Trimming the Tree
We had only been in the new house a week, before we put up the tree! We let the kids decorate the whole thing. So the ornaments ended up on the bottom half of the tree. A third of them on the same branch, thanks Garrison :) They had fun and each took a turn putting the star on the top.

We Made It!
As many of you know, we moved! It seems to have been a really 'smooth move' as well. I will say just say it was due to hours upon hours of planning!
We took a moving truck, our minivan and 2 toddlers across 14 states and over 3100 miles. It took 7 days, about 300 Barney episodes and 7 moving truck break-downs! Remarkably, during the entire journey - there were only tears once on Day 2, by Garrison.
We are enjoying our new town! It's much smaller than we are accustomed to - and NO traffic :) The scenery is breathtaking! So far, I love everything about it - except Wal-Mart.
Here are a few pictures of our new town!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
Last week we attended Grayson's yearly Belvedere Plantation Field Trip with her preschool. You may remember last years, you can read about it here.
We rode the tractor to pick (huge) pumpkins, went down a slide through a mountain, played in a hay barn and Grayson's favorite - the air pillow.
The field trip was a little bittersweet as we know it will be G's last time on a field trip with her class and teacher that she adores.

Pet Expo
Garrison is a HUGE fan of animals. And since we will probably never have one at home, we have to let him get his fill somewhere.
The Pet Expo was actually more entertaining than I thought it would be. We watched pig races, dogs being trained and saw all sorts of animals. The kids also got to bottle feed a baby pig. My favorite part of the Expo was when Garrison walked up to a group of people who all had Great Dane's (which were black and white) and said: "I pet yo cow?" They got a kick out of it - and I don't think I will ever forget either!
