Pumpkin Patch

 There is a fantastic place around these parts called Tate Farms. They open in the Fall to the public for all sorts of Autumn family fun. We went this past Saturday and even though Charlotte is a little too young for most of it we still had a great time and cant wait to go again next year when she can actually do a lot more of the activities.

Entering the hay maze

We made it out!

Attempting and failing at getting a picture of Charlotte as a goat

Checking out the bunnies

and sweet sleeping goats

On the hayride to go pick our pumpkin

It was sunny and she chewed on my fingers the whole time. Nothing like some farm germs to strengthen that immune system :)

Love this weather.....

The weather here has been perfect. Cool mornings with sunny mild days. I love Autumn in Alabama, its perfect hang outside, toes in the grass and listen to some music weather and we are soaking it all in :)

4 months!

 A week late here is Charlotte's 4 month photo and recap.....

I know she isnt smiling in this one, she actually didnt smile for any of them. I thought about redoing the photo shoot in hopes of catching a smile but I thought better of. This is Charlotte at 4 months. Little Miss has attitude. She has been figuring out what she wants and letting you know. If she is happy you know it. If she is made you definitely know it. This little baby is becoming a little person and I love it.

New Recipe

  One of the silver linings I keep telling myself about this whole n-eating-dairy nonsense is that it is making look for new recipes and try new things. (For the record Id rather be eating a block of cheese with gravy on the side and wash it down with a pint of ice cream) But back to that silver lining.

This is the latest new dinner we tried and it was EASY and DELISH so I thought I would pass it along. The temperatures are dropping next week into the 70's which means soups, stews and roasts are on the menu for next week!

My favorite season is here!

I love Fall. I love the weather, the decorations, the holidays, the activities, the clothes! I love it all. Besides decorating the house for Christmas, decorating for Fall is a close 2nd for favorite seasonal house decor :) I took me a full week to get it decorated, versus the usual one afternoon (that whole taking care of a baby really takes up my time) but I love it and cant wait to add a little here and there as the months go by :)

and to top it all off a made a batch of these bad boys Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins , I coulndt indulge myself (still no dairy thanks to the little one) but Tony told me they were delish :)
