Carter's Mountain Apple Orchard

We spent a Sunday afternoon in October with NanaSue, Bapa, Aunt Bekah and Uncle Steve in Charlottesville at the apple "patch" as Max calls it. We had nice warm weather but there weren't really any apples to pick. We did get to eat the amazing hot apple donuts they make there though!!

Welcome Emory Ann!

In early October we made a weekend trip(Yes we are crazy!) to Tallahassee to meet our new niece, Emory Ann Zierden! Max was so excited to meet his new cousin, 'Emory Am'. Despite the trip being too short, we had a great time and Emory is so sweet! Max and Addie had a great time playing and Lee helped Ben get started on his deck.

Snead's Pumpkin Patch

We picked the hottest day of fall to go to the pumpkin patch. Despite very high temps we had a great time in the hay loft, feeding the chickens, and picking a few pumpkins.

Children's Museum

One of Max's new favorite places is the Richmond Children's Museum. There's lots to do there inside and out with dinosaurs, water(His Favorite!), climbing, and some really cool scooters!

Welcome to the Whirlwind!!

Welcome to the Whirlwind! We are joining the Saunders and Zierdens in the blogspot! We thought this would be a neat and faster way of keeping everyone up to speed on the whirlwind that is our life and our little whirlwind-Max!
