Back to blogging

I'm not sure where the time went but I've been back from maternity leave for a whole year now, meaning Max is 15 months old. Time to get back to the blog. This weekend we took a trip to Davis Farm for a tractor pulled hayride to the pumpkin patch along with our friends Matt, Candace and their baby, Ben.

 

Us on the hayride.

 

 

 

Sunday night was our turn to host our Sunday Night Football dinner rotation. I had baked some lasagnas and pulled them out of the oven just as the friends arrived. I then let them cool for about 15 minutes before cutting them. Max was playing near me with his Duplo table when I turned away to start cutting. I turned back after only a minute or so and found he had climbed up on to the Duplo table and was squatting on it. I ran over and pulled Max off with a stern "No climbing!" and of course he immediately climbed back up. So now we've got a climber!
