She's Finally Here!

Hi All!
I am so proud to announce the birth of my first grandchild!
Addison Lou arrived today at 12:01 a.m. !  She weighs 6 lbs, 9 oz and she is 19 1/2 inches long.



She also has a beautiful head of dark hair and reminds me of her Mommy when she was a baby!
Pictured above and below with my Mom,  her great-grandmother Jane!


This is my Mom's first great-grandchild!  She has 25 grandchildren ranging in age from 1 to 30.

And a very proud, but worn out new Mommy.  Katie had a tough go of it.  She had to be induced because she began leaking amniotic fluid.  After 2 hours of pushing Addison entered the world healthy and gorgeous!
I am so tired myself and pretty weepy.  It's hard seeing your daughter go through such a tough time.
I will try to get around and visit you all when I can but right now I am going to go nap.
Take Care,
Cindy

A Pumpkin Patching we will go and a little Autumn decorating!

Hi all! 
After all the rain, flooding and gloom we had this past week, this week-end was a welcome reprieve.
With crisp, cool temps in the mid sixties and beautiful sunshine the trees are really starting to change!




And I thought Sunday afternoon would be a perfect time to take a little cruise to my favorite pumpkin patch!
It's a short cruise, only about 3 miles down the road from us.  I hope this will help get you in the Autumn spirit!




It's such a charming place with pumpkins galore! 


They grow so many different varieties!  And they have everything laid out and decorated it so perfectly!








Ahhh, gorgeous Mums everywhere we look!


It's such a spooky good time!






 I love these pumpkins!  Aren't they unique!



 Traditional.













  I got to have gourds!


Don't you just love these turban pumpkins!




Go inside and there are wonderful autumn displays!


I just love a little frenchy!


A frenchy topiary!



How about some yummy squash for supper!




When I got home I started doing a little more fall decorating to our front porch.


My pumpkin display!  I will probably rearrange it many times.



Thanks for coming by everyone!
Cindy
