Earlier this fall, Jonathan's sweet Aunt Gail passed away. We were blessed with the chance to go up "home" and sing with Sarahann and Jay for her funeral service. It was a great celebration of her life, and though sad, a wonderful time of being able to see family.
Jonathan and I wanted to download something for Connor to watch on the plane ride up...and we found the old school Sesame Street Christmas Eve special that we both loved and watched over and over as kids! Even though Connor was the only one with headphones, I could "hear" every word and song! :)
The plane had just two seats on each side, so I sat by the window to nurse Annalee with a little privacy, and Connor sat next to me (so he wouldn't be next to a stranger across the aisle)! Thankfully, Jonathan was within reach and was able to take Annalee when she needed some movement. It was our first time to fly as a family of four.
Arriving in Syracuse with a glimpse of the beautiful fall colors!
Jonathan's Colorado cousins...we hadn't been able to see them since our wedding!
The boys found a great tree to play under on the golf course!
Endless running. My heart aches for this scenery!
Annalee enjoying some time with her excellent Aunt Lisa.

Great Uncle Chip...just a little bit scared of any possible spit up. ;)
Great Grandaddy
Uncle Jay is so funny!
Dressed of Octoberfest with Marmee. I am sad to say that there are zero pictures with Papa, even though he babysat both kids on his own while we were at the service! Thanks Papa!
My birthday happened to be the weekend we were home (the last year of my 20's, sigh). Jonathan's mom put out all the birthday decorations and we headed to the apple farm...I love nothing better than apple picking on my birthday! We got to take the kids to our favorite apple farm for the first time, and that night we went out to dinner with my parents and they made me a classic birthday dessert...apple crisp!
Riding the tractor.
Yes!
Checking out the bees.
The many faces of one silly little boy...love them all! Photo courtesy of Nana :)
Saying bye bye to Great Grandaddy. We love you all!
