We love Fall! I wish we had more time to get out and enjoy this beautiful Oregon October…but at least when we do get out we remember to invite a friend with a great camera and some pretty fantastic photography skills. Thanks Kirstyn! Here’s a few of my favorites from our trip to look at leaves the other day after church (no, we don’t go to the adorable little church in the pictures). No captions or explanations needed here…just a happy family!







and here’s some of my amature photography documenting out annual trip to the Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch. I can provide some captions on these ones

*waiting for Auntie Jen and Uncle Frank to meet us

The picture you took of the kids and Baker is amazing. You caught the anticipation in all their eyes. Even Baker looks like he knows someone is coming. I vote for the kids when it comes to frogs versus pumpkins. Frogs win every time. When I was little we would find tree frogs in our apple trees. I never got tired of them. You’re right they are all getting so big. I can hardly waitto see you all at Thanksgiving.
