Since my last post, we've been crazy busy! We seem to fill weekends with activity and enjoy every minute - well, almost every minute ;) Where do I begin...

We attended a safety fair and it was a hit primarily for the bounce house and firetruck bucket rides...

Sean turned 35...

We took a trip to Baltimore for a weekend - my parents flew up from Texas for a couple days and we decided to just meet them near the airport and stay in a hotel to save them from driving any more than necessary. And I'm not kidding when I say this is the best picture we have of the four of us - EVER...

Piper started solids...

Our neighbors share from their harvest...

We went to the State College homecoming parade...

Miles ate too much candy at the State College homecoming parade...

Piper steals Linda's chair at the Maces...

We attended the Boalsburg Fire Company open house...

Mommy had some girltime with Carrie and her daughter...

and that brings us to THIS weekend... What a wild and wonderful couple of days... My parents flew in Friday and out on Sunday. Those 36 hours are priceless to me. I do adore my mom and dad. And if you think I'm joking about 36 hours - I'm entirely serious. They arrived around 6:30pm on Friday night and left our house at 6:30am Sunday morning. From start to finish - we enjoyed a whirlwind of activity! 

Saturday morning began crazy early. Piper was up and chatting away at her grandparents by around 4:45am. Thankfully Nanni was happy to be up, so she took Piper out to the family room for some girl chat so my dad could sleep a bit more. Piper was ready for another rest by 5:45am, but Miles decided he was up for the day by around 6:30 or so. Nanni and Pop-Pop weren't going to waste another minute in bed, so everyone decided to get up, rise and shine!

The four of us left Sean and Piper at home to slumber and took off for an adventure. Dunkin Donuts was our destination and Miles practically inhaled the tops of at least 5 chocolate frosted donuts. He doesn't want to eat the bottom.  Only the top. And of course, with Nanni and Pop-pop in town, I decided to not enforce the "no more donuts until you finish what you have!" Chocolate ALL over his face. Unfortunately I forgot my camera.

From there, we returned home and gathered the rest of the crew so we could head off to Way Fruit Farm for the annual Fall Festival. This was our third year taking Miles and the first for Piper. We took a wagon ride out to the Pumpkin Patch - picked apples in the grove - flung apples with the sling shot (so funny!) -ran into many many friends - tasted kettle corn, apple cider and apple butter - the list goes on and on. Fun was had by all.

Afterwards, everyone hunkered down for a nice nap before gearing up for Penn State's win over Wisconsin. Sunday morning, before the sun had even peeked over the horizon, Mom and Dad hopped back in the car to head to the airport. Miles woke up to say goodbye to his Nanni and Pop-pop.

Then it was time for church - the Alpha Fire Company open house where we played dress-up and took an engine ride - back home for naps - then up to Harvest Fields for Calvary's Fall Fest.

I went back up to the office for my office hours and then to the grocery store to get us stocked for the week. By the time I fell into bed, I was completely. wiped. out. And yet, I wouldn't change a thing. :)

I'm loving this life.
