This year we had six adorable little boys in the pumpkin patch. Two 5-year-olds, two 3-year-olds, a 7-month-old, and a 5-month-old. Perfect best friends!

Betcha can't tell which ones are brothers! ;)

My boys and me. :)

The weather was unseasonably warm this year.

Pumpkin Patch 2014

This is our fifth year of going to the pumpkin patch with our BFFs. (See here and here.) It's one of my favorite traditions!

Two 4-year-olds and two 2-year-olds. Perfect buddies!

Do you have any idea how lucky I am to have gotten a picture this good? My boys are SO hard to photograph!

I love this one. This kid has my heart on a string.

Scaling the pumpkins!

We had to continue our pumpkin patch tradition for the fourth consecutive year. This year we had five adorable little boys in the pumpkin patch together. It was great!

Aren't they so handsome?

Pumpkin Patch

Every October for the last three years (aka, for Caleb's entire life) we have gone to a different pumpkin patch with our friends.

I love this tradition. I think the boys do, too.

Nate and Anna got married in Dec. 2007 and welcomed Caleb in Nov. 2009, after almost a year and a half of waiting for a baby. He was born at 27 weeks gestation and weighed 2 lbs 7 oz. He spent 100 days in the NICU.

After a lifetime of struggling to eat enough to grow, in June 2011, Caleb was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Duodenitis(an autoimmune reaction to food in his small bowel). In July 2011 Caleb had surgery for a g-tube (a feeding tube straight into his tummy) and he has to abide by very strict dietary restrictions to manage his disease.

Russell was born in December 2011, at 39 weeks 4 days gestation, weighing a glorious 8 lbs 5 oz! By six months he was diagnosed as Failure to Thrive and went through some food restrictions, but by the age of 3 he was on a full diet, healthy and growing, and showed us that even healthy kids can be small!

In May 2015 Zachary was born at 37 weeks 5 days gestation weighing 7 lbs 5 oz. So far he seems healthy, although he's following in his brothers' footsteps and is a slow grower.

All that we know about our future is that All Bad Things Must End. We are just grateful that the best things in life last forever. We are grateful for each other.
