Trying to get this blog off of "life support"!

I am feeling a bit like I should have a purpose for this blog; a theme of some sort. You know, like some of my favorite blogs - cakewrecks or smitten kitchen - or that I had deep thoughts or recipes to share (like the farming momma or corn rows and meadows).

Maybe that's why I let this thing fall to the wayside. Honestly, I almost can't wait until Baby is born just so I have something to talk about! (I can't believe I just said that. I'm gonna turn into one of "those" people). :)

Or maybe I am just putting too much pressure on myself to make every post spectacular and really I should just write whatever, no matter how long or short.

I don't know. Things to ponder.

Until I make up my mind, you will just have to bear with me. In the meantime, here are some pictures from this Fall so far for your viewing enjoyment.

Picking apples

Trey did really well picking apples!

One of Mike's very large apples

Look at the weight of this fruit!

Final Product: Apple Pie Filling

And lots of applesauce!

An old friend from college, Elis, came to visit from Germany.
We got to reconnect when we traveled to Pottsville together to celebrate Julia's 8th birthday (not in picture, but her beautiful mother, Carolyn, is!)

Mike was given a LOT of peppers! So, we canned them, too!
I am going to have to move the jars
because they are making the cabinet smell!

My cousin, Ryan, and his lovely bride, Kim

My Aunt Tammy and I - she is due 4 days before me!

Posing at the wedding

Look at my beautiful niece!

Just precious!

16 weeks!

Taken tonight: Trey showing off his
squirrel costume

Celebrating Mike's birthday a few days early!

Trey wanted a picture, too!

Thankfully he also wanted one with his own parents, too!

Happy 30th Birthday, Courtney!!!!!

(It was actually yesterday, but we celebrated tonight as much as 2 pregnant teachers can celebrate in the middle of a school week...)

Until next time...(whenever that may be! Ha ha!)
