Fall on Welch and Dickey Mountains

A closer look at the leaves....

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.

Lovin' the Swing

Thursday we got a chance to go to the park with Benjamin and Rebecca. Jude found the swing fascinating. He was going "no-hands" like a roller coaster pro.

Mt. Uncanoonuc

After a day of apple picking, last weekend we took a leisurely hike near Manchester. Jude was very interested in the bark on trees.

Apple Picking

Saturday was the perfect fall day to pick apples. We picked Red
Delicious, Mac's and Cortlands. (Jude's favorite are the Red's.) Jude got to hang with his pal Benjamin, while Joel and I got a chance to catch up with Rebecca and Dan.

Walkin'

Jude's favorite toys as of lately have been his legs accompanied by Jack's Chuckit. He could walk figure eights in the parking lot for hours.

Kitty

Lately, we've been getting visits from the local cats. Jude and Jack are both fascinated by Rusty. He spooked me the other day when he appeared up in Jude's room. We were reading some books before a nap when Rusty crawled under Jude's crib. Jude turned to me to say, "Kitty!" (The front door had blown open....and Rusty came right on in.)
