On Friday, we went to our charter's annual apple orchard field trip. I wish I'd remembered to take a picture of the actual orchard, because it occurs to me that most folks wouldn't recognize these...trees. I mean, they are trees, of course, but they are also a lot smaller than those I remember seeing on the east coast. Fortunately, the apples are still delightfully delish, and apple picking is still just as fun - maybe even better since the littles don't need ladders - at least not for apples on the lower branches.
I always wanted a big brother, so I was thrilled that my first baby was a boy. I just melt whenever I see him do things like this - like reading I Love You, Stinky Face to his little sister. This 'being a mom' thing just rocks.

The trees at U-pick-it orchards here on the East Coast are small too. I think it's a relatively new development.
The coloring in the first picture is so old timey-I love it. I thought it must have been you as a child...and I kept thinking, "Wow! You look just like your youngest!" Oh well.... great picture!
