Fall Festival

Our church had a fall festival last Sunday. The kids dressed up, played in the bounce house, went down the big slides, guessed the weight of pumpkins and so much more! It was a beautiful day and we had so much fun!

Liz and Charlotte (the skunk) and our little Samuel, he was a duck!
Samuel and his Bebe
He was eying my hamburger and every time I tried to take a bite so would he!
Lily Kate and the great pumpkin race! She did a great job~

John (on the left) moved in with us on Sunday, so he came and participated in the festivities! He seemed to have a lot of fun!

Trip to Atlanta

This past week Ryan and I took Samuel to Atlanta and Mississippi to see the family! It was a long trip and Samuel did GREAT!!! We had a wonderful time with our family and friends. We certainly miss being near our family and friends, but truly missed Wilmington while we were gone, knowing that this is now our home! Below are a few pictures of our trip!
Samuel's first mountain day experience! He had fun meeting our friends and making our Berry tradition one of his own!

We went to Mississippi to see Ryan's grandparents and for them to meet Samuel. This is Ryan's grandmother who was just so enthralled with Samuel the whole time! It was blessing to be with them!
The Cowan family get together! We ate, talked, and played the wii! It was so much fun!
Watching Grandmommie learn to play the wii...she was a natural!

Ruthie had heard about a pumpkin patch in the area and we planned to take Samuel. Right before we left we decided to check their hours and found out they were only opened on the weekends. So we took Samuel to Harry's and propped him up against the pumpkins they had there! I think we got some great photos and he was really interested in finding out what those big orange things were he was leaning against!
