Fall is my absolute favorite times of the year. I love all the fall colors and pumpkins. Pumpkin patches are probably one of my favorite places! Anyway, we were visiting Grandma and Papa last weekend and got to go pick some great pumpkins and gourds w/cousins and tomorrow and Friday we have school field trips to the pumpkin patch! I just hope that the weather holds out for us. Kiley also got her birthday present from the boys while there and she was so excited she got a baby doll and Uncle Jasper got her a box of Twinkies (she ate the whole thing in two bits!) she was very pleased and can now add that to her ever increasing list of treats that he has introduced her to.

We have had a busy few weeks here. We have sold our house here (#3 in the last 4 years) and are actually heading to our hometown for a month or two between jobs. We are doing a month to month rent on a little old 3 bedroom house in our tiny hometown - needless to say it will be a big adjustment for us, but one we are looking forward to for the short term and praise God that we did sell here and were able to find someone willing to do month to month renting. This coming week will be busy as we pack yet again.

I was wanting to take a few pictures around the house before we left, but only got a few of the kids outside.

We also had a first for us tonight - we all went out to eat as a family and Eli got to order off the menu. We have eaten out one other time w/my parents and grandparents but never just us at a restaurant. We went to Red Robin and they were very helpful. They have an allergies information book and you can look things up by allergies and it tells you what is ok to eat and what is not. They also put an allergy alert on your ticket and Eli's food came in a yellow basket rather than the typical red one. If eating out is a challenge for anyone you know it is worth a try.
