Autumn Arrival

Autumn has arrived!

It was pouring rain most of the weekend, but Jonah and I took advantage of a small sun break to go leaf hunting.

Our little cutie is sporting an entire outfit of handmedowns.  

Jacket: Jennifer

Long johns: Amy

Boots: Kerry

Thanks to all our friends---we are so grateful!

We have been super fortunate to visit the Oregon Coast twice this past month, and, I'm just realizing now, this outfit has been a staple.

Jonah currently loves learning about the ocean and deep sea creatures, the solar system and understanding why we have day, night, years, seasons, tides, gravity, etc.

However, he thinks to get a "new moon" you pop the old one....so we have a little more to cover.

Jonah is thriving in his role as older brother.  He is currently teaching Ezra sign language and is always very observant of his brother's needs.

I love this little guy so much!

Halloween coincided with one of our very rainy days,
which made staying indoors perfect for pumpkin carving.

Thanks Old Mom for the pumpkins!

But it wasn't too rainy...Jonah got all dressed up for Trick-or-Treating.

For Halloween Jonah wanted to be the main character from the children's show Tumble Leaf.  So here he is as Fig the Fox (along with his best friend Stick).  BIG thanks to Nanna for letting me use her sewing machine for the hat....and for also being so patient (late into the night) while I figured out how to make the darn thing with ears that stand up.  Jonah says he wants be be Fig again next year too.  Whew!

Happy autumn to you!
