Fall Harvest Orchard

A few weekends ago my dad came up for a trip to Cabela's with the boys. Before they left for their big shopping trip we hit the Fall Harvest Orchard. It's actually a big farm that these people open up to the public. It was SO much fun. The kids had a blast! I know I am long overdue for an update on the kids, but it's been so busy lately and I want to share these pictures of the orchard. I will try to do an overall update soon, maybe tomorrow.

The day started with papa showing up at 7:30 to make pancakes with the kids:


As soon as we got to the orchard, Bella started chasing the turkeys:


Feeding the goats (this was a big hit!):




Holding baby chicks:




Three Little Pigs


Savannah talking to the pot bellied pig:


Bella going for the goat kiss (YUCK!):



Mooooo:



Papa helping Savannah feed the cows:


Pumpkins:


Bad hair day:


Corn pit:

What's that saying? When it rains, it pours.

Man, what a streak of bad luck. So in the midst of dealing with all this house damage from the hail storm we managed to get rear ended in our van. It was some high school kid that wasn't paying attention. His excuse was "I'm a senior and high school and I'm just so busy!" OK...

So then the brakes in both cars start squealing- both need new brakes. On top of that the water pump in the van is leaking so it needs to be replaced within a week! HA. Right.

Among all the chaos, Bella continues to not sleep at night and all of a sudden her reflux has really flared back up. The other night we were up with her until after 4am and we could hear her refluxing every 30 seconds. She was just screaming and wouldn't even take a bottle. I took her in that morning and sure enough the reflux had caused an infection in her nose, which in turn led to an ear infection. She is on antibiotics now and we will more than likely be upping her prevacid. I need to call back on that.

We are looking forward to an uneventful weekend. Maybe the pumpkin patch?

Happy Birthday!

Happy 35th birthday daddy!! We love you!!

Well, I haven't been very good about updating lately. It's just been soooo busy around here with appts, ST, PT, and my school on top of it all! Hopefully,I can get on here soon and post a better update. Until then, this is a picture of the kids at Como Zoo the weekend (beginning Sept) before school started.
