Hello People! I don't have a good excuse for my lack of blogging behind the same tired "we're busy" excuse. Which is true but you're tired of hearing it and I'm tired of typing it. So let's just cut right to the point of this post: Fall photos!!!
We've been enjoying our first family fall in New England. While we have seasons in the south, autumn isn't really autumn except in New England. The air is crisper and the leaves are brighter than anywhere else in the country. We even got to enjoy a little taste of Vermont last week with a visit to "PopPop and T" (my parents).
I'm tired (Thanks to a 7 month old who decided at 9 pm last night he randomly needed another bottle but has parents that are so stupid they didn't realize he was waking up every 20-30 minutes because he was hungry until after midnight. Thanks also to this city's ridic waste management department who feels 4:00 am on Monday mornings is a perfectly acceptable time at which to collect garbage and a 2 year old who is petrified of the "boom boom" truck and screams bloody murder at the "boom boom sounds".) so I'll limit the commentary and just share the pictures.
So, our trip to Vermont involved hanging out at the Vermont Country Store:
A trip to the pumpkin patch where Joseph ate apple cider donuts
And we attempted some family photos:
And we hung out with the uni-bomber (aka Uncle Jeffrey).
We just hung out at PopPop and T's house:
(Uncle Jeffrey looking less terroristic)And Conrad got some bonding time with the great-grandparents he's named after:
And we tortured naked babies in hollowed out pumpkins:
And made some forceful attempts at capturing brotherly love on camera (which ended with Joseph climbing over the couch yelling "No touch baby!!!" and "Mine pumpkin!")
And in true Vermont fashion, fall left as quickly as it came because on Friday we got a snowstorm. A full out, hardcore snow that lasted 3-ish hours that left us with 2-3 inches of snow!

And because their true northeasterners, my parents celebrated thinking this meant they'd be hitting the ski slopes early this year. And because I'm not yet that reacquainted with the frozen tundra, I cried myself to sleep thinking about snow suits and hats and gloves and two kids in and out of the car and being trapped in my house for months. Luckily, winter isn't quite upon us in Connecticut.

love, love, love fall, and i'm jealous of the vermont excursion. we went to utah last week to see some mountains and leaves and it was so lovely.
glad to see you're carrying on the tradition of the hollowed-out pumpkin. we would have to get a huge pumpkin to do it with audrey and i'm not sure how she would respond ... she would probably try to eat it like her brother did. hmm. we'll see.
Great pictures, love the fall stuff! The snow one? Not so much. Let's just keep living in denial, my friend.
