Yesterday marked our third year picking apples at the same orchard on Columbus Day.
As a military family it is cause for celebrating tradition when you've done the same thing at the same place more than two years in a row.... I'm finding this out. And I am big on tradition so this was super exciting.

I went and looked at pictures of Eve from the three years of picking and was amazed at how she has changed!
This is 2006 - she was 3
This is 2007 - she is 4 and finding out apples don't come off the tree any easier than when she was 2!
Judah has changed a lot as well....
The first year we went apple picking I was pregnant with Judah

This year he's picking and eating his own apples
While I am pregnant yet again and looking extremely "poofy" in Daniel's high loft vest. I was freezing!
I don't know about you, but I am seeing a pattern here.
If we were to live in Vermont many more years we may end up with the six children that Eve informed us yesterday she'd like us to have. I gently suggested that perhaps she have the six children herself and I'll come help her when she does. Sounds like a plan to me!

Wow, what memories...you inspire me to try to have more traditions like that. I love the pictures. Man, how Eve looks like a "baby" still at 2 and then all grown up at three! And Judah, what a little man he is!
I love traditions as well, although we really haven't been able to have/keep that many. But I'm going to make an effort to have traditions.
Love all the pics! My goodness Eve has really changed and Judah is just adorable.
Just got back from a retreat in TX and so...I'm trying to catch up on all my fav blogs!!! lol
Hope to hear from you soon.
You are doing an incredible job! I love the way you're making an effort to make memories with your children and make time for family time...we all could learn alot from you and your family! Wish I could've learned that early on in our marriage.
Great pictures! I gotta say, and I know I'm in the minority, that I like your brown hair better! Shocking huh?!
Love you-
Mom L
Great pictures, and great traditions.
Sorry I am SO behind on my blog reading. All LW's apponitments and su ch lately!
I know what you mean about the military tradition thing! The last couple of years we've gone to this corn maze/pumpkin patch and I thought how sad it was that Joe won't be here to do that this year - but I'm still going! Have to get pics of Kayla in the same places to compare from year to year :)
Great pics from the apple picking, and from the memories past!
What beautiful memories!!!
We have had a baby everywhere we have been stationed (three places). No wonder my husband doesn't want to move again!
I've been pregnant every time we've moved. Sometimes just barely, but pregnant is pregnant! And I have kids from every duty station...Colorado, Germany, Illinois, Georgia...my souvenir babies. :-) They're better than those silly little spoons.
Great Pictures.
It's amazing how much they have changed through the years but still haven't. (If that makes sense lol)
Looks like so much fun. I want to go so bad lol. I'm trying to find a place around here we can go pick pumpkins but seems like the closest is 2 to 3 hours away.
Great Pictures.
Beautiful...We're big on tradition too, but we're still in the forming stage. I love the picture of Judah with the apple in his mouth! That's hysterical, and so very very BOY. :-)
I love the 6 kids idea.....keep us posted on that one...lol.....I love traditions too...we do a pumpkin patch tradition every year.
Your kids are so adorable!!! I also love apple picking! We have gone before as well..although not this year. I should post some pics from last years apple picking on my blog! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the pregnancy!!! Three is wonderful (that is how many i have!)
You guys just make us proud to be your grand-parents. Love seeing your pics and reading your writings. You write so well. You follow in the footsteps of your gram.
Lots of love,
Poppie
