We had finally dried out long enough (after a week straight of rain) to take a family trip to Deanna Rose to see all the animals, and take a hayride to the pumpkin patch and pick out a few for our front porch.

We started Jett at Emler when he was just 6 weeks old! I still can see his little face at that age when we got in the pool once a week to kick around. He was super serious about swimming, and had a look of concentration and intrigue while we floated him around the pool.

Jett is now 15 months old and can now hold his breath for 7 seconds underwater and is learning the skills to set him up to be a great swimmer.

I have been pushing off doing a post where I talk about any and all the questions I get about food for a REALLY LONG TIME. I have avoided it because of a few reasons..

I am just going to preface… (like I always do!) about how much I love having a digital camera, and how it allows me to capture incredible memories and share them on my blog and social media channels. I will always be the one to convince you that purchasing a digital camera is worth the investment but I ALSO realize that smart phones make it easier to snap a good picture on the go. Your phone is ready to go right from your pocket, and how easy is it to instantly share a photo you just snapped on your phone? ..

HEY.

Here are some thoughts of the day.
