I have emerged from the depths of the hardest time of year at work for me...Christmas. When everyone is enjoying the end of summer, I'm trying to figure out how to design holiday catalogs. Believe me, snow in September is hard to come by. Ahhh, but it's almost over for another year.
I celebrated a weekend of birthdays with Nick,my favorite two girls and their parents. Beth, Phoebe and I share October birthdays. It was a beautiful weekend. Fall is coloring our world here in Vermont.
On Friday we went to Shelburne Farms.
The Farm Barn is full of animals that kids can pet, milk, feed and pick up.
Chloe has mastered the art of picking up Chickens.
Chloe, Phoebe and I got down to look at a calf named, "Latte."
We saw 10 little piglets and their big mama.
We had a great time. When we got home, we went out into the garden and guess what we found!
Chloe and Phoebe were able to take their pumpkins home, but I'm afraid grandson, Sean in Florida might not get to see his. There's always next year's pumpkin patch, though!
While I picked green beans in the garden, Chloe gathered ladybugs.
I know how lucky I am to have such a beautiful family. A wonderful weekend was had by all. I so wished it didn't have to end.
You are blessed. Looks like an amazing week end for all.

What a beautiful place, and how wonderful there are so many animals for the little ones. Enjoy them while they're young!

I can imagine that Christmas would get pretty old quick when it's nowhere near when it really is. Welcome back. Glad to see you got some Grandma time with those sweet girls!
