Day Out with the Babes

Today, the gang (Lindsay and Evan, Andrea and Olivia, and Jude and I) headed out to Northwood Meadows for a last glimpse of fall. We enjoyed lunch at a picnic table near the waters' edge. The babes had fun chatting with each other throughout our walk....
























Jude was exploring the pine cones...they were very sticky.


Jude and Evan were holding hands on the way home. It's good to be able to spend time with our friends.

Fun Fall Weekend

Saturday, we took a family trip around a pond. Jack got a chance to get wet, one of the last times this season.


Sunday we took our neighbors Dan and Christian up Firescrew and Cardigan Mountains. The views were breathtaking.




Lunch break....Jude "Broke the seal...." a huge poopy diaper. We weren't as prepared as normal. But we made do with what we had. And just as we were about to put a clean diaper on Jude, he peed all over his changing table, my jacket.

It was a wee bit chilly up top of Mount Cardigan.

Wagon Hill

After picking out pumpkins we decided to enjoy the nice fall weather. Across the street we took Jack and Jude for a nice walk on the Great Bay. Jude stopped to pick some leaves along the way.

Punkin Pickin'

After much careful inspection, Jude finally picked us out a couple of beautiful pumpkins. Once we were through pickin' pumpkins Jude got to check out the Emery Farm animals. He got to see some goats, a sheep, some rabbits, a couple of noisy geese, and he even pet a friendly cow. (He's frightened of any simulated cow noise. A few of his toys bring instant tears.) Luckily Bella Boy wasn't feeling vocal that day.

Books

It's like reading the morning news when it comes to Jude's morning routine. Often, he goes straight for the books, pulls them all off of the shelf, and then begins telling a story.

Fall on Welch and Dickey Mountains

A closer look at the leaves....
Nap time...

Another type of break....




We weren't the only ones taking in the views.....

Sunday we enjoyed an extraordinary hike on the Welch-Dickey loop. The fall colors were spectacular!

Liv and the Swing

It was great to visit with Drew and Andrea today before we went to check out a house in their neighborhood. Jude has a small crush on Liv. He's been caught in the act of trying to hold her hand.
