Pumpkin patch!

Today we took Aiden to pick out his very first pumpkin at the Stanly Lane Pumpkin Patch in Napa. Despite being afraid of the pigs (even the ceramic one featured in the last picture) Aiden had a great time smacking and tipping the pumpkins over, and trying to eat straw. :-)
And to top it off we used the navigation feature of Aiden's fancy new 'toy' to find the place. (Thanks to the fact that Pinky's Hot Dogs has been permanently blocked as a potential destination we arrived without incident)

Busy busy

We've been busy, busy here and have lots of updates. First and foremost, Aiden is still arguably the most adorable baby ever. Everywhere we go people still comment on how cute he is, how blue his eyes are and how easy going he is - we just smile and agree. :-) He is also very busy himself these days and gets into Everything.

Secondly, as of November 2nd I will no longer be unemployed!! I was offered a better position with a better salary than the one I had been interviewing for at Seminis - yay! It's an agricultural seed company so I'll be working to help design genetic markers that can be used to test breeding stock for things like disease resistance, drought resistance and improved nutrient value in cucumbers and melons. Definitely a change from horses but I'm excited!

Ok, on to the pictures....

Apparently retired climbing rope is a favorite for both dogs and babies alike
