Harvest Time is Here!!!

10/24/08

This is one of my favorite pictures of all time. I absolutely love the depiction of Gary leading our family through a path that He can see clearly and the children are

trusting and following Him (as am I).

We went to a cornfield maze in our area and took the kids through it. This was one of the caterpillars they found along the way. Justus named this caterpillar "Josh".

Gary and the babes...

We finally purchased our pumpkins!!! Pierce wanted to hug on his.

As soon as Justus and Bella saw the pumpkins, it was immediate "drum line" time (both of them started at the exact same time, it was great)!

PLEASE watch this video and pay attention to their reaction to the words "pumpkin pie".

This picture makes me smile EVERY SINGLE time I look at it!!! We embarked on our first homemade pumpkin pie adventure this year! Can you tell they were apprehensive at first?

We had so much fun with our very first pumpkin pie!

They both got the courage up to dig in and help!

Bella stayed interested a little longer and helped with the mixing as well. After this VERY time intensive project, I am happy to report that we had two WONDERFULLY PERFECT pumpkin pies. Gary said it was possibly the best pumpkin pie he had ever eaten! Now the health factor of these pies is another issue entirely...

Guitar playing is still a pastime of the Goodman House.

Notice that Pierce had one on the floor too?

Just a little guitar time with J.
