Peek-a-boo!

I thought it was only fair that if I put a post about the chickens that Isaiah get one too! :) Isaiah is growing and growing each day. I can't believe how quickly time goes...he's already 8 months old! No crawling yet, but he's starting to do a little scooting on his bum, which is easy to do on our wood floors. :) He loves standing tall or walking with the help of mom or dad. He had a fun Thanksgiving with his Grandma and Papa Langer, cousins, aunts and uncle...no turkey yet though; just some squash and potatoes.

My How They Grow!

The girls have become ladies...well, two of them have! We have officially been eating farm fresh eggs for a couple weeks now! Very exciting to go to the backyard and come back with a couple eggs. :) They are not quite full sized yet as you can see in the picture (the larger one is from a carton we bought at the store). It is amazing to see how yellow/orange the yokes are...and they taste great!

Our Anniversary Weekend

We headed to Bayfield, WI Friday afternoon for a long weekend. We stayed at these great cottages for our 1st anniversary, and thought it was worth coming back to celebrate our 3rd anniversary. The weather leading up to the weekend was supposed to be pretty crappy, but it sure turned for the better! We enjoyed a nice evening walk around town Friday night before enjoying a yummy dinner with fabulous dessert.

Saturday we walked into town via a wooded path that followed the shore of Lake Superior. We browsed some shops and came back for a restful afternoon. We started our evening Halloweening (see post below) and then came back to the Cottage for dinner and to reminisce about our wedding day and the three years since. We watched our wedding slideshow, wedding video and looked through albums...it's amazing how much has changed for us in those three years!

Sunday we made it to a few apple orchards and Isaiah was patient with us while we picked two bushels of Cortland apples...believe it or not, we paid $3 a bushel; less than 10 cents a pound! So, don't be surprised if we come to visit you with apples (in one form or another) in tow! :) We have a lot of freezing, canning and eating ahead of us...YAY for fall. Next in store is the Vikings/Packers game. We need to be careful about our cheering since we are in Wisconsin this weekend! go vikes! :)

Hoot and Hollerin' Halloween... Sort of

Our third anniversary was this past Wednesday (the 28th for those unwilling to look at a calendar or do the math :) ) so we decided to go to Bayfield, WI to celebrate; meaning we would be out of town for Halloween. So before we left we went back and forth as to whether we should get a costume for Isaiah. On one hand we weren't going to see anyone that we knew so what was the point of a costume? On the other hand, what kind of parent doesn't have a picture of baby's first Halloween? So we decided to be creative. Isaiah dressed up as a farmer and did a great job keeping his hat on. One other thing to note: Veronica put argyle leggings under his costume. Do you know any farmers that wear argyle leggings? Either do I! :)

We had a pretty quiet evening. We went to a pumpkin carving contest, toured a mansion and got a little candy. We thought since Isaiah didn't eat candy yet that it may be best to keep our candy intake to a minimum...
