My lil' pumpkins

Brothers with their pumpkins!

 Kingston LOVES to smile and giggle, anything for a grin from you!

 Yep, that's the Taffe we know and love.  Not interested in hamming it up for the camera, at all!

Pumpkin Patch

Our playgroup's annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch was exciting as always!  It's a little more chaotic now that we all have 1 kid running and a baby strapped on, but fun nonetheless!

 The highlight for Taffe is always the same... yep, a train!  At first sight he immediately broke free from my hand and climbed through the entire train.

Happy Birthday to Christopher!

When I asked Christopher what he wanted to do for his birthday, he answer was "Time with you and the boys." Good thing cause that is definitely what they wanted, too!

We took a ride on the Ghost Train. Taffe liked it even though he claims it was too fast.

 Taffe and I both liked the cotton candy. A lot.

We also spent time with our littlest nephews.

While one would think a number 4 candle on the pie would mean something, well, we didn't have the right numbers. And Taffe loves the number four.  Oh well, happy birthday Daddy!

Dinner Time Delights

No, not delight in my cooking, although Taffe is willing to taste more and more of adult food as I take control of meals again!  That's another story... this video is about the good times my boys have during dinner.

Kingston is quite pleased to found his tongue.  He shows it off all the time!

Seven

Seven months old, and still as happy as can be!  Kingston now sleeps through the night, and eats a variety of foods. We all just love him so much!

Farm Day

The Falls Church Farm Day is definitely a new favorite fall festival.  Geared towards young children with lots of hands-on outdoor activities

 Last year, Taffe was in a stage in which he was fearful of all animals up close.  This year... he is a new man.  He pet every animal multiple times!  Very cool!

 The only animal not seen to be a favorite was the pony.  Taffe was all geared up tor ride a pony but the tears from other toddlers warned him against it.  Oh well, we painted a pumpkin instead! :)

Taffe in a Box

Never understimate the entertainment of a box.

Hey, I fit!

Where's Taffe??

Here I am!  You found me!!!

3 Friends and a Fire Truck

Taffe and his favorite brother/sister duo.  What could be better than climbing on a fire engine with your favorite buds?

Brothers

Good Times Together

We have been together, a lot.  Home sick, and avoiding spreading our germs we are learning new ways to entertain oursleves and each other.  Kingston is enamored with Taffe, and Taffe loves his brother especially when he makes him laugh.

The dinner table entertainment

I am so grateful that they love each other so much.

But trying to limit the brotherly kissing and face-touching during sickness... impossible.

When will the quarantine end??? 

Happy Kingston!  Who wouldn't want to see that smile?

I do think we are on the mend, so send your prayers and cheers to healthy babies and big boys!
