One day at a time: November 2012

- We went to the pumpkin patch with the Stokes. We ended up going to two pumpkin patches on Sauvie's Island. It was so much fun as I feel like Wyatt is getting more interested in doing things now. Andrew, Wyatt, and I did the corn maze before, which was fun. We had bought a groupon deal and it was in the shape of the Oregon duck. When the Stokes arrived, we went to the petting zoo, got some snacks, went on the hayride, and put the kids in the cows. so cute! Then we went to another pumpkin patch where we bought a couple little pumpkins.
- Wyatt and Raegan learned "Row, row, row your boat" and now Wyatt likes to do this a lot! He'll grab your hand and start saying "row row."
- Amy gets Wyatt to laugh so much!
- We gave Ruthie away. Since we are moving, we decided it wasn't a good idea to keep her and I am pretty sure I would be going crazy right about now if we still had her. We loved Ruthie and she was a great dog, but she needed room to run around and be who she is. A couple people fell through, and we landed on this family who lives on a farm with about 10 acres, which seemed like the perfect fit! It was more emotional for me to give her away than Andrew. I had been running with her and I miss that. They were a really sweet family who emailed us a couple pictures of Ruthie that next day and said she was fitting in well. I wonder how she is doing now? I know she is in great hands. We have a small house and I'm not sure that would be a good idea.
- We moved!! We finally moved out of my parents and into our own house. :) We are so thankful for the time we spent there and everything my parents did for us. We are literally 1 block from George Fox, so Andrew has been riding his bike to work. Amazing! It is a small 2br/1ba house we are renting for $595! What a steal! We are learning what it means to be an adult! (rent, garbage, water, electricity) We have walked to a local coffee shop and I still have yet to explore downtown Newberg. It is a really cute community and I am excited to be here.
- He can say what a fish and monkey say.
- He says bowl and will go and get it when I ask him to.
- He really is such a good helper.
- We got Wy a new carseat..finally! I love it. The cupholders work great for putting snacks in them!
- He calls water 'wawa'
- He puts his arm up for elephant.
- Learned the word hot. We taught him that the heater is hot when it's on, and he'll go over to it (wether it's on or not) and say hot. :)
- My mom took Wyatt and Raegan, with Kelley, up to my Grandma and Grandpas and Grandma loved showing them off. My sister sent me pictures of Grandma carting them around in her walker. I guess she stopped at everyone she passed to show them off...they are pretty cute!
- Some of his favorite books are, "Go, Dog, Go," "Are you my Mother?," and "Where the Wild things Are")
