Family Pics 2012

We went with some family friends to our favorite farm and got some family pictures done.  Here's some of our favorites.  

 I love how the picture underneath all three of my girls have the same big smile that closes our eyes shut.  
 And that would be Cora picking her nose.  

 We picked our last round of apples while we were at the farm.  The apple picking has spoiled us here.  We got another big round of applesauce done, and it makes me feel like we're getting ready for winter.  
 Double fisting the delicious bounty.  
 There's Sydney helping us out.  

 We had to go to the pumpkin patch to get ready for Halloween.  Unfortunately, Cora wouldn't help but running through the house with Katie's pumpkin and it met an unglorious end.  But the other's did make it to our porch as Jack-O-Lanterns.  

My dear friend, Diana, that the girls love and call Sister Dewey, works at the farm on weekends, and we've been practicing a little folk music, so they had us play for a little after we finished taking pictures.  
There is something magical about being on a farm like this one, and even more so when you get to make music there, watch the big horses drive people up to the orchards, see kids come out of the corn maze with pumpkins, and smell the cider and doughnuts.  I have felt some sort of connection with the land here, as we've visited the farms over and over and seen how the weather and economy change what goes on..... I don't know.  I just like seeing the food grow and somehow feeling a part of it.  I guess it's fitting that our last fall here we took our family pictures here.
