Home Grown and Homemade!

Daniel decided to be Jr. Asparagus for the church's fall festival last night. With some help of bigidea.com, a sewing maching, black felt and some red paint we did pretty good! Don't you see the resemblance?

This summer Daniel and I worked very hard together to grow a pumpkin in our garden. We only made one, but we were really proud of it when we picked it yesterday....Daniel is still afraid of the stem, though!

Trip to Hot Springs

As a parent, there are things you never thought you would do. One thing on my list would be taking my child 4-wheeling with Paul. No, it's not that Paul is a bad driver, just that it is a really dangerous sport (or atleast that is my perception as a mom!) Well, in September Daniel took his first trip 4-wheeling. Although he didn't ride too long the first time, it was long enough for me!

After a tough day of wheeling, I decided the next day I would take Daniel to the Garvan Gardens - a gorgeous arboretum in Hot Springs. Not too sure how Paul felt about his boy spending the day looking at flowers instead of wheeling on the rocks!

All Boy!

Daniel is 21 months old now! Since we started the blogging life a little late, I'm afraid we probably won't go back and catch up, so let's dive in now. Daniel is ALL boy and loves anything that moves...trucks, tractors, diggers, cranes...he loves it all! Daniel got to ride in Paw Paw's tractor and combine a few times this summer and still talks about it. He even made Paul get a "plow" to put behind his tractor this week.

Daniel is also becoming Mr. Independent. He decided in the picture to dress himself. He wasn't quite too successful, but sure had fun trying!

OK, so there is our very first post. I hope you enjoyed it. Leave us a note....we'd love to hear from you!
