Here it goes...

Okay, so I thought I would be able to type something in the e-mail as we invited people to view, that just goes to show how little I know about how this whole blogging thing works. I didn't think I would ever start a blog, but as Chris and I sat reading our friends blog several weeks ago, we both commented how much we enjoyed reading and seeing what was going on with friends that we don't get to talk to on a regular basis (and we even learned a thing or two about the ones we do). So here goes my attempt. Hopefully I will be more successful at updating this than I have been in recent months about sending out pictures of Miss Maddie. I figure it will be a good way for me to keep track of all the funny things Maddie says that I mean to write down but still haven't bought a journal to keep track of them. And it will be a great way of updating everyone on baby Emalyn or "Emalym" as Maddie calls her when she arrives. Well, I have spent way too much time tonight trying to get the first post published, so I am now off to bed. I hope to get pictures up of pumpkin carving in the next day or two.

Trip to Gentry's

We took Miss Maddie out to Gentry's Farm a few Saturdays ago but stopped by Uncle Brian and Aunt Sara's house (or in Maddie's world May-May, Max, and John Miller's house) to see their new puppy. He is precious!

Maddie loved him, of course! She has not stop talking about how "itty bitty" he was, which compared to Bentley's 75 pounds, at 3 1/2 lb Perry is tiny.

Then we were off to Gentry's....

She loved seeing the animals, but the turkey's gobble was a little loud for her ears. 

I think by far the highlight for her was playing in the grain. I didn't think we would ever leave the grain troughs! 

After going through the hay maze, sliding down the yellow tunnel slide, and seeing how tall we were this year, we picked our pumpkin just in time before a meltdown. She was asleep before we pulled out of Gentry's. She had a blast! We are going to have to make this an annual tradition, but I definitely learned not to ever attempt this outing alone. We were all exhausted!
