Apples!

 
We made our yearly trip to Apple Jack Orchard on Saturday...which was very appropriate seeing it was the first day of Fall. It was Sage's first trip there and I am confident it will be the first of many.  I think my boys could be the poster children for Apple Jack's...one of my favorite places to go.
 This year was a little different.  Much of the apple crop was ruined by an April freeze so we were able to buy apples but we were not able to pick apples.  We brought home a big bag of Honey Crisp...my second or third favorite apple since there were no Zestars to be found.  We also missed Grandmommy and Grandpa who have made several trips to Apple Jack's with us.  We're hoping next year we'll all go together.




 Despite the small apple crop and missing Grandmommy and Grandpa we still had a sweet time together.
My sweet, sweet Baby Sagey.

 We were able to pick some of the Fall raspberry crop.  Aiden and I are savoring our harvest as it will probably be our last raspberries until Summer.

The oldest apple of my eye....2008, 2010, 2011, & 2012

The littlest apple of my eye...2011 & 2012
Now we are enjoying eating our apples.  It seemed like we bought a lot, but they are quickly disappearing.  Maybe we'll have to go back....

Beautiful signs of fall.

Sage will really appreciate his 2011 picture when he grows up. :)

Apple Creek

 A new year, a new orchard. This year we tried out Apple Creek Orchard and it was a really pretty place. We picked apples, took a hay ride, and the boys had fun with the apple slinger. We were joined by Tom's parents and it feels so good to have them now living close by instead of far away.

Almost to the finish line.

 It's hard to believe that Aiden turns 18 in one week and walks through graduation in just one month. After more than a decade of homeschooling, 2 years of PSEO, and no less than one million moments that I'll treasure forever, my oldest will be an adult and graduated. Great things are ahead for my boy!

Happy Birthday, Cade!

 My littlest is seven and it's hard  not to be sad. We couldn't be without him, and we're so glad he's ours.  At seven years old Cade loves to do what everyone else is doing. He will NOT play by himself, and maybe it's because he's used to having someone to entertain him all the time. He loves legos and soccer. He also loves to read. I am ALWAYS finding Cade trying to tackle reading a book he probably isn't quite ready for. Lately he's been trying to read The Hobbit. While he's able to read all the words, he just doesn't have the depth of understanding to read it independently quite yet. He LOVES Tom Sawyer so he was delighted to find an abridged version to read.  Cade makes up his own mind about things. He will NOT be bossed around. He holds his own, so I don't worry about his brothers pushing him over. Cade also won't be pushed over physically. He is one tough kid. If Cade is crying, I know he is actually hurt because he never cries ove...
