Bishop's Pumpkin Farm







So I found this place on the internet that reviewed pumpkin patches. I wanted to take Isabella to her first pumpkin patch. She probably won't remember anything about it, but it was fun for us. We invited Lynne and the Winslows to join us, so it was a family affair. The place was huge and very kid friendly. I think we will take Isabella there again when she is older so that she can enjoy what it had to offer. They had a petting zoo, train ride, hay rides, pig races, slides, and lots of yummy food. Here are some pics from our day.

Baby Growth



It's amazing how fast our baby is growing. It's also amazing how fast she picks something up and runs with it. Last week, she couldn't coordinate her arms and legs to get in the crawling position. This week she has figured it out and is acting like a pro. She has even progressed to the next step of rocking like a rocking horse in her first attempts to crawl. No movement yet, but it's amazing that one week she couldn't get up in the position and the next week she could and won't stop doing it. Another interesting growth this week was holding her bottle. She is now making attempts to hold her bottle. It still isn't perfected yet, but she is trying now. For the last month we have been trying to get her to do this to no avail. Then finally in the same week that she decided to get in the crawling position, she also tried to hold the bottle. Sounds like a little thing, but I was pretty amazed.

Will we have a house? We're in, we're out. Two weeks ago we made an offer on a house in Antelope that was accepted. Then the bank didn't get back to us on questions about the home inspection. After 4 different kinds of paperwork, we are still in limbo. Last weekend, we thought we lost it, this week we found out we got an extension to complete the inspection. I hate this up and down thing. You get excited, then disappointed, then excited again. It's crazy. Say a prayer for us that all systems are go. We really like the house.

That's about it for now. Thought I would post a quick update. Take care.
