From Summer to Fall

After the long day in the car driving back yesterday, we got up this morning and headed to north Georgia to visit Burt's Pumpkin Patch. It was a cool crisp morning and made me really ready for Fall. Riley and Ryan loved playing around with all of the huge pumpkins and we chose a pumpkim for each of us. We went on a hay ride and Ryan immediatly popped up and hung on to the side of the cart and loved the wind blowing his hair and watching everything as we rode along. Our little scaredy-cat is becoming quite the dare devil! He has really come out of his shell over the last week. He was crawling all over the beach and up embankments and straight toward the water with absolutely no fear! I thought I was only going to have one wild one, but he might have been holding out on us. After we got home Riley and Ryan were playing in their playroom and twice when I checked on them Riley had climbed on top of something. She had opened the "oven" in their large play kitchen and used the door as a "stool" to get to the sink. Then when I went back she was at the other end of the room. She had turned the small kitchen completely over and was standing on top bracing herself with the wall. When I went in there she was just smiling from ear to ear like she had conquered the world. She is very persistent! I know someone else that has that persistence, so I can appreciate her accomplishments! It's hard to believe their birthday is less than 48 hours away...my babies are growing up right before my eyes, but I am so very proud of who they are already and what they can do! I look forward to all of the new accomplishments in their 2nd year.

I had to snap a few photos tonight during bath time - they were so excited to be in their own bath tub with all of their toys!
