Fall

Uncle Josh spent the week with us, since he is going on his mission to Brazil in two weeks. We tried to keep him busy and show him the good sights of south eastern Michigan.

Henry has been practicing walking with shoes. He likes to stretch first so he doesn't pull any muscles

Henry also enjoyed his first doughnut and apple cider at the Cider Mill. I should say he gobbled down two bites and then became indignant when we didn't give him more. Mmm sugar.

Part of the Cider Mill was a nature walk. Josh and I kept asking what it was leading to and Ben had to explain that nature walks don't necessarily go anywhere.

Pumpkin carving. Always a good fall activity. I won't bias you by pointing out that the one on the bottom is the best. (Editor's note: The awesome one in the top left is a man with suspenders and a bowtie).

It's Happening...

Henry is walking. He's not very steady--he mostly does it to show off. His preferred method of transport is still crawling or being carried by Mom. But it's still amazing. My little baby is becoming a toddler....

In other, equally exciting news (maybe), Ben fixed our car this weekend! The driver's window wouldn't roll down. It's always slightly embarrassing going through a drive-thru and having to open your door to hand them your money. He did an excellent job, it works perfectly. Henry helped by holding a screwdriver and eating rocks.

Last of all, today is my little brother's 22nd birthday. Happy birthday Elder Fernquist. You're the best present Mom and Dad ever gave me.
