Let's Do a PUMPKIN PATCH THREAD........

This time last year we were headed to Vietnam to pick up Zane. We spent 3 weeks in country so Chloe missed Halloween and going to the Pumpkin Patch.
She was very excited to take her little brother to his 1st ever Pumpkin Patch last week.
Share your kiddos pictures!!!!!!!!!!!

Alex, I'll post a few more. For some reason when I shrink the pics; the clarity is not as sharp. But I LOVE this pic of Rach & Ry; the orignal is so much nicer. I have to order some prints to frame!

Keep the pics coming!

Theresa thanks for starting the thread. Chloe is such a big girl now. And as beautiful as ever. I love her curls. And Zane is a doll. I remember when you posted about finally bringing him home. Happy Anniversary!!!

Dee Rach and Ryan look so adorable together, and Judi, I can’t believe how big Miss Elaina is now. And such a cutie in her Halloween outfit.

Here are a couple of pictures of my “poser” Miss Sabrina. She went through a stage awhile ago where she shied away from the camera. But she seems to be over it. Ya think?! I wish I could share a few pictures of our precious little foster daughter, but for privacy reasons, we’re not allowed to post her picture or name on the forum. Let’s just say she’s as cute as a button. And we all adore her. Sabrina doesn’t even mind sharing her spotlight with her. Well, most of the time.

Let’s see some more pumpkin patch pictures. I just love seeing pictures and hearing updates. I feel like Sabrina has grown with all of your kiddos.

I can't believe it has been a year since you brought Zane home! Chloe is getting so big, and is so adorable!

Here is Tati and her best buddy Julian at the pumpkin patch!

I forgot my real camera at the pumpkin patch, so the only good one is of Owen. And so here's one of Ian sitting on his pumpkin in our kitchen, and one that cracks me up, with them sitting on their pumpkins--O drinking milk, and Ian all quirky!

Abe had fun at the pumpkin patch with his Guate friends. He is in a phase where he repeats everything, climbs everything, and he is such a ham. We are one very happy family!
