Master Liam Adam Dixon

I would like to introduce you to Liam Adam Dixon. 

He was welcomed into this world on Monday, October 24th. 

Mother and son are doing well.

This little guy has already endeared himself to Grandma. The day he was scheduled to arrive, the Front Range of Colorado received snow in excess of 12" in many areas. I would have had to drive my daughter through that snow to the hospital. But instead of waiting till that day to be born, Liam decided to arrive two days early! He's already earned a special spot in my heart. ♥

Pumpkin Fields

This past weekend, my daughter, her kids and I went to choose some very lucky pumpkins to come home with us and be part of our Halloween celebrations. We went to a large farm not far from my house, Rock Creek Farm. There are over 100 acres of pumpkins which are grown here. 

I swear, when we drove up, I thought  I had gone to Pumpkin Heaven!! The fields were orange with the pumpkins that were waiting to be chosen! Next year I'm going back earlier in the season so I can partake of all the orange pumpkiny goodness!

It was oh, so hard to choose which ones to take home, all the pumpkins were gorgeous. But finally after traversing many fields, we were able to find some lucky gourds.

If ever there was a sincere pumpkin patch for The Great Pumpkin to rise out of, this is it!
