fall fun

We are already missing Fall around here, although I can't really complain because we've taken walks all this week and it's the second week of December :).  We did all we could to get outside in the beautiful weather.  Lots of play dates and lots of playing outside and walks.

Visit from Papa.  B absolutely loves his Papa.  He wants him to play all day and sit by him and show him everything.  It is so sweet.

We went to West Lafayette for our annual Purdue tailgate.  It was a lot more work this year as compared to last to keep up with a mobile toddler! He wanted to walk run everywhere and it was hard to keep tabs on him between all the cars.  More importantly, he had a blast and it was so fun to have him back there and to experience it with our family.  Little Boilermaker already!

We did lots of playdates with our buddies Amber and Nolan.  Park days and the pumpkin patch! Barrett and Nolan act more like brothers than best friends.  Always wanting what the other has and arguing.  There may or may not have been some timeouts in the middle of the pumpkin patch for stealing each other's pumpkins and pushing/hitting.

We had some great weekends with Daddy off work for working out in the yard and enjoying the weather.  We even took some trips to the airport!

Visit with the Millers and new baby Emmett!  The older Henry and Barrett get, the more they are able to play with one another.  Every visit is even better than the last!  They played together (and fought over toys as well haha) and Henry enjoyed showing B how to be gentle with his new baby brother.  It was so fun to catch up with Jamie too!

We also had a play date with Ashley and Madi! We had a Panera lunch and then spent the afternoon at the park.  B wanted to be like the big kids and do all the big slides.  He also loved pointing out all the colors and shapes he saw on the playground :)  Afterwards, we made our way to visit Lauren and Harper!  Harper has gotten so big since we had seen her last.  She is such a sweet and happy baby!  I just love being with friends and their little ones.  It makes everything so much more fun!

I can only hope every Fall from now on is as great as this one was.  Here's to the holidays with our little man!
