Making Memories!

It's been ages since I've written, but we've been off making memories. October flew by. It's one of my favorite months because it holds a special birthday and a fun holiday. It's also full of hay rides, pumpkin patches, fall scents, and yummy coffee.

We went to Layman Family Farms again and tho the price intimidated us at first, it was welllll worth it and we'll do it again next year! Meredith had so much fun. She rode all the rides, picked her own pumpkin, and begged for kettle corn. :)

 


Meredith ran the Run For Their Lives 1K. Err.. she didn't run it as much as she was carried or walked it. BUT we supported an amazing cause (www.r4tl.com or www.freedom424.com) and made another memory.

 

Meredith celebrated her birthday in Richmond, with a few friends here in Lynchburg and then with a big party on the shore! It was a whirl wind of a weekend on the good ole ESVA but it was soooo worth it!!!

And yet another memory made was our first trick-or-treating experience. We've always gone to TRBC's trunk or treat, but this year we decided to try the real thing. We went to Wyndhurst with some friends and Meredith LOVED it. She was such a big girl... going up to every house all by herself... proudly saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you!". She was SUPER pumped about her candy stash at the end of the night. :)

Earlier in the day we went to Barnes & Noble's story time and trick or treated there. She dressed up as Doc McStuffins for that outing. That's what she wanted to be allllll month long. Then, the day before, she sweetly asked if she could please please be Snow White... and I didn't say no. :) So... Halloween night she was Snow White. :)

And now it's November... and Election Day. Please... exercise your right to vote. It DOES make a difference. I remember going to vote with my mom & dad when I was little and today we are starting the tradition with Meredith. :)
