Fall is in the Air


Sorry it has been so long--we had a cold go through our house and, fingers crossed, are all finally over it. Emma was dedicated on October 10th, and it was a lovely service at church. She and 28 others kids were dedicated, all in a one hour service! We had a lunch afterward..and truely lovely day with family and friends! This weekend was Homecoming in Madison and a big game against Iowa--the game wasn't much fun to watch, but Emma and I got to hang out with Jazz, what a blast!
Today was a perfect fall day-crisp air, clear blue skies and a high of 60 so I decided it was the perfect day to go to the Apple Orchard, get some apples, my favorite apple butter--yum-o, and some pics of Emma! We got our apples the easy way (pre-picked and pre-washed) and I spent most of the time in the orchard trying to find perfect lighting to take pics. I plopped Emma on a blanket and got on the ground myself and shot away. It was so fun! Then there were a bunch of pumpkins leaning against the barn with a bushel of hay, so I sat Emma amidst them and started taking some pictures of her. 2 little girls came out of the barn and saw that I was taking pic
tures and got behind me and started dancing and waving to get Emma to look at them. It was so darling--then they said "we love babies, we love to take care of them!" What sweet girls, what a great day!
