One of the most beautiful things about New England is the spectacular autumn season. The leaves are just beautiful and actually makes for a really nice commute. There are several spots on my way to work where the tree limbs and leaves make a canopy over the road. I thought about taking some pictures, but didn't think it was a good idea while I was driving.
Last weekend after we visited our new niece (Hi Hannah!), we took a "country drive" through northeastern Massachusetts and ended up at a farm. It was terrific. Rick took Isaac to their playground and petting zoo. Then we bought some warm apple cider and yummy donuts. Isaac and I danced our way over to the pumpking patch where he picked out an "oval" pumpkin. We looked specifically for a tall pumpkin. We finally found one. Isaac wanted to get a pumpkin for Bella but I finally convinced him that Bella doesn't need a pumpkin that weighs more than her.
When we got home, Isaac and I cleaned out the pumpkin and roasted the seeds. We made regular and cinnamin ones. It was one of those moments that I'd like to freeze when we sat down to enjoy our roasted pumpkin seeds together.
On Tuesday night, we brought some pizzas for dinner to Rick's grandparents house. We had such a good time with them. Isaac was even able to color with Mum. He loved going downstairs to watch Papa's model trains go by and see the coal loader work (which almost shot a piece of fake coal in my eye). Mum loved holding Isabella and hearing her coo and giggle. We are really blessed to be apart of their lives.
