I can finally feel the difference between summer and autumn here in L.A. Love this weather. Cool, crisp, nice-enough-to-snuggle-a-bit-under-the-covers weather. And to take advantage of the beautiful temperatures, we took the kids to a pumpkin patch this past weekend. It was a nice time for everyone. At first, we were disappointed that there was no petting zoo. The kids could only see the animals from outside the pens. But as they sat there admiring them, Jude noticed the goats and the hogs walking around in their own feces and in that instant was very upset that humans were born with noses. So, not so much a disappointment after all.

I had an especially depressing week at work, so the time with the family was particularly refreshing. Being out in the open, away from the busyness of life, was just what I needed. We all had a lot of fun making our way through a corn maze, the kids had fun running through a haystack maze, and we picked a pumpkin to bring home at the end... which we had fun carving the next day.
Not bad for our first attempt:
And a few weeks ago (September 27), Jude lost his first tooth:
So cute, right? I just don't understand why he won't listen to me and stop growing up.
