Fun Fall Weekend

  This weekend was a blast!  It started on Friday when we had Josiah's 6 month doctor visit and Dan surprised us and left work on his lunch break to meet us there.  Thanks honey, that meant a lot!  And although Josiah had to get another round of shots (not the fun part), its always exciting to find out how much he has grown since last time. He is now 16lb 5oz and 28in long, a full 2 pounds heavier from 2 months ago and 2 inches longer, what a growing boy!  In the docs words, he is long and lean, just like his parents!  Ha!  That puts him in the 90th percentile for height and 25-50th percentile for weight.  So, in other words, he's growing taller faster than he can gain weight!  If he keeps this up, he will be 6'3 like his uncle Brandon!






  After his appointment I convinced Dan to take the rest of the day off and go up to the apple orchard.  We've been going to Royal Oak farm for years now, and we couldn't wait to take Josiah there!  We picked up Nana and headed up to Hebron, IL, a little drive, but always well worth it!  We got all our faves: Honeycrisp apples, apple squares, apple cider donuts, & Royal Oak's famous apple sauce.  Mmm mmm good! 







  Then on Saturday we went to Goebberts Pumpkin Patch for Cameren's 6th birthday party.  I grew up going to Goebberts, so of course, we were looking forward to taking Josiah there as well!  It was so much fun and Siah loved it!  We rode their new train they got this year, saw the giraffes and all the other animals,   watched the pig races, and played.  We then drove up to Rockford for Dan's cousin, Jody's wedding reception.  Although it was chilly (it was outside at a park) it was fun to see everyone and celebrate with the newlyweds. 









  Sunday we had our family over for the Bears vs. Packers game.  I gave in and let Dan put Josiah in Green Bay apparel, which I think was a mistake!  Haha  If he was in Bears, they would've won!  Well, anyway I think we will have to flip a coin from now on to figure out which team he will support when these two rival's play each other!  But, either way, we had a great time eating yummy food and watching the game.  





  The busy, busy weekend came to an end and here we are at another Monday.  It's rainy, windy and cold.  But I have candles lit, worship music playing and coffee in my hand.  Siah is just waking up from a 2 hour nap and I can't wait to go pick him up and give him a squeeze.  Hope you're weekend was as great as ours!

Happy Monday!
