Goings on lately

We went to the pumpkin patch a few Saturdays back with my parents and siblings and their little ones. It was a lot of fun and I was glad that the weather decided to stay beautiful and sunny. The patch we went to is Seven Oaks Farm and it is where Clark and I took our maternity photos last year. I felt a small twinge of sadness at the fact that he wasn't able to be there, but I know that there will be many more years of pumpkin patch outings in our future.

In other news, my grandmother and I have put together a list of things to do before Em and I meet back up with Clark in Florida. It is mostly comprised of things that we would do together when I was younger. For example: bake cookies, visit art museums,the public library, parks and downtown GP. We also would like to make art and go to the November First Friday Art Walk. I am so thankful for this time spent with her. It's a nice way to keep busy and reconnect. It is also priceless time for her to spend with Emmalyn. So far we've managed to cross of a few things even. Most might think this item is strange, but we ate scrambled eggs and rice for lunch yesterday. As a child I was ridiculously picky and it was one of the few things that she could consistently get me to eat. She always loves to tell me about how, since I was very young, I would sit at the counter and watch her cook rice for me. Another item for in the kitchen that was crossed off is, bake peanut butter cookies. I followed grandma's recipe while she played with Em. We have now also gone to the two parks that I played at the most as a child. She was telling me that she has taken three generations to the park; my dad, me, and now my daughter.  I cannot wait to fill the days crossing more things off of our list and maybe even adding some new ones.
I'll finish this post with some iPhone photos of our last few days adventures.
