Elliot's Autumn Day Of Fun...













Autumn has been absolutely beautiful up here in Vermont! The leaves are SO PEAK! We took advantage of the great weather last Sunday and took a trip to get a pumpkin and some apples.

Elliot had fun picking out his pumpkin, carving a nice face into it, and then lighting it once it got dark. Ok, so he had a little help with some of it.

As you can see from his face he is quite amazed with the world around him. You can almost tell what he is thinking..."Can you believe this Jack-O-Lantern thing, what are you people thinking, can I put it in my mouth?"


Chuck baked up some pumpkin and canned it, to be made into yummy pies at a later date. I think we will end up eating all the apples before they make it into a pie. Elliot has enjoyed some of the pureed pumpkin, as we are starting to trial some fruits and veggies. He is quite fond of bananas and pumpkin, however not so excited about the avocado.

The Stove


Moving the 700lb wood stove was interesting. It actually went a lot smoother than I thought it would, being 700lbs and all. Anyway... I couldn't have done it with out the help of my dad, mike, and sean. Thank you, you big strong beefy guys. The guy that we bought it from actually showed us that you can roll it on some steel pipe. The action that you see is me and sean moving the pipes from the back of the boards that the stove is on to the front.

There After Me Lucky Charms!


A perfect fall day for stealing gold!
