Puntin Patch!

We no longer call them pumpkins...in our house they are puntins. The excitement that puntins bring Cole is amazing!

So...because of his love, we packed up and headed down to the Pumpkin Patch on Friday afternoon. Schnepf Farms is about 30 minutes from our house and very close to Shawn's current jobsite, so a perfect place for us to meet for some family fun.

This was our first experience of letting Cole run free in public. To those of you who know Cole, you know that letting him be free is a risk, always a risk. We packed the Bjorn for Kenleigh and planned to put Cole in the single stroller that was in the back of the Tahoe. But...when we arrived at the patch we realized it was too warm and too sunny for a 6 week old baby, so Kenleigh got the shaded stroller and Cole ran free. He did surprisingly well and only had to be chased a few times.

Cole got the chance to climb on hay, ride the carousel, go to the petting zoo and ride the train. He and mommy rode on a carnival ride as well...I was more scared than he was by how high up the ride went!

I promise that Kenleigh really was with us at the Puntin Patch...she just stayed cozied up in her stroller the whole time. This is when Cole started to say, "Hole push, Hole push..."

We are celebrating Cole's 2nd birthday this Sunday with some friends and family. Grandpa Fromhold and Nana are even coming to town. We are having a Sesame Street party. Really, let's face it Elmo is his favorite, but I decided to try and mix it up and invite Big Bird and Cookie Monster as well.

I also wanted to include that Kenleigh and I went to have lunch with my girlfriend Karla last week. Karla and her husband Gary just moved into a new house that we hadn't seen. It is gorgeous, love it Karla!! Here is how Kenleigh enjoyed our visit to the Renne's house while Karla and I caught up.
