The View From Crescent Hill: September 2012

Apple picking time!

Sunday we went to Huber's Orchard to pick apples...a perfect way to spend an early fall day! Nate's parents and grandmother came too for the day. Andrew had a ball with the tractors and running around in the orchard of course!

Picking the perfect apple!

Family picture! You can barely see poor Harper but she seemed to enjoy literally hanging out right there!

My boys:)

"Look Omi! Here's another one!"

This little girl was as happy as could be just chilling in her carseat while we all ate lunch outside on the pavilion of the restaurant.

He wanted to give Omi an "eskimo" kiss

Back at the house, Omi entertained Andrew so Nate and I could make some apple pies.

Grandiddy and her grand-kids

Harper woke up and needed to be held by Omi...

...and Diddy

And Opaw too!

He made her smile a lot:)

More of August...

Andrew's version of playing with Harper is to "share" a toy truck with her...she feigns interest I think:)

We went to Bernheim Forest again on another beautiful Saturday.

This is how Harper and I hung out on the hike.

Another weekend we went to walk and hit up the playground at Waterfront Park. Andrew was loving it with the tractor "ride" on the playground.

Walking along the river

After church...and they were both still smiling!

Remember that minor house addition we were doing...yeah, it's still a work in progress. Like the crazy people we are, we had long ago decided to save a nice chunk of money by doing ALL the finishing work ourselves. Not sure what we were thinking...like we have time to do that with 2 kids! Hoping to post some finished pictures by Christmas and that's being optimistic!

Sweet Harper after her bath one evening

With our friends Chris and Dana (and their kids) at the Seminary's Fall Festival.

Why not climb right in with her? Luckily, Harper doesn't seem to mind.

Watching the gorillas at the zoo one morning.

Catching up....

I'm catching up on the months of August and September here...In August, Erin came up from Nashville with Leena and we got some cute cousin pictures. It was definitely a little chaotic in my parents' house all weekend! Laura and Josh came too but the only pictures I got were a couple ones of the kids...it takes a lot of effort to even remember to bring my camera these days so these are iPhone pictures, and therefore not the best quality but cute nonetheless!
