Busy couple of weeks...

It's Fall!!! My favorite time of the year. Madi has been busy enjoying many of the fall activities in the Shenandoah Valley. First she spent 10 days (Oct 3rd - 13th) with my Mom, visiting the park everyday for a minimum of 2 hours. She loves watching the leaves fall from the tree's and loves feeding the ducks. She even got to ride the little train that runs through the park a few times. She has decided her new favorite activity is swinging and she will let you know if she's not ready to get out of the swing. While my Mom was visiting we went to Dayton Days (a local arts and crafts show) and visited the Golden Kernel Farm to pick some pumpkins. Of course my camera battery died after one picture, so no cute pictures of Miss Madi in the pumpkin patch. The 10 days with my Mom went so fast. I am so grateful that she can come and play with Madison all day long. I don't know who had more fun, my Mom or Madi and we are already planning my Mom's next trip to Virginia.

This past weekend was pretty busy too. We went over to Jill and Mari's house on Saturday night for dinner with the family and some pumpkin carving. Then Sunday morning we attempted to go back to a pumpkin patch and get some pictures. This time Jill and Mari went with us to Chester - Cestari Farms, but that didn't turn out so great. Madi did get to see a few sheep and she didn't seem to scared. I guess I'll have to try again with pictures in the pumpkin patch.

Also, yesterday we finally tried out the Halloween Costume I bought for Madi a few months ago and she didn't seem to mind her costume. It was a little big and the zipper is broken, but I am debating about getting her a new one.







Next week we start swimming lessons. It seems like I've been trying to get her in swimming lessons for months now, but they were actually suppose to start last week and got pushed back until this Saturday. With the weather getting cooler I am going to have to bundle Miss Madi up after coming out of the YMCA, so she doesn't freeze to death.
