This year we went to E.Z. Orchards to pick out our pumpkins. Thankfully, we now how to make our own fun, because it was like a ghost town there! We went around noon, and there was only one other family in the whole patch! Anyways, we were able to visit with the animals, sniff some flowers and pick out all our pumpkins. Ada got to pick out hers and a little one for baby. She took the job very seriously and was proud of herself when she found the perfect ones. Good Job Girly!
By now, everyone has probably already heard our news, but Ada would like to remind you that she is going to be a big sister :) We are so excited to be having another baby, and we cannot wait to see Ada in the big sister role. She is going to do such a great job at it. She has always been such a thoughtful little girl, and seeing her around babies just melts my heart. This is going to be a very lucky little baby.
A couple of weeks after Ada's birthday, we decided to move her into a big girl bed. It's a twin size bed, so she looks so tiny in it! She did great, just like every other transition in her life. She always makes things so easy on us. It was a lot of mixed feelings (on my part) those first few nights, because my little baby was doing another big girl thing, but I knew she was ready. In the last couple months, she has only fallen out of bed once, and with barriers on three sides, that is tough to manage. She had gradually scooted herself all the way to the foot of the bed until she finally rolled off the edge. Mom snuggled with her for the rest of the night :)
This was our second and final camping trip of the Summer. This time, our good friends, Cory and Amanda invited us to join them, and we were happy to oblige! Again, the weather was not great, but at least we didn't get rained on this time! It was so nice to have twice as much camping gear and twice as many toys for the girls. They really enjoyed eachother! Now if we could just figure out a way to get Ada to sleep in on these camping trips...
So three months after getting home from our Disney World trip, Ada decides that, Yes, she would love to wear her beautiful princess dress! This girl, who once would run away from costumes in terror, now chooses one daily to spend a little time in. Funny girl
