Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

We visited the pumpkin patch and Kate had a ball just running around and looking at all the pumpkins and farm animals!

Tomatoes In October in Wisconsin!

Kate planted tomatoes with her Poppa back in May and surprisingly we still have tomatoes growing on them (at least 25) and it’s October in Wisconsin! Kate made signs that say “No Rabbits” and “No Deer” for them. We actually need one that says “No Coyotes”. We have four who have made a den in our neighborhood!

Another Milestone

Jackson is officially sitting up now! Sorry the photo is sideways…I wasn’t thinking about the correct direction when I recorded. I was just so excited at how well he’s doing. And by the way, no children were injured in the making of this video 🙂 Everyday when Jackson practices sitting, Kate loves to help him. I caught this cute picture when big sis was being an awesome big sis (which by the way, is all the time!).

Jackson Sitting Up!

We were practicing sitting up here. I think he’s already sick of me taking so many pictures. Poor kid….he still has 18 more years of it!Kate was enjoying reading to Jackson and helping him practice.Ta-da!!!

Kate – “Jackson, you’re stinking cute.”Mom – “Yes he is. Just like you.”Kate – “I’m not stinky. But I am cute.”

Last Saturday team JR Hearts ran and walked in support of a great cause…Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin. This is a cause very near and dear to our hearts and we can’t thank our family and friends enough for all of their support…many people made donations and/or walked/ran on our team. We had a great time while helping a lot of children! It was a chilly morning which is why Jackson is bundled so! (These pictures are posted backwards…oops! I’m new at this!)Kate and Daddy were exhausted after the event.This is Claire, Jackson’s nurse while he was in the hospital. She ran on our team! When she was holding him, he wrapped both of his arms around her and hugged her. He’s never done that before to anyone. It was obvious...
