Harbert fall festival

We have invited ourselves to be a part of the Harbert family (Poppy and Moo-Moo are Justin's parents), so when they have their annual fall festival, we are invited! Connor had so much fun at it this year. He rode a horse for the first time, took a hayride, drove a tractor, found a pumpkin, painted a pumpkin, and got a boat load of fun Halloween goodies! He had a great time! Mark and I were AMAZED that he rode the horse. He asks all the time to ride the "neigh" at meijer (the penny pony) but only actually makes it on the horse about half the time and has only once made it through the whole 60 second ride. He gets pretty nervous about a lot of things, so when Mark asked him if he wanted to ride and he said yes, we were shocked! And when he actually went through with it and didn't want to get off, we were speechless!! I am having a hard time downloading a picture of it, but just imagine the cutest little boy ever riding on a horse with a little red helmet on. Adorable!!

Poppy and Moo-moo are so generous to include Connor as one of their own grandchildren, so when Lily, Violet and their cousins got their Halloween goodie bag, Connor had one to match. He cried the first couple days because we wouldn't let him take the little cars they got him to bed. I made him a little bag for all of the cars because he has to take all of them (and there are 9) everywhere we go. It is so cute to see him carrying as many as he can in one hand and then telling me to pick up and carry the rest of them. He was so excited to drive the tractor he actually squealed with delight! He loves tractors! And he is wearing his new pajamas to bed tonight - they have firetrucks on them, so Connor is pretty excited about it!

We are headed back to Poppy and Moo-moo's tomorrow for a MOPS family play date and he will be riding the neigh and the hayride again, so I will get some pictures and post them soon.

We are so blessed to have such great friends that adopt us as part of their family and a sweet little boy to love.
