A Patch of Pumpkins

On Saturdays, my sister likes to come out to the boonies and visit my little family. This past Saturday we all took a trip to the pumpkin patch. Halloween has always been a favorite holiday for me and Mig, and we hope Salem feels the same someday (especially because it was on Halloween that we found out about him). So, although Salem is too young to appreciate the awesomeness that is fall/harvest/Halloween/Dia de los Muertos we felt that there is no better time than the present to get him started!

This pumpkin patch is so adorable and its a local company so that makes you feel warm and fuzzy when you're dishing out your hard-earned cash.



Out first adventure was through the little tarp maze, which was fun and confusing at the same time!



We then took him into his very first spooky house!



And the necessary photos of my pumpkin with a bunch of pumpkins!



After all the excitement, little man couldn't help but crash out!

The Scariest Halloween Ever!

Miguel and I spent Halloween Eve in Salem, MA, which I have always wanted to do. We were at the very beginning of what was planned to be a year-long honeymoon filled with travels of the U.S.

However, on October 31, 2009 we discovered that only four weeks after our wedding, I was pregnant. This day will go down in our history not only as our 4-week anniversary, but as our scariest Halloween EVER! I'm still flabbergasted as to how this happened (not the birds and bees part, but the timing and all). How is it I went from a carefree, traveling newlywed to a mother-to-be in just a month's time? Needless to say our trip had to take a serious turn. We went from the northeast to the northwest (by southern route) in about two weeks and ended up back in Colorado.
Currently, we are struggling to find employment, living in my parents' basement and simply trying to hold on. Thank goodness we have each other for I don't know what I would do without my Miggy. So here I am, a thirty year old wife and soon-to-be parent asking myself, "what happened?" Talk about expecting the unexpected and being forced to be flexible.
