firsts this fall

• we have had a busy month tearing down wallpaper enjoying our first fall with a backyard.
• we went to gentry farm, not a first but somewhere we go every year for a classic fall-ish, pumpkin, hayride (with no hay), farm experience. 
• we went on vacation here for the first time.  clearly going in October only enhanced the beauty of that place!
• kyle has his first crush on a girl. what in the world. this is a boy who never used to even glance at girls, now he not only talks about this particular girl but draws her picture and blushes when he says or hears her name. he is smitten. and he is 5.  he sat by her on the bus to his field trip today, both ways.  it was his first time on a school bus.
• most of what we are experiencing with paige lately is a first.  she demands a lot of attention or finds a way to get it.  she got car sick for the first time on our vacation, that was exciting. 
• nora got her first tooth.  and had her first solid food.  it is going by too fast.
• we live close enough to walk to church,  definitely a first.
