Catching up on Life
I’m way behind in putting up some fun pictures from our time with friends at another pumpkin patch. Krista and I took the kids to Vertuccio Farms for the morning and had a fun time building more memories with the kids. Asher loves his buds! Anytime I say we’re going with Chase and Carter, he immediately yells, “Ms. Krista and Baby Hannah too!”
We also got to spend a morning with Shannon and Micah at the Phoenix Children’s Museum. We’ve been to a lot of places around town, and this place is for sure one of our favorites. It’s a kids paradise. Asher cracks me up in the grocery store/kitchen area. I think he could spend all day in there. He was filling up his cart and looked to me and said, “Oops! Mommy, I forgot, we need milk!”
We carved our big pumpkin this week, and of course Jeremy, the artist, made a masterpiece. A big pumpkin, eating a little pumpkin. It’s pretty great. If I were in charge it would have had three circles and one oval. I’m so excited for the holidays this year, Asher is getting so big, talking up a storm and really enjoying things now.
So, after our last ultrasound seeing Paxon, and his little wave to us, we left there feeling more hopeful. It’s amazing how one little thing like that can change your perspective. It felt like he was saying, “Hi Daddy and Mommy, I’ll see you soon.” I think this has been one of the hardest parts about dealing with what’s going on with Paxon. Balancing being hopeful and realistic with what we’re facing. It’s incredibly difficult and a bit of a roller coaster ride. But, right now, we’re hopeful we’re bringing him home, and we want him to have a place of his own. So, here’s the bedding and paint we’re going with. Isn’t it cute! We’re going to go with a tree animal theme (I think we made that up) and have baby birds and owls in there for him :).

Great post, Rach! Our trip to the pumpkin patch was so fun! I literally LOL when I saw the picture of our unsuccessful attempt at getting the 3 boys to put their heads in the little cutouts–especially seeing the pumpkin in Asher’s spot made me laugh! I love that Ash always wants to include Hannah & I–what a thoughtful boy, making sure everyone is included!
And–Paxon’s room–this makes me smile the most of all. We are feeling hopeful & joyful right there with you!
Rachel, Paxson’s going to love his new bed!. Super cute! I love Asher’s comment about needing milk, he cracks me up too!
Great choice for Paxon’s room. I love the color scheme.
It’s so fun that you have so many places to visit and enjoy with your friends. Love the pictures, Rachel!
Awesome pumpkin…that could win a contest! I am glad you guys have been having fun out with our friends.
What a fun post! Loving the outings and all of the pumpkin fun! And I absolutely love your choice for Paxon’s room! We are praying and are hopeful with you, friends! I know I’ve said this before, but Paxon (well, and Asher too) is one lucky little boy to have such incredible parents… loving him, praying for him, and never giving up on him. SEE YOU SOON! 🙂
I am seriously impressed with that pumpkin! And I love what you’ve picked out for Paxon-it’s perfect. Glad you guys have been having so much fun around town.
That is the wildest cutest pumpkin I have ever seen… Your pics are too cute as usual and I just love your new little home for Pax… Love those colors… And I am sooo sooo happy you got that wave… It is in the little things that we appreciate much!!! 🙂
Wow,what fun play dates!
