Abe, Alex and I spent this absolutely beautiful weekend visitng with my family in the country. The trees have started to change already out there, and the scenery is incredible since they are surrounded by so many mountains. I have some pictures of the nice fall foliage that I'll post later. Alex had a great time! He got to pick his first pumpkin from Higson's Farm in Wiley Ford, WV. It's a smaller farm about 30 minutes from where I grew up. They had tons to choose from, and they're super cheap out there, so we got two big pumpkins and a little one to represent Alex. They are now sitting in front of our house and we are hoping they don't get smashed. I think it's ridiculous when people go around smashing pumpkin, and I can honestly say that's something I never did when I was younger. I just never saw the point in it. They've been there for a few hours now though, and so far, so good. My family was shocked to see how big Alex is getting. His nana had bought him about a thousand new things (as usual) so we spent some time looking at the new vlothes and letting him play with his new toys. By the time we were finished unwinding Friday night, Alex was going to bed way late! He still did very well though, considering. He also got to visit with his Great-Grandma who could only see him for a bit since she left for Missouri very early this morning. She is very excited to see him in two weeks when we go back for Trick-or-Treating and my brother's 23rd birthday. My Grandma's town has always held Trick-or-Treating on the Sunday before Halloween, because they don't like the kids running around at night. It works out great for us, because now he can dress up and Trick-or Treat here and there, and everyone gets to see him in his costume. My brother (who is back in action once again) is turning 23 on October 27, so we'll also be celebrating that he's managed to make it to 23! LOL. Well--I better say goodnight soon. Field Trip tomorrow--me vs. LOTS of 7th graders means I need my sanity rest. Have a great week and enjoy the photos posted!

Orange is Alex's color as well as green! I love his smile and you know he is happy when he sticks his tongue out.
