Making Friends and Getting Out!

Caedmon and I went to an apple orchard this week with some friends! Yes, we already have friends here; isn't that wonderful! One of the other pastors in town is our age, married and has two kids! We've really hit it off great! I'm on a bowling league with them as well...that's another story! (Not a very good bowler...they may wish they'd found someone else!)
Anyway, my friend invited me to got with a group of moms and kids to an apple orchard and I jumped at the chance! I've always said I couldn't wait to have kids so I could do these fun things!:)


Caedmon had lots of firsts that day! I gave him an apple spear hoping he'd just eat the pulp, but he ate the whole thing skin and all and didn't even choke! Yes, I know, first time mom, overly worried... Now I know that he's probably fine with lots of foods!
He also got to try cherry juice - my first sip and I cringed at the tartness! He loved it and didn't want to stop drinking! He also got it on his clothes as well as mine...those should be fun stains to get out!:(

And he got to be around other kids! We need to work on some of his social kids - attempting to pull girls' hair and pulling their shirts are not very good manners! But for the most part, he did great! And we had a blast!



Notice the cherry juice on the mouth corners and sweatshirt!

Glad to finally be out of the sling!


Enjoying friends and apples!:)

He didn't actually get a bite out of it.

Enjoying a picnic lunch!

Thanks Sue!:) I kind of figured, but you hadn't told me you had cousins up here, so...I wasn't sure. Bowling went better this week, but still not as good as the last week of school!:) Hope you're doing well!

Do they live close to me?! Do you know how small this town is??!!:) They're right in town. No, I've not met them. Umm, how should I go about it....walk up to the house, knock on the door and say, "hey, I worked with this crazy lady down state and she claims she's your cousin...can I come in?" What do you think?:)
