This weekend we picked out pumpkins at a local pumpkin patch. The girls picked out little mini-pumpkins and then decorated them with paint. The next day, we went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden for their Goblins in the Garden. This is a very popular activity in...

Tommy spent his first week sleeping, eating, crying, having his diaper changed and being cute–not a lot of demands on the little guy at this point. Grandma and Grandpa Fife (“Grandma and PopPop” according to Chloe Jane and Cara) visited him at the...
