Non-Newborn-Related Fall Events

Laura Malinda's been consuming a lot of our attention lately, but we have had a lot of fun with Charlie the last few weeks too. This Halloween, he went as the Rootinest, Tootinest, Shootenest, Cuteinist Cowboy in the West. Brandon went as an unkempt, sleep-deprived recent parent; not quite as cute. Baby sister and I were still in the hospital, but Charlie had a blast, especially when he caught on to the free candy idea.




Charlie helped with the pumpkin too. Brandon calls it "Appalachia in the Fall."



Here are some photos from our earlier visit to Fiddlesticks Farms just outside Midland. Charlie went NUTS for the corn maze. Perfect place for him to dig in the dirt and make his parents chase him, which are his specialties. And the many visits to the death-drop slide wore out Brandon faster than it did Charlie. What a happy Fall!
