Baby's First Christmas

Fall Family Fun

Our morning view during breakfast.

It has been a beautiful fall and we have been very busy doing things together.

Day after day has brought sunshine, warmth and stunning colors. All we want to do is be outside!

My view of Sander while wearing him in the ergo (on our property).

To celebrate my 36th birthday I decided I wanted all of us to go apple picking together at Shelburne Orchards. It was so much fun. We picked 50lbs of apples in no time! Lucy loved picking apples and almost couldn't stop. Our bags were full.

Orchard eating.

My loves.

Lucy pleased with the day.

Late night applesauce making together. Smiling and having fun with mama.

The next day we went to the property to keep Matt company and do a little bit of work.

My first time wearing Sander on my back. Work had to be done on the property.

I moved and hauled 8 carts of wood chips and little people too. It was a fun day.

Sander relaxing on the property during lunch.

It is pumpkin patch season and being the nerd that I am, we just had to go to a pumpkin patch with our little ones. It was a small, quiet and simple farm with an antique tractor hayride.

Lucy loved the hayride. She chose this pumpkin out of the patch.

Matt and Lucy in pumpkin land.

Sander enjoyed the hayride too.

Tunbridge World's Fair!

We are on that ferris wheel somewhere!

We spent the day at the Tunbridge World's Fair on Sunday and it was so much fun! Sander went on the ferris wheel with us, on the carousel, and he enjoyed looking at all the farm animals.

My loves.

Lucy loved petting these gals.

Silly cows. 

Boston

So we made a trip down to Boston and had a blast. We had a Red Sox game to go to with Pop-Pop and a wedding to attend as well. We all stayed at Uncle Chris's. I am so sad to realize I never got any photos of Uncle Chris with Sander. I suppose we had a busy week galavanting and he had to work during the days we were there. Also, the night we went to the wedding was the very first time I left Sander for any period of time! Grandma Nono came up to babysit and darn, no photos of her with the little guy either...Sander was fast asleep when we got home from the wedding and all was calm. Good job Nono!

Sander's and Lucy's first subway ride.

Out to dinner pre-game with Pop-Pop.

Dada and Sander.

Pop-Pop walks proudly with little Sander. 

Sander is quite content on Pop-Pop's shoulder, always.

Heading toward the stadium.

Here we are! At our first Sox same together. 

Lucy taking it all in.

Sander snuggled right in and had a good night.

Heading to Spectacle Island together.

Sander snuggled up and Lucy loving the boat ride.

It was a little chilly on the way out due to wind and the overcast skies.

Lucy LOVES boats, planes, and trains.

12 weeks old already!

Not the most animated shot but Sander truly enjoyed this hike. Toward the end he got sleepy and hungry.

It's hard to believe but little Sander is almost three months old!

Today we all went on a hike up to Sterling Pond in Smuggler's Notch. It was a gorgeous day.

Sander's eyes were wide open the entire one hour hike up the trail. I think he was mesmerized by all the sunshine peaking in through the trees.

Snuggled up as usual. Do you see how red is hair is getting? It is strawberry blond when in the sun.

Dada and Sander having a great time.

Our beautiful view.

Lucy always end up with less clothes on than everyone else when we are around water.
