Is it really October already?! Our busy Fall season has begun.  A couple of weeks ago we went to visit with The Dicobs.  It had been a few months since we had been there and Emma's Grandpa and Grandma Dicob were getting pretty anxious to see her.  She has changed so much since the last time that we were there.  We had a relaxing visit and it was good to see Amos' extended family.  I was upstairs feeding Emma one morning and Amos came in and we got to talking about how the last time we were there visiting, Emma giggled for the 1st time.  Here are a couple of pictures from our weekend...

This past weekend Uncle Bob (Emma's Godfather) came down for a visit.  He said that he needed to come down and get fitted for his tux with the rest of the boys for a wedding (Vin and Emily's) that they are all in.  But I think we all know the real reason that he needed to come all the way down here to our Mens Wearhouse...

 

(yes he is a big sucker for this little lady...although so are we!!)

Sunday, before he left, we went apple picking.  We rode a VERY old fire truck up to the apple orchard.  The views from the top of the hill were amazing.  Emma loved eating (well sucking on) freshly picked apples.  We even found an apple that was just her size and she carried it around with her for quite a while.  We now have half a bushel of apples and I am beginning to feel the stress of all of the things I need to make with these apples before they go bad!  Apple pie, apple sauce, apple crisp, baby apple food, hmmm did I forget anything??!!  Here are a few pictures...

 

 

 

 

 

And now for a little Emma update =)  She is becoming her own little person with her own little personality!  She still desperately loves our cats and completely lights up when one even walks into the room let alone comes near her.  She is eating all kinds of food.  Her latest additions are baby yogurt and juice.  Teething is definitely going on.  It is terrible.  I feel like there is nothing that I can do to make her feel better.  I can only imagine what it feels like.  Her latest thing is scrunching up her face and whining until she gets whatever it is that she wants.  She does this for EVERYTHING.  When she gets dressed, gets her diaper changed, has something taken from her, when she wants Mommy, when she wants to be picked up, ummm are you starting to get the picture??  While it is something that I know we should not be encouraging, it is absolutly HILARIOUS when she does it.  I cannot help but laugh.  She scrunches up her little face, puts her hands into fists, her entire body stiffens up, and she starts squealing.  It really is too funny.  I know that I need to get a handle on this laughing at things that I should really be discouraging but its so cute.  Ugh...I am working on this!  Here is a picture of what she does...

This weekend I am planning on doing lots of cleaning while I have Amos here to entertain Emma.  Next weekend we are off to Rochester and Emma and I will get to stay for the entire week =)
