Carson is officially crawling! After a few weeks of wobbling on his knees and a few little tumbles, he decided it was time. And boy, did he take off! He's a fast little guy and we're constantly chasing him around. His favorite thing to do now is pull himself up on the furniture. He gets so excited when he makes it across the room to capture his favortite toy, or to hug his doggy. He'll take a break to give us a smile and make sure we're watching him. My mission this weekend is to baby-proof the house!


We're getting in the "spirit" of Halloween.
Thanks for the cute shirt Grandma Jolene - it's a perfect fit!
Every year our neighborhood has a Halloween party for all of the kids. Grandma Kathy and our friends Andrea, Chad, and Kyle (the cute little bear) joined us. They served everyone pizza and cake and had the classic games- apple bobbing, pumpkin carving, and costume and pumpkin-seed-spitting contests. The boys are a little young to enjoy the festivities, but they were mesmerized by all of the cute little princesses and witches running around!

See this smile?


That's because I just found out that my Grandpa and Grandma Groll are coming to spend my 1st Christmas with me and my mom and dad!!! I can't wait 'till they get here-we're going to have such a fun week :)

Pumpkin Farm Petting Zoo





Another beautiful fall day in West Michigan!
We ventured north in search of pumpkins and found ourselves at Lewis Farms, a huge Farmer's Market with a pumpkin farm, petting zoo, apple orchards, and tons of activities for children and families. We didn't anticipate the huge crowd and therefore had a bit of a hike from where we parked the car, so we weren't able to pick up pumpkins.
But that's okay- we had a great day and came home with a little sun on our cheeks, some great pictures of our little pumpkin, a chunk of warm homemade fudge and some fresh apple cider. I love fall!

Happy Saturday!





I love to play peek-a-boo in the bedding while my mommy does the laundry!
If you look real close you can see my little bottom tooth in the first picture :)

Snuggling and getting ready to watch the final debate!
