How much time do I get before I have to update the blog??

Just wondering how long the "I just moved" excuse will last. It's been long enough. We are happily all now in Viriginia (me, cory, harrison, the cat. OUR STUFF. YAY.). I've had a great two weeks at work (just training so far, and four more weeks of that comin, but I think I'm going to really like my job, the people are really nice, and those government benefits are AMAZING). Today we took advantage of a FEDERAL HOLIDAY :) and went to a pumpkin patch in Poolesville, Maryland. We met up with Heidi and Joseph and her kiddos and Alissa and her kiddos. The weather was in the 70s and the drive up was beautiful!! Here are a few pics off my phone (sorry, haven't sorted throught the rubble to find my real camera..yet..)
They have wheelbarrows in the parking lot for you to put all your stuff in. Luckily Harrison was only .25 a pound :) We also got about 13 pounds of apples that we (mostly cory, he's taller) picked, 2 pumpkins, a butternut squash, and 2 gallons of apple cider. YUMMY.
OOOH!! A WHEEL!!! By the way, you'll notice there aren't many pics of Harrisons face. Yeah...have you met my son???

PUMPKINS!! We actually took the hayride to the patch and picked ours, but these were cool too.
"baba" (chicken..in Harrison talk because of the sounds chickens make)
climbing up on the fence to get a closer look at a goat
I handed him an apple I picked and he didn't hesitate to jump right in and start eating it....oops....
Rebekah and Emmeline enjoying the front seat of Alissa's stroller
HAYRIDE!!! half of alissa, hazel, heidi, kaitlyn, joseph, half of emmeline...
Alex and Rebekah on the hayride--Heidi also got some pics of Harrison and Rebekah holding hands. SO CUTE. THEY are So getting married someday, right Heidi ;)

Well, thanks for indulging my distraction. Back to trying to figure out how to fit 3/4 of a walk in closet into half of a closet that is basically a wardrobe and not really a closet at all....

Yay, you are way better at the blog updating after moving! Congratulations I am so happy for you Amber!!My only suggestion on the closet thing. . . space bags. I really love the ones that you can hang stuff in and then vacuum up. Isn't it fun to have fall? Cute pumpkin patch kid pics too. Sad we didn't get to meet up before we went to opposite sides of the continent. If we are ever out that way we'll give you guys a ring!
