Fall Farm Fun

 

We took a drive out to a local farm to pick a pumpkin, play on some tractors, hayrides, buy some farm fresh produce….

Green acres is the place to be, farm living is the life for me,land spreading out so far and wide….. well, we can dream anyway :)

Finalization

Just some random pics from the finalization hearing.  The hearing went great if you don’t count my sobbing my way through the questions, good thing they were mostly yes and no answers. Oh and then the part where the Judge asked Andrew if he wanted Ethan to be his brother…. yea, no comment on what Andrew’s answer was!  Never mind that he’s been playing with Ethan, wanting to hold him all the time, smiling at him, laughing with him, tickling him……. did I mention he thinks it rather funny to say the opposite of what he means?
