N is for Necktie.

This goes to show it's not just boys who accessorize...




Brecken is such a trooper! I change his clothes some times multiple times in an hour (not just for pics... all you Mommies know how messy babies can be!) and this day just happened to be one of those days. He seemed to like the tie, at least for a little while.

October Fun

My Mom and sister recently visited from out of town, so in the spirit of autumn we visited Mill Creek Farms. Mill Creek is one of Quincy's fun spots to pick pumpkins, enjoy hayrides, explore the corn maze (although the rain has dampened the fun a little there) and of course my favorite--take pictures!



We found two "perfect" pumpkins and took them home to scrape out the guts. I let my family take that job; I'm really not one for "goop", so thankfully Mom and Aunt Tiff took over. Brecken got to enjoy them afterwards! See...

Time Flies...

It has been entirely too long since I posted last! Time flies while I'm sitting at the computer editing pictures--cropping here, filters there... 2 hours later... ooops--forgot to post again! However, I've now put blogging on my "to do" list, so hopefully I can keep everyone more informed of what's new (pictures and otherwise!)

Brecken is now 6 months old! Life as a Mommy is amazing. It's this cool club that only other parents understand. I highly encourage it for all married folk (just get some "alone" time in doing what you want before you take the plunge!) Everyday I just stare in awe at how smart Brecken is becoming. His newest trick is raising his arms above his head and then flapping them... in other words, flying. Sounds minimal, but exciting to watch as he learns how to use his arms more and more. 

We visited the Soldiers and Sailors Home recently with Aunt Tiff.  We actually went twice in one day. Brecken was uncooperative the first time (little did we know the next day he would get his first tooth!) but the second time was much more fruitful. Here's some pics... 
Aunt Tiffy took this one... it's nice to have her snap a couple of us since I'm behind the camera 99.9% of the time!
