Fall 2009

Fall season is not only our busiest part of the year it is our favorite. There are so many things to do outside during the fall time from pumpkin patches, to apple picking to raking leaves. Here are a few things that we have enjoyed this Fall.
Chris was able to go with Lucas' toddler class to the Pumpkin patch on a school field trip and had a great time.




Lucas loved his pumpkin donut!

Fall also brings us OSU football which in turn brings us lots of visitors, which we LOVE!
On October 10th we had friends Jenn and Matt in from Indianapolis and Lisa in from Florida to attend the OSU vs Wisconsin game (which we won by the way!). Lucas and I stayed home this game and played while the others enjoyed the festivities of all that is The Ohio State University football game day. On Sunday we took Lisa to her 1st ever real pumpkin patch...I am certain that Lisa had just as much fun as Lucas! Here are a few pictures of that trip to the Circle S Farms Pumpkin Patch.
Lucas loved driving the tractor
Yea....when we are around friends and family we finally get some family shots!

Lisa and Chris hanging out in the hay bales.

Lucas on the hay ride!

On Saturday morning we took a nature walk and collected acorns while our visitors exercised. I just thought this was a cool picture!

On October 16th we headed to my cousin Andrew's wedding in Rockford Illinois. It was our first attempt at a road trip with Lucas and it was a great success. Lucas did great on the 8 hour ride and we have no fears about trying another road trip at some point (we do however have to thank the inventor of portable DVD players!). The wedding was lovely and we wish Andrew and Wendy all the best. Lucas proved to the rest of the family what a dancing king he was as he was all over the dance floor. It only lasted a short while before he crashed but he had a great time. We also got to enjoy the great pool area and time with family. Here are some pictures of our weekend.
Lucas LOVES his cousin JARED so much!!!

Lucas was making JARED crack up with how he blows bubbles (he sucks in instead of blows out--we can't quite figure out how to make him do it differently)

Lucas dancing like a crazy man during the dollar dance! Sorry Andrew and Wendy!

Dad And I :)
Here is all of our "Brechon" relatives. Nana would be so proud.
Suzi and John
Lucas being cute.
We rarely get family shots so we had to take advantage of the photographers :)
Chris and Lucas being silly--I use to think Lucas at least had my eyes....I guess not.
Jared and Chris being silly!
This is the first time that the victim and accused have been together in a room-Steve was extra careful this time..the last time Steve hugged Chris he literally broke Chris' rib!
Alisha modeling Andrew's fire hat in hopes to get Lucas to try it on....it didn't work. But we got a great picture of Alisha!
Alisha and Melissa
My dad and his baby brother Marty

Because we all drove there my mom was able to send some of my things from our basement that we have been trying to get to our house. My first priority was my toy box which Uncle Larry made for me when I was born. Here is Larry, Lucas and I with my toy box which is proudly displayed in our living room full of Lucas toys!
Well that is it for now. I still have lots of good times to catch up on however need to get a few things done tonight before I go to bed! Hope all is well.

Wow some really good pictures from the wedding. A great pic of you and your dad that was wonderful. The one with Uncle Mart and him was a good one also. Lots of fun memories that day. You are right Nana would be very proud... PLUS there were 19 missing in that picture. I think Larry said there were 47 in there. Unbelievable and more on the way..... She is smiling down on all of us I am sure of that. Love you all
