The Great Pumpkin Patch

Wow, time flies when you are having fun! Where
did summer go! I love fall actually. And I love traditions - and to me fall is the time that ushers in holiday traditions! So every year we have taken Mackenzie to the same pumpkin patch -

This rustic apprearing patch is right on 2 of the busiest streets San Jose has. But its a tradition our family has started.



This is Mackenzie at about 6 weeks in 2006







In October 2007 Mackenzie wasn't even walking yet, and her hair was still growing in. She was teething a lot, and only had a few words in her vocabulary.







This years trip was different - she had been seeing the tumkins every day on our drive home from work - well actually our drive anywhere because of where the patch is

we drive passed it about once a day if we are out.

We went on Friday, October 10th. And she was so excited - she just yelled tumkins over and over. She will be a peacock this year - but if you ask her she is a buttaply.

We hope you are enjoying fall and all it has to offer, football, sweaters and scarves, stew and warm yummies - and traditions.
