Pumpkin Carving

Gavin & Sophia with their super cool carved (and stickered:) pumpkins!

I am so glad that their Daddy is artistic because if I tried to carve a pumpkin, they would not end up looking like that!

Rolling up their sleeves and ready to get started...

One down and one to go....

The finished 3 pumpkins....one for each kid...

I had to get in on the action a bit too.

Proud Sophia and her kitty pumpkin.

She just loves to pose for the camera:)

October Days

The kids have sure spent a lot of time riding their bikes this fall and they are both getting so good on them!

Family Game Night:)

This year we went and picked out our pumpkins at a pumpkin patch. The kids had a blast finding that one pumpkin that was growing there just for them....we also picked up one more little pumpkin for our baby that will soon be making his appearance:)

Proud owners of their new pumpkins...so cute:)

Berger Baby Boy Update

Well, as of tomorrow (Oct. 31st), I am 36 weeks along and officially have 3 weeks left to go until my c-section date that is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 21st.....oh boy, I can hardly wait! I am soooo ready to be done being pregnant and ready to meet our little baby boy! Everything has been going pretty well but I was measuring a little bit under so last week I had an ultrasound just to make sure that the baby was the appropriate size...and he was! At 35 weeks then, he was about 5 lbs, 6 oz. and measuring right at 50% all around. They expect him to be somewhere around 7 1/2 lbs. at birth. In the top picture I am 35 weeks along and the bottom one is back when I was 31 weeks along.

We are all so excited to meet our little guy....I really think that Sophia and Gavin are going to be great older siblings and great helpers for Mommy and Daddy too!

A Visit ToThe Apple Orchard

One warm fall afternoon we took a trip to Deerdorf Apple Orchard & Parley Lake Winery....and what a simply beautiful place it is! We sampled some apples (and bought some too), took walks through the apple orchards and vineyards, visited their farm animals, shopped in their little apple market and just enjoyed being there together on that gorgeous day on their cute farmyard grounds. I have a feeling we will be making many more visits here throughout the years to come since our house that we are building is now about 10 minutes away from there!
