Last night Andrew and I were classic "new parents". Though we have had the pleasure of our little man's company for almost 4 months now, we still have moments of fear over non-fearful things. We had a very busy day as a family yesterday (we visited the apple orchard) and Jonah was off of his schedule all day. That led to a very fitful evening and a rough time going to bed. Once asleep though, he proceeded to sleep and sleep. At 5:30 in the morning I woke up and realized that he had been asleep for over 7 hours. He has only done this once or twice before. I went to the crib and couldn't hear him. Andrew got up to listen and he couldn't hear him either. (Mind you, we have a monitor in his bed that blinks every time he breaths and it was blinking the whole time.) So we turned the bedroom light on and took the cat tent off and had our fears calmed when we saw Jonah move. We went back to bed and after about 30 min Andrew asked if I was lying there just waiting for Jonah to wake up too. Of course I was! We stayed awake until 6:30 when he did in fact wake up. That was 8 hours of sleep. Not TOTALLY restful, but 8 hours none the less!
Jonah was so exhausted because we spent the day driving around looking at the changing colors of fall and visiting Wilson's Apple Orchard. Since it is later in the season, a lot of the apple trees were pretty well picked over, but we were just there for a little change of scenery anyway. Nana and Papa are in from California, so they were able to come with us. We all bundled up and took pictures while we waited for our order of a fresh apple turnover to come out of the oven. Paired with a little hot chocolate and coffee, it was delicious!! We opted to not go on the tractor ride this time, since Jonah was getting increasingly more tired and the weather was getting increasingly more chilly as time went on. However, we think that he will really love it next year. Before we left we got a bunch of apples (that the staff there had already picked) to take home to do our own baking. We didn't get any carving pumpkins there though. Gotta save something to do when Gramma comes in a few weeks !

Oh my gosh! Super cute you guys.
Love it! He's just too cute in his overalls and boots. Get that boy a tractor!
Love the pictures! It looks so wonderfully fall like there. We're still in the 80's here - although we've got rain coming in tonight. Nana and Papa look like they're having a blast!
