Fourth Month

October was a very busy, but very fun month for us. We had a lot going on: visited Michigan, had some visitors, and lived it up fall/Halloween style.

The first weekend of October, we took Liam to Michigan for the first time. There he visited with all three sets of grandparents. The plan was to go apple picking and to go to the world famous Four Flags Area Apple Festival. The weather did not cooperate though, so we nixed the Apple Festival and just bought apples from the orchard store.

We did get the photo op, though. Fret not.

Lunch at Zeke's in Dowagiac, with Liam proclaiming his gang affiliation:

And an outtake from the three-month pictures Damian took while we were there:

The second weekend in October, the Maurers came to stay with us because Jonnett was running the marathon (as were BethAnn and Kyle). We got to join Jimmy and Marilyn, BethAnn and Kyle, Scott, Jonnett, and Jane, and the Bacon family for dinner the night before the marathon. Meaning we got to take Liam into the city for the first time. I think he liked it:

We are so, so excited about sharing the holidays with Liam and we got to kick that off this month with Halloween. We took Liam to Sonny Acres, a really nice pumpkin farm/petting zoo/fall extravaganza nearby. There, we got some great pumpkins and some even more fantastic pictures.

You can see the rest of our Halloween pictures here.

Life with Liam continues to get better every day. He's such an awesome little guy and Damian and I are having a great time with him. Here are some more pictures from our fourth month as a party of three.
