Apple Picking


Today we went with our friends to Averill Farm and picked our own apples. It was a new experience for us and we really enjoyed it. We got there after caravaning to the orchard where we found ourselves surrounded by all the pretty trees. We got our bags and started pulling the apples right off the trees. It was a fun day to run around and enjoy the great day. Sadie has had about 12 apples today and mom made an apple crisp that isn't very good. Well, we have enough to keep trying!

Our first 6 months

Where to begin? We have had a HUGE change of events for two little people in this big world! We have moved across country to start a whole new life in Connecticut. We headed out east March 15, 2008 and lived in the Residence Inn for 3 weeks while we were getting our house ready. We finally moved in and our life has not been the same. We have had an amazing couple of months and have met some of the greatest people. We spent the summer at the beach and played in Indiana for 2 weeks, where we visited our family and our friends. We were lucky enough to spend the 4th of July riding on the Mellen float and spending the holiday with our family. We still managed to win this year and another trophy! Now that Fall is in full swing our activities are getting a change too. Sadie has started school 3 days a week and playing soccer on Saturdays. Lyla is loving going to playgroups and the park while Sadie goes to school. Mom is involved teaching CCD, MOMS Club and going to the gym every morning with her workout partner, Julie. Dad is working very hard and not traveling nearly as much as when we lived in Indiana. We love having our dad home! He does enjoy playing rounds of golf with a few of his new friends. He has even played with mom's uncle, Brian, a few times. We love to spend our free time with our new friends and going to parties with all of them. We couldn't have been placed in a better town! New Milford has given us nothing to complain about!
