pumpkins!

Here we are picking out pumpkins to take home. Grant was very helpful in pushing them around and Alexa did a wonderful job in choosing the "perfect" one for each of us ;o) Happy Fall!!

the climber

Check out this face of pure joy and satisfaction!! Grant has mastered climbing on to chairs and couches - so look out if we're coming to your home!! This feat has added a whole new level of excitement and exploration to his life. Agghhhh!!!

leaves!

We had a fun filled weekend of playing in leaves at Nana and Grandpa John's house. After a whole week of rain, the weather cleared up for a day so we could enjoy it - it was awesome!!

new pet

It seems as though the Berryman's have added another family member... Alexa and her dad found a fuzzy brown and black caterpillar (forgive me, I don't know the species name) outside on the back patio. Of course, both of them agreed that this "baby" caterpillar needed a nice, new, warm and dry home. Out comes the Mason jar and voila! "Squirmy" has a new home. All I know is that he'd better not "squirm" his way out of his cozy new digs - or he might have to move on to caterpillar heaven!

Good, good and SILLY!

I had this great idea to have my picture taken with my sweet, darling children. Clint was the photographer and encouraging Grant and Alexa to smile. He kept saying "good job Alexa - you look so pretty!" So, I thought "this is going to be a nice picture!" Yay! It wasn't until much later that I realized that this is the face that she was making the whole time!! Tricksters!!! I still think she's a doll ;o)

Black and Gold

Here are my two favorite men wearing their Hawkeye colors proudly! I couldn't pass up this picture with matching shirts. Aren't they cute??

Take a picture of the princess.

After taking a picture of Grant in his new hat and mittens, Alexa said "okay, now take a picture of the princess!" Who can argue with that? So, here is the picture of our princess (also enjoying her new hat and mittens - Aunt Meghan helped pick them out so they're extra special ;o) Don't worry, Alexa is wearing her Hawkeye t-shirt underneath the sweatshirt!
