corn maze, and more. Besides being super cold, and Finn was a little tired as you'll see in the pics, we had a great time. He picked his own pumpkin off of the vine out in the patch. He's been carrying it around the house all day saying "punkin". We had a great time!

light the night

We participated in the night the light event for the leukemia and lymphoma society last Saturday. Our team helped raise about $500! It was such a neat event, and so many supporters. Before the 3 mile walk, they held kind of a carnival with music, food, and games. Finn had a blast and stayed awake for the entire time (until 10 p.m.)! The walk was in the dark and every balloon had a light inside it. Very neat, Finn was amazed!
