I love that this has been a year of firsts- Georgia’s first Valentine’s Day, Fourth of July, summer vacation, and now her first trip to the pumpkin patch! It makes everything more exciting and magical. On our way to the pumpkin patch last year, all we did was talk about baby Georgia and how much fun it would be to have her with us next year! This was the time when having her in our arms was feeling so close, and now, she is pulling up to stand, laughing and giggling, has the BEST personality, and is the light of our lives.
We had the happiest day at the pumpkin patch, today. We got there just as it opened, and we picked out 3 perfect pumpkins. Georgia loved being outside in the fresh, fall air, and we just could not stop smiling! We ate yummy cinnamon rolls on the way home, and Georgia took a nap in the truck. We also decorated our front porch for fall and Halloween with our pumpkins, a hay bale, and mums. We actually went 3 different places for the mums. Gail’s Pumpkin Patch had them, but we thought they would get too windblown in the truck. Then, we went to the first Jewel, and they only had not so nice ones left. Next, we tried a gardening shop, but they were so overpriced! Finally, we went to the second Jewel, and they had 3 good ones left, so we bought them!
I always want to remember how cute Georgia looked in her pumpkin outfit and how perfectly she fit in our arms and how Greg and I were buckling her into the stroller together each putting one of her arms through the loops. I could relive this day over and over!
I think this is my favorite time of year!
P.S. We also vlogged today, too, so there will be a new YouTube video up this week!
