Pumpkin Patching

how our lives have changed since june 2nd, 2011. we have gone from a non-pumpkin patching couple to a family wrestling the crowd on a sunday morning, attempting to capture the perfect picture of our little pumpkin in an overly crowded pumpkin patch. but, that's what it's about. it's about experiences. introducing beckham to new sights, new sounds & pumpkin patches.

beckham devours every new scenery we toss his way. he soaks it all in. from the texture of the pumpkins, to the children running to the next halloween activity. he insists are being in a position that allows optimal exploration. i can't blame him. i feel the same way about new adventures...i want the best seat in the house.

this picture has now found its home, front & center on my iPhone home screen.

these two boys melt my heart.

before this sunday morning excursion ended, we opted for some play time under the big sycamore trees.

(i know beckham is blurry...but how could i not include that big open mouth gummy grin)

this year is about creating traditions, for our family. from pumpkin patches to christmas stockings. from birthday celebrations to vacations. traditions that will transform & grow with us over time.  here is to many more trips to the orange spotted ground that is a pumpkin patch.
