Finally Fall!

After a busy and warm couple of weeks, it's finally starting to feel like fall outside. Scott and I have both had business trips recently so it's been a bit of a whirlwind. Here's some highlights...

Halloween
Dargan was a cute little dinosaur, and neighbor Aria was an adorable purple octopus!
 

 
 

At one point during the evening when nobody was looking, Dargan climbed into the cooler full of ice and started dancing around and laughing!

Playing Outside
Dargan has loved playing outside, especially going down slides at the playground. Dargan and Scott take bike rides up to the local park and stop for a little playtime before heading home - it's a fun weekend routine! And now with the time change, there won't be anymore evening walks. :(

Furman Homecoming
This past weekend was Homecoming weekend at Furman. Scott, Dargan, and I went to the carnival on the mall Friday night and Dargan of course won the hearts of all the college girls. He even made friends with some frat guys! He had a fun time in the bouncy house, watched the marching band, and we got a photo with Sir Paladin.

 

Other Fun

Smart guy and his shape sorter - he got a triangle and a circle in the right place!

School pictures didn't turn out so great this year. 

He likes watching the neighbor's yard guy through the window.

"Reading" (everything is a "car").

Funny faces on Sunday morning

We got all fancy and went to church! He did such a great job in the nursery and behaved in "big church" when I brought him back for Communion. So happy :)

Dargan's New Bike!

You knew we wouldn't be able to resist for very long... Dargan officially has is first bicycle! It's a balance/kick bike (has no pedals and no training wheels) by Commencal (French word). Unfortunately Dargan's legs are still a bit too short to actually stand over the bike and push with his feet, so we bought a handle to go on the back so we can push him until he's tall enough. We went out yesterday for his first ride around outside and he loved it! He grinned the whole time. He also loves ringing the bell.

Helmet's on and sun is shining... perfect weather to ride!

Loving it!

17 Months Old (late!)

I've gotten behind on posting... eeks! Chasing a toddler around sure keeps us busy these days. Let's see if we can catch up on life in the past 3 weeks or so...

Brewery #56 - Carolina Bauernhaus (Anderson, SC)
My chorus had a concert in Anderson, SC so we took the opportunity to visit a newly-opened brewery in the area. They specialize in sours and wild yeast beers. The Wetmore grandparents were in town for the show, too, so we all got to go!

Grannie and Grandpa are so silly! :)

International Babywearing Week (Oct. 5-10)

Boy, it's hard to keep a toddler still for too long, but we still got a few opportunities for ups in honor of international babywearing week 2016!

Robins Hip Carry in Harmony Grape Haze 6

He likes taking "his" wraps off the shelf to play with them.

Fun with Neighbor Aria

Dargan's next door neighbor buddy Aria is moving away at the end of the month, so they've been enjoying as much time together as they can!

Breweries #57 (Thirsty Monk) and #58 (Blue Ghost) in Asheville

A group of us went up to Bent Creek near Asheville for some trail running and biking, then afterwards we visited Thirsty Monk and Blue Ghost Brewing. Sunday Funday! 

Miscellaneous

It's finally jacket weather!

Grocery shopping is exhausting
