Alex at the P-patch

Wow- how much Alex has changed since March when I saw him last!  He is so big-boy now!

I met up with Alex and his folks {sister Audry had yet to make her appearance} back in October at

The Farm in Snohomish.   What a beautiful place! 

We had grand plans that day.... and our scheme was dashed by driving rain about 15 minutes into our session (weird, weird weather here in October) so we had to abandon their belly photos.

{insert pouty face here)  But I wanted to share a snip-it of the sweetness that is this family and this old soul who looks like it resides in this little toddlers eyes.  His serious, cautious and quiet nature seems to belong to someone 7 times his age.  Love that boy!

 

Visit to the P-Patch

In search of the Christmas card photo...... Since the kids had a day off from school- and I had managed to get the day off at work- I had hatched a plan to surprise the kids with a little trip to the p-patch this morning. To my horror- it was pouring buckets.... but we put our rain boots and big girl panties on and forged ahead!

After a completely unhealthy fast food breakfast-(as requested by the monsters) we decided that we were still headed to Stocker Farms in Snohomish- and that perhaps we'd be granted a brief break in the monsoon....

And we were- we pulled in- and it stopped!!!! So we beat feet for the p-patch and snapped a few for the scrapbook. We grabbed some goodies from their market and packed it on home.

After a quick trip to the doc to have Oni's hand X-rayed as a follow-up to last week's run in with the tether ball (who knew it was a full contact sport....) and looks like it's just a bad sprain- and not the fracture they originally thought it could have been.

We have settled in for some quiet- rainy-day play. :)

If you are looking for a great P-Patch- that's clean, organized and easy to find- Stocker Farms at HWY9 & Marsh Road, is IT! And they have probably some of the BEST apple cider on the planet right now- it's a must have!!!! You can find out more about them here:
