Friends and the Zoo

The other week- we had a few friends from Cedarville visit us- Mike & Lisa W. and their sweet baby Noah. And we also got to go to the zoo in October on a beautiful fall day!

Pumpkins & Hiking

A few weeks ago, I took the kids to a pumpkin patch in College Hill because Daddy had to finish working on a SS lesson. Jeremiah got to ride his first pony and he was super brave! I walked beside him but he did great! And then the weekend was so nice that we went for a hike at Shawnee Lookout- Jeremiah thought he could be like Daddy and carry a big walking stick! We love hiking as a family- it is honestly one of our favorite things!

Neighbor Get Together!

We have been enjoying these last remaining days of warm and sun before the cold winter months with a fire almost every Friday night in our fire pit in the back. Gotta love some s'mores- Jman loves them! A few weeks ago we also had a neighbor get together which was really nice! I am so thankful for these neighbors and how they love to get together and this time, instead of meeting in our small little apartment- we met in our neighbor's beautiful English tudor house- it really was lovely! Sometimes it is so hard to get to know neighbors in our American culture- people tend to keep to themselves and do not want to get together but we really are thankful for such great neighbors- most of them we met through our many walks near neighbor's houses and bringing them some yummy goodies when we moved in. :)

Visit with Parents part 2

We also went to visit Parky's Farm with my parents and Jeremiah got to see more animals. The rest of the time they helped me watch Katy (18 months) who I have been watching two days a week this Fall. She is a sweet girl but it was definitely nice to have a few more hands especially when we walk to the park. Mom mom helped me organize kids clothes- a daunting task that never ends- and Jeremiah got a hold of her permanent red marker and wrote all over the hallway wall. I have threatened to bring all my permanent markers to York when we come in November and let Jeremiah at their walls. :) Mom forget she has a 2 year old in the room. They also took Jeremiah and Lydia to story time one morning- Mom lost Jeremiah and had him paged- will Jeremiah come to the front desk- I thought that was funny- he is a 2 year old. :) The funny memories. Jeremiah's other favorite thing to do with Pop- read Curious George- he could read those books all day and all night!

Visit with My Parents!

My sister has been wanting so desperately to see pics of our time with my parents- so Rachel- here you go! My parents visited from Sunday to Wednesday this week. My dad was off work from the Gov. Shut Down as he works with the Department of Agriculture in PA. Sunday night- we visited a corn maze called Niederman's Farm. It was a fun place for little kids complete with hayride, corn maze, pumpkin patch, jump area, little tractor train, petting zoo and hill and tunnels for kids to crawl through. Jeremiah's favorite part- the tractor train, feeding the goats grass, climbing the hill and the tunnels and just being with Pop and Mom-Mom- though Rachel- he did keep asking where you were at and kept saying that we were going to be driving to Rachel's house. We will have to drive over to visit you soon. :)
