We had a wonderful weekend! It was an unusually warm weekend, which was very nice considering I had just about frozen the week before. Winter should be quite interesting here.

We decided to go apple and peach picking at Lyman Orchards outside of Hartford. It was forecasted to rain, but God blessed us with a beautiful sunny day! Josh loved pulling the fruit off the trees. So much so we had to drop a few that were bad that he plucked off before we could catch him. He also learned a lesson about hills. He took off running and we kept yelling at him to stop and come back but he went over to a hill and ran right down, his little legs couldn't keep up and he fell face first into the grass. We could hardly catch our breath from laughing so hard. Don't worry we're not bad parents, he wasn't hurt, and didn't even cry. I would give anything to have a video of that!

On Sunday we went to another church. That was kind of sad. Churches here are REALLY behind the times and don't have very good teaching. It's kind of depressing. If you get a chance pray for us that we could find a church that we at least want to go to.

After that we went to the second mall in town (that still amazes me, only 2 malls in a town this size!). It was more like the malls we're used to, unlike the one by us. It was nice to find a place with all our favorite stores. They even have a Red Robin! Josh made out like bandit with all his cool new clothes. Chris and I decided that we're living vicariously through him. Hey, if we can't look good, at least he will!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and is enjoying fall, the best season of the year. The leaves just started changing here, but as soon as they reach their peak we'll be sure to post some pictures, but for now, you'll have to settle for pictures of Josh!

P.S. I've tried like a bijillion times to upload the photos and something must be wrong with blogger, so check back soon and I'll try to post them as soon as it lets me
