Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch

We spent the day at Goebbert's Pumpkin Patch.  It was definitely different this year, but we made the best of it.  The boys had fun jumping on the big pillow, picking out pumpkins and checking out the animals.  

 

My 42nd Birthday

We celebrated my birthday more than a few times this year.  First I had dinner at Etta River North with Amanda, Holly and Stacey, then dinner at Maple & Ash with our neighbors Ritu and Sam, then we had dinner at Francesca's in the suburbs after family pictures and finally had dinner at Mia Francesca in Chicago with the 4 of us.  It was so nice spending time with family celebrating my birthday.  I'm so lucky to have such an amazing group of family and friends.   

 

Our 16th Wedding Anniversary ~ Boston & Maine Trip

Craig and I got to check something off our bucket list...going to Maine to see the changing colors of the leaves.  We spent one night (our 16th anniversary) in Boston and had a nice dinner celebrating 16 wonderful years together.  We took our first trip to Boston when we were first dating so it was fun going back.  We stayed at the Boston Harbor Hotel, which was right on the water with amazing views.  The next day we drove up the coast of Maine and stopped in Rockport to enjoy some fresh lobster.  We stayed at the Cliff House Maine in Cape Neddick, which happens to be the hotel my cousin Stu and his wife Sarah got married at (we couldn't go because it was right after Liam was born).  We drove to Kennebunkport, Maine and spent the day walking around the area and checking out the local stores.  It was such a fun trip and a great way to celebrate our 16th anniversary.
