Pumpkin Patch!

We had a lot of fun at Fall City Farms pumpkin patch today! And we did everything there was to do there: got lost in the haystack maze, saw animals up close, took a hayride, ate homemade donuts and fresh apple cider, took pictures by pumpkins and scarecrows.....and oh wait-we forgot to actually pick pumpkins! Nate and I ran up to the grocery store tonight and got some good ones though! :)

It was Riley's turn to wear the pumpkin costume to the pumpkin patch - Nate wore this on his first trip to the pumpkin patch 2 years ago!

I love that Riley is laughing at Nate in this picture. Just recently she started laughing at him when he has high energy (which is quite often) and he loves the attention!

Green Sheep Play

Today we saw the Green Sheep Play at the Seattle Children's Theatre with a bunch of our buddies. We all went last year as well but the kids seemed a little more into it this year. The stage is decorated like a sheep pen and the kids get to sit inside as the actors and puppets move around the outside. It was Riley's first play and she loved it!

The whole gang (almost-two couldn't make it to the play). We all met when our first kids were less than 4 months old.

Nate, Riley and Addie enjoying being sheep! Nate cried for about 20 minutes when he had to stop being the yellow sheep...he was a little bit obsessed with it to say the least.


Mommy, Riley and Nate posing next to the sunny sheep on a very rainy Seattle day. (I need to work on holding Riley better when she is wearing a dress-whoops!)

NYC/NJ Weekend

We took a quick trip to the East Coast last weekend but we sure packed a lot in while we were there!

The Iyers meet niece/cousin Cameron - 2 1/2 weeks old! In this picture: Sabrina, Joey, Cameron, Meg, Riley, Nate, Ramesh.
We also got to see Aunt Raji and Uncle Josh, my cousins Katelyn and Jason, Gramps (he traveled with us) and our good family friends Becky and Terry Scholl...busy and very fun day in NYC!

I love this picture - these three kiddos kept us quite busy! I can't wait for November when all of the cousins will gather in California for Thanksgiving...we still have yet to meet our niece/cousin Sadie!


Nate's NYC nap with Dad and Auntie Raji looking over him.

Our dear friends Bryan and Janine (my college roomie) and my beautiful Goddaughter Jenna! I am honored to be her Godmother! We wish we had more pictures from the baptism but Mesh couldn't man the camera because he was holding both kids.

Fall is in full swing

Riley and Nate going to our first day at Toby School. We are in a co-op sibling class so all 3 of us go to school together for a couple hours once a week. This is Nate's second year.

Nate carrying his lunchbox into school...he wanted to go in by himself.


My little pumpkin.

Nate and Riley - this was the best shot even though Riley is eating her hand.
